Town of Shelburne to Terminate Emergency Declaration on March 1, 2022

The Town of Shelburne will terminate its Emergency Declaration on March 1, 2022. The decision has been made in consultation with key partners including the County of Dufferin.

The Town declared an Emergency on March 20, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, an Emergency Declaration provides the Mayor with the authority to take actions and make orders they consider necessary to protect property and the health, safety and welfare of Shelburne residents.

"This is in no way a signal that our collective efforts against COVID-19 are over, but it does highlight the fact that we are moving beyond the emergency phase of those efforts. We are able to take this important step because the vast majority of residents have pulled together and have done what was necessary to confront this unprecedented public health challenge” says Mayor Mills. “I am grateful for the resolve and commitment that has been demonstrated by so many throughout our community." 

To date, over 80 per cent of eligible Shelburne residents (ages 5+) are fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine.
