BRUCE COUNTY – On Monday, Sept. 13, Bruce County administrative buildings in Walkerton, Kincardine, Port Elgin, and Wiarton welcomed the public back for in-person service.

Bruce County continues to follow the health measures announced by the Ontario government and Grey Bruce Health Unit in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 variants and provide a safe customer service experience for the community. The public will be received at county facilities by customer service and at the discretion of each county department. Pre-booked appointments are still encouraged. Bruce County will also continue to offer customer service virtually and are happy to assist residents online and over the phone.

What to expect

  • Safety precautions will be in place at Bruce County facilities, including signage, hand hygiene stations, plexiglass barriers, physical distancing markers, enhanced cleaning, and designated meeting spaces.
  • County staff will be wearing face coverings while meeting with the public and members of the public are encouraged to wear face coverings at county facilities during their appointments.
  • At the main entrance, the public will have to complete a self-screening assessment, hand hygiene, and a sign-in on the visitor logbook. The public can then proceed to the administration area for assistance.

Please reschedule your visit or use virtual customer service if you do not pass the provincial COVID-19 self-assessment.
