Elgin County Warden Dave Mennill issued a statement urging everyone to avoid any non-essential travel, including to rual  cottages and seasonal/secondary resiences such as condominiums and trailer parks.  The County of Elgin recognizes that while people might like to socially distance themselves at their cottage, trailer and/or seasonal residence during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,now is not the right time.  Non-residents of Elgin, who are usually welcome in Elgin County, are being asked during this time to refrain from staying at their seasonal home and to consider the impacts a higher, unexpected presence can have on rural populations.
