Salmo Newsletter: New Tags for Extra Garbage Bags Mar 15, 2022

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 02:28:34 +0000

Salmo residents are entitled to put out two (2) bags of garbage per week; a service paid for as part of your yearly Utility Bill along with spring and fall clean-up and your water and sewer services. However, should you have a week where you need to put out more than two bags, the extra bags need a special, high-visibility Extra Garbage Bag Tag. Extra Garbage Bag tags are available for purchase from the Village office and cost $3.25 per tag.

Extra bags without tags will be left at the curb.

Exchange Your Old Tags

We are switching over to the new tags illustrated above. If you have any existing tags please bring them into the office and we will exchange them for the new tags.

Salmo Newsletter: Masks to be a Personal Choice in Facilities Mar 11, 2022

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 11:23:20 +0000

Following yesterday’s announcement from the British Columbia Provincial Health Officer (PHO), the Village of Salmo will no longer require masks to be worn by members of the public in the Village office effective today, Friday, March 11, 2022. The PHO based this decision on B.C.’s lowered hospitalization and transmission rates. However, it is still the responsibility of the Village staff to determine what is appropriate to ensure the health and safety of our staff.

We ask that the public please respect the fact that staff, due to their own personal choice, may be wearing masks even if members of the public are not required to do so . We also respect that some members of the public may continue to wear their masks due to their personal choice.

“The Village greatly appreciates the commitment our residents and businesses have shown over the last two years to ensuring the health and safety, not only of our employees, but the community at large, since public health mandates were originally implemented,” said Mayor Diana Lockwood. “We are looking forward to seeing more smiling faces at all our facilities, while recognizing that some people will continue to feel more comfortable wearing masks.”
