As a result, federal, provincial and municipal governments and health agencies continue to recommend the practice of physical distancing.
While the Municipality of West Perth has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Municipality cannot guarantee that you and/or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19.
