CLIENT ALERT – INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITIES REGARDING COVID-19 Read More
Continuing to Support Our First Nation Communities
When Ontario first declared a state of emergency in response to COVID-19 on March 17, everyone at OFNTSC sprang into action. Our staff were already equipped to start working remotely and the transition was virtually seamless.
While our offices remain closed for the foreseeable future, and as we monitor the situation daily, I want to assure you that our staff continue to work just as hard to ensure you and your community receive the same high quality technical advisory services you've come to expect from OFNTSC.
As restrictions around stay at home orders begin to lift, and more organizations start to open up in Ontario, we've taken a proactive approach to our eventual return to the office by re-invigorating our internal Joint Health and Safety Committee. This committee will be working diligently to establish the "new normal" for how we will work together upon our return to the office.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to us should you have any questions about how we might be able to support you/your community during this time.
We've got a lot happening and exciting plans, so without further ado, please enjoy our June 2020 newsletter.
