Sioux Lookout, ON – While the Province of Ontario’s stay-at-home order, issued April 16th, continues until at least June 2nd, changes announced yesterday will impact residents of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout.

Please note that all Municipal buildings will remain closed to the public until step two of the Roadmap to Reopen takes effect.

Our phone lines are being monitored and we continue our efforts to return calls quickly.

Currently, these Municipal facilities remain CLOSED to the public:
