Only two customers will be allowed at the front counter at a time. Customers are asked to respect social distancing guidelines and stay two metres apart while waiting.
Wedding ceremonies at City Hall will also resume that same day with up to 10 people at indoor ceremonies in the Susan A. Thompson Building, 15 people at indoor ceremonies in the Council Building, and 25 people at outdoor ceremonies.
Regular business hours will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
