As we enter this next phase of our pandemic response, we are committed to prioritizing the health and well-being of our staff and residents.
I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to all of the staff and volunteers at Middlesex County, especially the frontline workers at Middlesex-London Paramedic Service (MLPS), the staff at Strathmere Lodge and our Community Emergency Response Volunteer (CERV) team, for all of the incredible work they have done to keep our communities safe throughout the pandemic.
