Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in neighbouring health units, the Municipality of West Elgin has made the decision to suspend rentals, and/or use, of facilities by individuals from areas that have been placed in a high risk designation.

Effective immediately, all municipal facilities including the West Elgin Community Centre and Rodney Recreation Centre will be closed for rental or use by those from designated COVID-19 restricted (red) or lockdown (grey) areas. Residents living in other areas designated yellow and orange, such as Chatham-Kent or Sarnia-Lambton, will be allowed to continue using West Elgin facilities at this time.

While this was a difficult decision to make, the safety of municipal staff, other facility users and local residents must remain a top priority during these challenging times.
