Got questions about COVID-19? Ask them at Burlington’s town hall event tonight
The City of Burlington is hosting another COVID-19 telephone town hall event tonight from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The town hall provides an opportunity for the community to hear information and ask questions about the on-going pandemic and recent impacts on city programs and services.
“It’s what’s on the minds of the community,” Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward said in an interview on Morning Live. “I know there may be a lot of questions about health, Omicron and vaccines.”
Meed Ward will host the meeting and be joined by a panel of local leaders, including representatives from Joseph Brant Hospital and the provincial and federal governments.
You can call 1-800-759-5308 to join the town hall or listen to it live on channel 700 on Cogeco.
