The North Bay MFRC is pleased to announce, effective 4 August, we have reopened to   in-person services Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The health and safety of our clients and our staff is of the utmost importance to us. When you come to visit the MFRC, you’ll notice a few changes right away. Signage has been posted in the front desk area, between the two front doors as well as throughout the building. Visitors are required to follow social distancing by obeying the 2 meter or 6 feet distance rule. Upon entering the building, you will be asked to use the hand sanitizer provided at our entrance and wear a mask. If you have forgotten your mask please ask the front desk prior to entering and one can be provided to you. The completion of contact tracing information is required prior to receiving services.

We have also implemented additional cleaning procedures throughout the facility to help reduce the risk of transmission.

In accordance with Ontario Provincial Heath Regulations, please do not enter the facility if you:

• Have a fever, cough, sore throat, running nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches or shortness of breath.
• Have been in close contact, in the last 14 days, with someone who is being investigated or confirmed to be a case of COVID-19.
• Have travelled outside of Canada in the last 14 days or been in close contact with someone that has travelled outside of Canada in the last 14 days.

For those not yet ready to venture out in-person, our services will continue to be provided over the phone or virtually by email, Zoom and WebEx. The MFRC is working to determine when and what in-person programs may be offered in the near future. The start-up programs will vary depending on the service area and our ability to meet the current Provincial Health Guidance.
