IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Township Administration Building reopens February 18

Ramara/February 17, 2021 - As the Simcoe Muskoka Health Unit catchment area moved into the Red-CONTROL Zone on February 16, 2021, the Township of Ramara Administration Building will open to the public for appointment only, other than for
services offered in the Finance Department, on Thursday, February 18th, 2021.

The only walk-in service available will be those services in the Finance Department which include the following:

  • Paying a Bill (taxes, utilities and accounts receivable)
  • Purchasing water tokens
  • Tax and utility bill lookup
  • Purchasing dog tags

For services such as business licenses, commissioning of documents, building and planning applications, the public will be required to book an appointment online or by phone. Residents can book online using the Book an appointment tool, and all
appointments will be booked in blocks of 30 minutes with staff. This will allow for proper physical distancing within the office and allow time for staff to properly sanitize before the next appointment.

The following safety precautions are now in place:

  • Everyone entering the Administration Building is required to wear a face covering.
  • Members of the public will access the entrance located at the front of the building closest to Highway 12.
  • If meeting a staff member for an appointment, the public will need to complete the COVID-19 screening tool before entering the building.
  • Signage and floor decals will indicate proper physical distancing.
  • Everyone entering the municipal building is encouraged to use hand sanitizer available at the entrance and regularly throughout their stay.

Residents are still encouraged to call in to speak with staff and access municipal services online where available. Residents can access all online services at www.ramara.ca/onlineservices.


The Township also wants to remind the community that we all have a role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 that goes beyond following provincial restrictions. The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit advises everyone to keep safe and to do the following:

  • The fewer people you have contact with the lower the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
  • Remember that just because you know someone, it does not reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19.
  • Trips outside of the home should only be for essential reasons (work, school, groceries/pharmacy, health care, assisting vulnerable individuals, or exercise and physical activity).
  • Do not visit any other households or allow visitors in their homes. If you live alone, you can have close contact with only one other household.

The Township of Ramara is working diligently to keep residents informed during the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information on how services are impacted, please visit www.ramara.ca/COVID-19. For more information on how you can book an appointment, what to expect when entering municipal facilities and access to the COVID-19 screening tool, please visit www.ramara.ca/ ramarareopens.
