Atikameksheng Anishnawbek is committed to the health and safety of all Atikameksheng community residents through this pandemic.
Atikameksheng Anishnawbek is taking proactive measures to protect the community and our staff given on-going developments related to COVID-19. Because of this we have closed our office indefinitely and non-essential service staff will be working remotely. This will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.
Until further notice, we will be closing our border to public traffic into Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. Please note that this border closure does not include residents, workers and deliveries.
We will have two people posted at the bridge entrance on 2 shifts a day with proper signage to advise of the border closure. We will also be placing new and larger signage to inform people that our borders are closed until further notice and that our shops are closed. R&J Fuels have reduced hours their fuel sales are only to residents and workers at this time. Thank you everyone for your cooperation in helping us protect our community, please assist us in spreading the word.
We have established an Atikameksheng COVID-19 Response Team do deal with matters in relation to this pandemic.
