These city facilities include City Hall, Williams Parkway Operations Centre, city offices, Flower City Community Campus, and all other city administrative buildings that were previously closed.
“Over the past few months, our teams have been working hard to put in place enhanced protocols and safety measures so we’re ready and prepared to reopen,” said Medeiros.
Occupancy in these facilities will be limited to 25%, in line with provincial requirements, and the city will continue to provide its services online wherever possible.

We have continued to follow the advice of our public health experts through focusing on a cautious phased reopening and reintroduction of in-person services. While this is a new reality for us all, we are working to make this a safe and seamless transition for everyone,” Mayor Patrick Brown said in a news release.
