Following the Provincial declaration of the COVID-19 Circuit Breaker measures, the Town of Kensington is taking further steps to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate impacts on municipal services, as the health and safety of residents remains the number one priority.
Effective on Monday, March 1, 2021 at 12:00 am, the following Town facilities will be restricting public access, only open to Town of Kensington employees:
• Town Public Works Garage and Utility Services (Stewart Street) – 902-439-5202 OR publicworks@kensington.ca

Employees will continue to work from these facilities and will assist the public via online, phone, and email services (noted above). The public restrictions are a measure to protect residents, Town Staff and Council, and ensure essential and emergency services are not jeopardized. These restrictions will also help ensure the two-meters of social distancing continues to be met, as per continued recommendations from the Public Health Office.
Following information from the Chief Public Health Office, the Town encourages the public and its staff to follow routine prevention measures, including:
• Washing hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds;

• If ill with acute respiratory symptoms, stay home if possible;
