COVID-19

Huron Perth Public Health is the lead agency working with the Ministry of Health, Public Health Ontario and healthcare providers to monitor the COVID-19 situation and take actions as appropriate. Central Huron is following recommendations from Huron Perth Public Health to ensure we are prepared to respond to the situation as it evolves.

What we're doing

The Municipality of Central Huron is taking steps to ensure the health and safety of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. These include:

  • Closing all municipal offices and facilities to encourage social distancing
  • Maintaining important services like fire, police and paramedics, as well as garbage and recycling collection
  • Offering an up-to-date directory of shops, restaurants and services
  • Communicating with the County of Huron 

What's open and closed

All Central Huron facilities are currently closed to the public. Some services remain operational and will be delivered in a way that protects the healthy and safety of our residents and staff.

A list of municipal facilities that are closed indefinitely is available below. Please note, municipal staff remain in place at some facilities and are offering limited services during this closure. Click on the facility or department for full details and contact information.

SPLASH PAD:

The Splash Pad will be open as of June 17, 2020 8 AM - 8 PM

Please ensure that proper physical distancing is taking place. There is a MAXIMUM OF 10 PEOPLE allowed on the splash pad at one time. 

POOL:

With much discussion and consideration, the Municipality of Central Huron has made the decision of keeping the Clinton Public Pool closed for the 2020 season. The reasons for keeping the pool closed are due to the current COVID-19 crisis and for maintenance work needing to be completed. 

 

PUBLIC WASHROOMS:

The washrooms at the Clinton Community Park, 95 Park Lane, are now open for public use from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm - they will be cleaned once a day from Monday to Friday, but no enhanced sanitization beyond that, so proper hand sanitizing practices and COVID protocols should be followed.
