City of Niagara Falls COVID-19 Response Efforts:

The health and welfare of our staff, residents and visitors is a top priority for the City of Niagara Falls as we are following the ever changing impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). As this is a rapidly evolving situation, the City's Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) is activated. Discussions and decisions are being made on a daily basis. The role of the City’s EOC, staffed by employees trained in emergency management, is to coordinate a response to any type of emergency. The EOC provides support and resources in the event of an emergency and ensures business continuity for City of Niagara Falls services. This provides the City the opportunity to have key staff at the table to ensure we are making decisions that help protect the public and our employees.

Further to the Premier of Ontario declaring a State of Emergency, and the Prime Minister of Canada encouraging Canadians to stay home wherever possible, the City of Niagara Falls will be prioritizing the delivery of all essential services, effective immediately, to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The closure of all City facilities to the public has affected our ability to delivery some City services. The City’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) has identified that the following essential services will be maintained during this time: Fire Services

Transit

Burials

Water & Sewer Emergency repairs

Water Meter Sales to support building occupancy

Road Condition Inspection

Major Road, Pothole and Trench repairs

Winter Maintenance

Forestry Emergencies

Fleet Emergency and Essential Services Support

Limited Building Permit Inspections

View the FAQ on City Services page for details about any changes to these services. All other services are subject to delay. The City would like to thank residents in advance for their cooperation, patience and understanding during these unprecedented circumstances. City of Niagara Falls staff will remain available to assist and serve citizens online and over the phone. Phones will continue to be answered between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM Monday to Friday (905-356-7521), and online services will remain available at www.niagarafalls.ca For more information regarding the City’s ongoing response to COVID-19, citizens are encouraged to visit a new Frequently Asked Questions section, to help residents access the information they need.
