“The Town and County have been working together through the Stettler Regional Emergency Management Agency and have formed the Emergency Operating Centre to monitor to situation. We want to ensure you that this collaboration will continue to provide ongoing support and information throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and that we will always take the health and safety of our residents seriously.”
