City Facility COVID-19 Safety Plans

WorkSafe BC requires the COVID-19 safety plans to be publicly available for City facilities. Please use the links below to view these plans

Key points for City Facilities and Amenities

Enhanced protocols and sufficient distancing will be in place - Re-Opening in phases does not mean we will be back to the way things were before the COVID-19 pandemic. Preventative measures will still be in place. These measures will be posted at all sites as appropriate.
Not every amenity and service at this time – We still need to be cautious. If our enhanced protocols don’t work for certain buildings, spaces, or services, we will hold off until it is safe to re-open.
Do your part. We can’t go backwards now, we’ve worked too hard - We commend all of you for your hard work and sacrifices over the last several months. We ask that you continue to follow all recommended preventative measures and adhere to any restrictions noted by the City and the Province of BC. And, please be supportive and courteous so we can continue to protect everyone in our community.

The City of Trail continues to follow all recommendations advanced by the Federal Government, the Provincial Government, the Provincial Health Officer and Interior Health as part of protecting the health and safety of the community.
