King expanding services in Step Three

King is expanding its services, with more on the horizon as the province enters Step Three of its Roadmap to Reopen.
“King is looking forward to expanding service offerings in accordance with increased gathering limits as included in Step Three and we remain committed to taking a gradual, safe approach to reopening,” said Mayor Steve Pellegrini.
The health and safety of residents, program participants, visitors and staff, along with the continued operation of the vaccination clinic, remains the top priority while the Township acknowledges the public is eagerly looking for the return of recreational programs, and facilities to reopen.
“Many of our staff continue to be redeployed to support King's vaccination clinic at the Trisan Centre which will remain operational until July 29. A phased approach for reopening is necessary to allow the Township to decommission and close-out the clinic, remobilize staff, provide necessary training and prepare facilities to reopen safely,” said Pellegrini.
Subject to provincial guidelines, King is aiming to gradually reopen facilities and programs this fall beginning in September. However, the early rollout of Step Three now enables some limited in-person services to be accelerated beginning in August.
While the King Township Municipal Office (2585 King Road) remains operational and open to staff only, residents can still access many Township services online, by phone or by email. The ServiceKing Customer Service Centre is available to respond to general inquiries by email at serviceking@king.ca or by phone at 905-833-5321, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Residents can also report an issue, and/or submit a general inquiry using the ServiceKing online portal.
