Due to extended mandatory measures for protection against COVID-19 in Algoma, the City of Elliot Lake is imposing restrictions for city facilities through to January 16.
Minor sports games will be suspended during these extended measures.
However, NOJHL games with the Elliot Lake Red Wings can proceed under modified restrictions.
The only programming the city is running is the indoor walking program which takes place at the Collins Hall, Monday through Thursday.
For more information, and for updates go to the Community and Recreation Calendar.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recreation Department at 705-848-2287 ext. 2402, or email [email protected].
Also, due to COVID-19 and recommendations by Algoma Public Health, all activities at the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 561 are cancelled until further notice. Tickets that were purchased for the New Year’s event will be refunded.
The Renaissance Active Living Centre is closed indefinitely, meaning New Year celebrations, Christmas bingo, and karaoke are all cancelled. You can call the Ren Centre to get your ticket money refunded.
The centre’s kitchen is selling takeout turkey lunch at the door. Call the centre at 705-862-4576 to place an order.
With Christmas and Boxing Days both falling on the weekend this year, many government offices, City Hall, banks and the Post Office will be closed Dec. 27 and 28, according to Statuary Holiday rules.
