PEACE OFFICER CORNER
Good-day to the Town of Calmar.
It’s been trying times the last couple of months. Social distancing is the new norm, and will be for the foreseeable future. My message will be brief, but has a serious tone. To date, Calmar has no cases of COVID-19 to my knowledge. In order to keep it that way we all must do our part to follow Government and Municipal instruction. There are links on the Calmar website that cover everything from enforcement, guidelines, assistance, and information. It’s my hope that these links will help residents of Calmar stay informed and up to date with whatever their needs are, assistance they may require, or questions they may have.
I need to stress what social distancing means;
- Walking closer than 2 metres with anyone not from your household – IS NOT ALLOWED
The simple question to ask yourself if you are complying with the laws; Am I, or my children, 2 metres away from anyone NOT IN MY HOUSEHOLD. If you answer yes, ALL GOOD! If you answer no, YOU
MAY RECEIVE A $1000.00 FINE.
Right now our town has been dodging a bullet. Don’t be that person who relaxes social distancing, or doesn’t care, and brings this killer virus to our town.
My final thought, use this time to realize what’s important in our lives, our families and friends. It’s stress-ful for everyone right now, but look into the eyes of those you care about and smile, because they are safe and healthy. Everything else we can replace or re-buy.
Stay safe, hug those you can who mean the most to you, working together we all WILL get through this.
Pasquale Leggio Community Peace Officer
