Chapleau's creating a "Vulnerable Persons Registry" for use during local emergencies.
Mayor Michael Levesque explains Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board introduced the idea, which addresses concerns raised about seniors living alone during a prior power outage in Chapleau.
Mayor Levesque says Council's approved an agreement with the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre and Acorn Information Systems to compose the registry, which will be used by the Township's emergency management team.
