Vulnerable residents are being offered some help in this time of need.
Mayor Michael Levesque explains there's a local initiative named "Help in Times of Need".
While information will be distributed throughout the community, Mayor Levesque says vulnerable members of the community - particularly seniors - can call 705-864-0747 or 705-347-2975 or 705-951-2828, with the same numbers for prospective volunteers.
The mayor - on behalf of Council - further commends the dedicated local health care workers and all those working hard to supply residents with essentials, including Valu-Mart and Collins Home Hardware, noting they do so "with a certain risk".
