Wondering if anyone else has been contacted by any of their V.O.’s asking to cancel or postpone their drill for 2020. I anticipate to get more requests in this regard with the risk of Covid.
The communique “mitigating risk to covid-19” allows the CFO to review inspection and fire drill requirements. Just curious how other departments are handling the situation.

One of the problems we all face is that these inspections and drills are required by regulations and directives. We don’t have the legal authority, common sense notwithstanding, to forgo them. The province has made other emergency regulations, for example, removing the requirement for certain permits during this pandemic. If we are to skip doing the drills and inspections this year it needs to come from the province.
We are holding off right now as the year is still relatively young, but this will be more of an issue as time passes.

I also would like to see some direction from the Province on this as it’s a lot harder with these to justify postponing them when compared to chip trucks or property sales.
Chris, don’t forget that the timing of these is once every 12 months, not once every calendar year. I’ve got one in Aug, 1 in Oct, 4 in Nov and 1 in Dec.
