The Ashcroft village office will be closed for the next five days due to a positive COVID-19 exposure.

The closure came into effect today, Jan. 21, with the office scheduled to open at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 26.

It means Monday’s planned village council meeting in Ashcroft has been cancelled.

The next Ashcroft village council meeting is slated to take place on Feb. 14.
