ATTENTION:

In Response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus:

Effective immediately, the Town and R.M. of Big River are closing all Town and R.M. owned buildings to the public including the Big River Arena, Community Center, Library, Centennial Building and Senior’s Center until further notice; this includes access to the Town and R.M. offices. The Town and R.M. offices will be open to take phone calls during regular office hours.

This decision was not made lightly, however the steps being taken are in the best interest of the community as a whole. The goal is to reduce the risk and limit transmission of COVID-19 to ourselves, our families and our community.
