North Cowichan's Municipal Hall is open in a limited capacity to receive property tax payments, and dog and business licence payments. To protect staff and members of the public, plexi-glass guards have been installed at the front counter, along with increased hand-sanitizer stations. To comply with physical distancing requirements, the number of persons allowed in the building at one time will be limited.
Members of the public are required to wear a mask to enter all Municipal facilities. Disposable masks will be provided for members of the public who do not have their own. Services can be denied if a patron refuses to wear a mask.
