Support local during COVID-19
Listowel and North Perth during COVID-19
The Listowel BIA would like to say thank you to all front line health care workers: nurses, doctors, support staff, PSW's, technologists and cleaning staff, for their tireless work during this exceptional time. We also want to thank the essential businesses and their employees that continue to provide us with needed services. And finally, thank you to our amazing community for doing your part to help stop the spread and flatten the curve. The Listowel BIA is so thankful to be a part of this community and know that together we will get through this. We look forward to when we can enjoy all that Listowel has to offer and we can fully shop, dine and discover Listowel.
