The Milton Community Hall has been approved to participate in a Red Cross “Stop the Spread” rapid screening test program. The tests are now available for participants/volunteers at events and activities at the hall. They are optional. As the hall must report (anonymously) the results of the tests, they must be done at the hall. The Red Cross requires that they only be used for people who are 18+, have no symptoms and have not been identified as close contacts. People swab their own noses, then usually return swabs to a hall volunteer for the rest of the testing process. The program requires that the hall report the numbers of tests and positive and negative results (no names) to Red Cross regularly and they have given us a waiver form for people to consent to report data to the Canadian Red Cross and to ensure they have consent to use the data to fulfill its obligations to Health Canada.  There is also a video (no sound) that shows the testing procedure.  The rapid tests should help to give everyone a bit more comfort attending events/activities. The tests are not mandatory, but given the high transmissibility of Omicron, we hope being able to be tested will help to keep everyone safer. It will allow those who may be contagious to learn that before symptoms appear, so can reduce the chances of infecting others. Anyone who tests a presumptive positive is asked to be tested at the Provincial PCR testing site to confirm results, and let the hall know the results of that testing, so it can be reported to Red Cross.
If anyone might be interested in volunteering to assist with the testing and record keeping during the half hour (approximately) before events, please contact the hall at 902-566-3154. Training and PPE will be provided.

The hall also received a limited number of rapid tests which can be used off-site, for all-ages, and do not require reporting of results. Contact the hall if you might need a rapid test from this batch (eg. Youth, housebound person…)

Also – the Municipality is updating its Emergency Management Plan -and would like to include the names and phone numbers of residents who might be willing to assist in an emergency situation (if available). If you have specialized equipment or skills that could be helpful in an emergency -such as snowmobiles, ATV, medical training, fluency in other languages, portable generator… please let the Council office know. As well, if anyone is interested in being on the Emergency management committee, please let Shari know.


Reminder, vax passes are required for all activities at the Milton Community Hall, and people with any Covid-19 symptoms should not enter the hall.


Also – if residents are reminded that if you are registering your children for extracurricular events and activities that there is a Child Bursary Program which will reimburse up to $75/child per year (April 1-March 31). If you are not sure if you have already received the bursary this year, check the list of recipients here. The application form for the bursary and the rebates for low flow replacement toilets  or showerheads rebate or HE washer rebate is also there.


Also, usually this is the week we make the blankets for Family Violence Prevention Week, but this important week has been moved to the spring, so blanket making will also happen in May.

Happy Valentines!
