COVID-19 Service Level Advisory

As the CVRD administrative office is functioning with limited operations due to the current public health advisory,  Bylaw Enforcement and animal control services are being maintained in a limited capacity.  Staff will continue to respond to and investigate bylaw enforcement and dangerous dog complaints, prioritized on their risk to public health and safety.
