Cariboo RD Offices & Libraries remain open for in-person service

Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:

In-person counter service remains available at Cariboo Regional District offices and libraries at this time. However, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the workplace, some staff are currently working from home, and fewer representatives than normal are available to assist with front-counter service.

Appointments are recommended for anyone needing to do in-person business at a regional district office. Please call our head office at 250-392-3351 (toll free 1-800-665-1636) if you have questions about CRD services, or to set up an appointment with a CRD staff member at any of our regional offices. Please note, the use of face masks and other COVID-19 prevention measures currently recommended by public health agencies are in place at all CRD locations.

Residents and property owners are encouraged to utilize the district’s online forms and applications as an alternative to in-person visits. A number of common services, such as building permits, development applications, and bylaw complaints can be accessed via our website: cariboord.ca.

Cariboo Regional District libraries also remain open to the public. As with our offices, we encourage patrons to call or email their local branch with any questions or requests before visiting. Online holds, curbside pick-up, and library card registration by phone are some of the COVID-19 prevention measures in place at regional libraries to ensure access to materials while keeping patron safety as our top priority. You can access library online services at their website: http://www.cln.bc.ca/

The recent unwelcome trend in COVID-19 infection rates highlights the need for continued measures to combat the pandemic. We urge everyone living and working in the Cariboo region to observe COVID-19 safety measures, extend care and compassion to those in need, and continue to take the steps necessary to ease restrictions and speed a return to daily life.
