News release: May 17, 2021
Victoria Day Holiday Service Hours at the Region of Peel
Brampton, ON. (May 17, 2021) – Region of Peel offices and non-emergency services will be closed for Victoria Day on Monday, May 24, 2021.
As the Region of Peel continues to support efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19, certain Regional facilities and services remain affected until further notice. As Peel’s vaccine roll-out continues, it will take time to reduce case counts enough to loosen our public health measures. Following public health advice still remains our best defense. Take care of each other over the long weekend by only gathering with those you live with. For family and friends who live outside your home, take photos and arrange virtual calls to stay connected and maintain physical distance.
Vaccination clinics
Vaccination clinics continue to be open, by appointment only, for those who are eligible to receive the vaccine.
