The Municipality of Harrison Park is relying on the guidance of healthcare professionals and the provincial government as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. All Manitobans have a role to play in slowing the spread of the virus and minimizing its impact on our health-care system and in our communities. The Municipality of Harrison Park continues to support social distancing measures. Effective immediately, all visitors to the Municipal Offices are required to wear a ma...sk. There will be no public access to the Municipality of Harrison Park Public Works Shop, Village Shops, Fire Halls, and Waste Disposal Site Offices. While our offices currently remain open to the public, we request that our ratepayers pay bills online or mail a cheque if possible, rather than coming into the office to do so. We also ask that any requests or concerns should be phoned in or emailed. Anyone displaying symptoms of illness should not enter the office for any reason. The Municipality of Harrison Park will be continually evaluating these measures. As per Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living: Community transmission of COVID-19 is occurring across much of the Prairie Mountain Health Region. New clusters are occurring, but can be controlled through self-isolation, testing, and contact tracing so they do not spread further. The health care system is currently able to manage COVID-19 case levels, however changes in restrictions and behaviors are required to prevent further level changes. Prairie Mountain Health region remains elevated to the restricted level according to the #RestartMB Pandemic Response System. As of Monday, Aug. 24, masks will be mandatory in all public indoor places and at all indoor and outdoor public gatherings in the region. Public gatherings will also be restricted to 10 people, both indoors and outdoors. Manitobans in the Prairie Mountain Health Region must: Stay home when sick. Practice social distancing, hand washing/sanitizing and cough etiquette. Wear a mask in all indoor public places and at all indoor and outdoor public gatherings. Follow public health guidance on travel and self-isolation. Limit group sizes to a maximum of 10 people indoors and outdoors. Vulnerable people, such as seniors, are encouraged to exercise additional caution. The Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living website is a great resource to find factual, clear information regarding COVID-19, and what you need to know in Manitoba. Please visit https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/coronavirus/index.html.

We would like to remind all Homeowners, cottagers and visitors in the Municipality of Harrison Park to be Bear Smart. Double bag garbage and place it in a bear-resistant container, secured building or fenced area and only put out on garbage collection day if you have pickup. Clean garbage containers regularly with bleach or ammonia. ... Take garbage with you when you leave or ask a neighbour to put out your garbage just before pick-up. Don’t burn garbage. Don’t compost any food items. Remove all birdfeeders between April and November. Clean barbeques thoroughly after every use. Wrap in plastic and store indoors when not in use. Feed pets and keep their food dishes indoors. Pick all ripened fruit from fruit trees. Remove fallen fruit from the ground. Be aware that odours from cooking, baking and composting can attract bears. Please see the brochure published by Manitoba Conservation for more information: https://www.gov.mb.ca//problem_wi/pdf/bebearsmart_bklt.pdf

FYI - A typical running water toilet will waste hundreds of gallons of water per month which translates to approximately $200 unnecessarily tacked onto your quarterly water bill-- that's nearly $800 dollars a year down your toilet bowl. The above scenario is in the case of an extreme toilet leak. (This is also the same for a leaky facet). Even if you don't see the leak in the toilet it can be leaking. To test if your toilet is always running put some Kool-Aid liquid into the tank of your toilet and without flushing, if the color in your bowl changes color, you have a leak in your toilet. Its cheaper to buy Kool-Aid and test then find out your toilet is leaking with a high water bill!

CAUTION! When you see our crew, working or cutting grass, please slow down and drive with care. Stay alert, minimize distractions and show respect for our crew that is hard at work for you!

NOTICE: With the warm weather and the weekends ahead, The council of the Municipality of Harrison Park are asking all residents and visitors to follow the provincial public health orders and guidelines. This includes limiting gatherings and appropriate social distancing measures. http://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/

REMINDER: to residents of the Municipality of Harrison Park that we have started our summer hours for our Council meetings. All Council meetings will start at 6:00 p.m. from May until October, 2020.

The Municipality of Harrison Park wants to issue a reminder to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Rags, wipes, paper towels and sheets can cause damage to the Municipals waste water system or home septic systems leading to costly and timely repairs. Even items like wipes that claim to be flushable don’t break down easily and can clog the sewer and septic systems. Bottom Line is that the only safe items to flush are human waste and toilet paper. If you are forced to use something other than toilet paper, please place it in a bag and dispose of it in your trash.

During these difficult times, our number one priority is to continue to deliver essential services while keeping residents and employees safe. The fear of the unknown, can be the greatest fear of all. Don’t forget about the seniors and the most vulnerable people in our communities. Reach out to your neighbors and offer to help them out, or simply check in with them to make sure they know they are not alone. A number of our residents are in mandatory self-isolation or considered at high risk of contracting COVID-19. As this pandemic evolves, the need to help one another will increase. The Municipality recognizes this and in order to help our residents, the Municipality is offering to keep a list of people willing to assist neighbors at this time of need. If you would like to volunteer, please contact our office at 204-848-7614. If you are in self-isolation or considered at high risk, and in need of assistance, please contact our office and we will forward your information to one of the volunteers to lend you a hand. If you have any further questions, please contact our office at 204-848-7614 and our staff will be more than willing to assist you. The Province of Manitoba has also introduced a new online tool to connect volunteers with those in need. Go to: www.HelpNextDoorMB.ca to access this resource.
