Important Covid-19 Update

As of June 15th NDRC is opened with modified hours and precautions.
Only one client will be permitted to enter at a time and those who have traveled outside the province or are feeling ill in any way are asked to stay at home and send applications by mail or renew by phone.

We are now open Monday to Friday from 9-12 and 12:30-3:30

Please note: We are closed from 12-12:30 as a precaution for cleaning and shift change

We ask that if you can, you still renew or apply for a parking permit placard by mail or phone (250-758-5547). Reduced contact is still the safest way to stop the spread of Covid-19.

Please ensure your Doctor has signed the application (for new permits or temporary permit renewals) and it has your current phone number and mailing address.

Please call NDRC with any questions 250-758-5547

Computer School has moved to a new format: 1-1 sessions are half an hour each but students may book as many as they like. Due to close proximity students and teachers are both required to wear masks. If you are interested in booking an appointment please call and ask for Marie or Allison at the number above Monday-Thursday.

 

New Programs Announcement

NDRC has been working to create new programs for seniors and Persons with Disabilities. We have two new programs to announce:

Our Telephone Visiting Program:

As often as is convenient for you (once a week to once a month), you will receive a phone call from a volunteer. Participants and volunteers are matched based on preferred topics of conversation, hobbies or interests. With many events, activities and groups shut down due to Covid-19 and most people shut in doors most days this program allows people to connect and “visit” in a physically distanced manner.

Assistance with PWD

We can now help obtain the PWD form and assist with the application process. If you need help, please call Allison at 250-758-5547 or email allison@ndrc.info.
