COVID-19 Update

All Town facilities are currently open and operating at regular capacity.

Masks are no longer required at most facilities, except for the St. Marys Child Care Centre and the Town of St. Marys EarlyON Centre. Parents, caregivers and staff are required to wear masks at these facilities until April 4, 2022.

The Town continues to encourage residents to follow remaining public health recommendations, like getting vaccinated and practicing good hand hygiene. Patrons are also asked to avoid visiting any Town facility if they are feeling sick.
