BURNS LAKE AND LAKES DISTRICT

COVID-19 Community Support Committee
Several community partners have organized a COVID-19 Community Support Committee in response to the COVID-19 crisis.  This committee is working on supporting community members who are in Self Isolation.  This includes:

  • volunteering to self isolate because of pre-existing medical issues
  • volunteering to self isolate for 14 days because of possible exposure
  • mandated to self-isolate for 14 days because of exposure or travel
  • self isolating because ill or show symptoms of becoming ill

Under these extraordinary circumstances it is important to have supports available for these community members.   Most community members will have family and friends that can help them at this time, but there may be other people who need additional support.

What can I do if I, or someone I know, needs help because they are in self isolation?

  • Email LDLINK4HELP@gmail.com with name and details, and the committee will contact you to make a plan.
  • If you don’t have access to email, please phone and leave a message at 250-251-1466 and we will return your call as soon as we are able.

NOTE:  This is not an information line.   For current information on the COVID-19 situation, please visit:

What will the committee be doing with this information?

    • Every attempt will be made to maintain privacy and keep people’s personal information safe.
    • The committee will work to meet the needs of the people as they arise – this could include picking up essential groceries, medication or supplies

The communities of the Lakes District are experienced and well situated to tackle this Health Crisis, but it will take a community response.  It is important that all stakeholders and partners work together to maximize resources and prevent duplication of services.

For more information on this committee, or to volunteer your assistance, please email us with your contact information LDLINK4HELP@gmail.com
