Recorded message from Mayor Junkin to reach residents April 7, 2020

As part of a communications strategy employed by the Region of Niagara and local municipalities, residents of Pelham may receive a second recorded phone message from Mayor Marvin Junkin, this time reminding them of the current state of emergency and encouraging them to stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community. 

Some residents may be weary of recorded messages during the COVID-19 pandemic, as various scams have been reported, however, the Town of Pelham would like to assure residents that this recording from Mayor Junkin is an authorized message.
