Message from the Mayor​

TheTown of Petty Harbour/Maddox Cove has always been my home.  I, like many residents, was fortunate enough to have grown up in this special place.  My roots have been established here by many generations before me.  I have made a living from the sea and raised a family in Petty Harbour/Maddox Cove.  This community has served me well.  In September, 2017 I decided it was my time to serve my community in the role of Mayor of Petty Harbour/Maddox Cove.
 
As Mayor, it is my vision to maintain a balance between evolving with society while maintaining our traditional fishing community.  We must support the ever growing business community while ensuring residents maintain the peaceful surroundings that they have become accustomed to.  
 
As a Council, we must be committed to improving infrastructure and creating solutions to the problems that accompany progress.  We must work together for the betterment of not only this generation but future generations of residents of our town.   We must support our youth and seniors through our recreation programs and we must remember our history through projects like our War Memorial Cenotaph and our Heritage Museum. 
 
As I move forward in my role as mayor, I would like to see Petty Harbour/Maddox Cove remain as a thriving community both economically and socially.  I will continue to work alongside my fellow councillors in a transparent and open municipal council.  My goal is to create a healthy community where residents, business owners, and council can stand together as champions of Petty Harbour/Maddox Cove.
 
Sam Lee
Mayor
Town of Petty Harbour/Maddox Cove

​COVID-19 is an illness caused by a novel coronavirus. The most common symptoms are similar to a cold or flu and include fever, fatigue, cough and difficulty breathing. According to Health Canada and the World Health Organization, symptoms may take up to 14 days to appear after exposure. It is believed that COVID-19 can live on surfaces for 3 days. Most people who contract COVID-19 recover on their own; some may not experience symptoms. However, the likelihood that a person becomes severely ill as a result is higher in elderly people and people with underlying medical conditions or a weakened immune system.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (“PHAC”) has assessed current risk of COVID-19 to public health as being low for the general population in Canada. However, this could change rapidly and there is widespread concern that COVID-19 has the potential to overwhelm the Canadian health care system.
Staff can be reached at 709-368-3959 or mdinn@phmc.nf.net or sstack@phmc.nf.net.   All town services such as garbage collection and water system maintenance will continue as normal.
