Council Meeting Postponed

Council Meeting Postponed

Please be advised, the regular meting of Council originally scheduled to take place this Saturday, November 28, in Corner Brook has been postponed to December 12.

Band Manager Keith Goulding explained that recent news regarding the pandemic gave cause for concern to Council members about meeting face to face.

“In the Nov 23rd news conference regarding Covid-19, Dr. Janice Fitzgerald indicated that, while there is no evidence of wide-spread community spread, gatherings will need to wait until a vaccine is in place. While she stopped short of elevating the alert levels; the Chief and Council discussed the upcoming Council meeting and decided to defer the meeting in the interest of being mindful of the recommendations of the Chief Medical Officer for NL.”

The face-to-face meeting will take place in December if the epidemiology of the virus warrants it.  An additional update will be made at a later date.
