COVID-19

Spencerville Mill

Updated: January 1, 2022 at 11:30 a.m.

Declaration of Emergency - Terminated

The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (Counties) has made the decision to terminate the “Declaration of Emergency” regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act as of July 22, 2021.  Following are the considerations that informed this decision:

  • The supports required to continue to manage during the pandemic can be met with existing resources within the Counties.
  • Active recruitment and oversight of volunteers is not required by the Counties to continue operations under the current pandemic situation.
  • Declared emergencies are designed to heighten public awareness to an impending danger. Awareness of the pandemic is well established within the community.
  • Provincial and Federal financial programs have been designed and implemented relating specifically to the pandemic. Provincial disaster relief funding does not apply to Counties’ operations or our local ratepayers for the pandemic.

The Counties is encouraged by how the members of our community continue to adhere to public health guidance and are doing their part to become vaccinated. It is through these efforts that we continue to see progress in milestones in the fight against COVID-19. For more information on current provincial emergency orders, please visit, https://www.ontario.ca/page/emergency-information

Terminating the declaration of emergency does not mean the hard work is done, there is so much still ahead. We celebrate the amount of vaccinations that have been administered by the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit. It is important that our community continues to make vaccination a priority. The following information has been provided to assist anyone seeking vaccination.

How can I get vaccinated?

COVID-19 vaccine will be available for first, second or booster dose through pharmacies, primary care, or a mobile health unit vaccine clinic.

  • Book an appointment using the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark online booking portal.
  • Contact the Call Centre at 1-844-369-1234, open Monday to Friday - 8:30am to 4:00pm.
  • Contact a local participating pharmacy.
  • Contact your health care provider.

Declaration of an Emergency – Terminated July 22, 2021

Although the Emergency Declaration has been terminated, the Counties remains vigilant as the pandemic situation can change, and other jurisdictions have encountered a fourth wave. We encourage everyone to remain committed to practicing good hygiene and follow Public Health guidelines. Should our local situation change, the Counties will determine appropriate future actions required including the potential implementation of a new declaration.

For more information about COVID-19 vaccine, visit https://healthunit.org/covid-19-vaccine/ or call 1-800-660-5853.
