Victoria House is now closed. Our staff will be working from home and making contact with our clients regularly by phone over the next 4 weeks. This is our opportunity to demonstrate self care, compassion and kindness. It is also our opportunity to beat this virus. Please take care of yourselves and your whānau and friends. Remember social distancing does not mean you cant have contact with others it just means we do it in a different way

Due to heightened concern over the risk of COVID-19 transmission, the Timaru District Mayor has today announced that all community facilities including:

- Timaru District Libraries
- Temuka and Geraldine Library and Service Centres
- South Canterbury Museum
- Aigantighe Art Gallery
- Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki Centre (CBAY)
- Southern Trust Events Centre
- Botanic Gardens Conservatory and Interpretive Centre

will progressively close through today until further notice. Please see individual services for further details.

Many library services, including e-books and audiobooks are available online, arrangements for continued access to collections for vulnerable people are currently being worked on, we’ll update you with them as soon as possible.

All group fitness, learn to swim and swim squad meetings are now cancelled. We are in the process of contacting people to notify them of this.

Council services are still available from the main council building in Timaru, or many are available online or over the phone.

We apologise for any inconvenience. These decisions have not been made lightly, but are critically important to ensure the safety of the public and council staff.

In light of the outbreak of Covid-19 we have decided to close our service for the weekend. We are going to use the opportunity to extend on our already well established cleaning routine and give the house a good 'spring clean'. Unless there is further developments over the weekend we will open as usual on Monday morning. We suggest the weekend is used to prepare for potentially self isolating if it is required in the future. Do you have someone who can bring you supplies if you have to self isolate? lets plan for this just in case.

Timaru Mental Health Support Trust were grateful to receive support from South Canterbury Toyota. They have a great initiative supporting local charities and events. We were lucky enough to be one of the four charities that benefited this quarter
