COVID-19

Mayor Miro Weinberger provides an update on the local response to Covid-19 and new and returning summer programs for Burlington youth. 

This Memorial Day, the commemoration hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 782 is a little different: While the tradition of honoring and remembering members of the United States military who died serving the country remains unchanged, this year the VFW and City of Burlington also pauses to remember those in the community lost during the pandemic.

The VFW sets up a field of flags to honor each person who passed away from COVID-19 in the City so far, along with two trumpet solos, remarks from the Post Commander, Mayor, and a leader from the Vermont National Guard. The Vermont Guard has stepped forward in such an incredible way throughout this pandemic. The ceremony concludes with taps.

Everyone needs housing. Housing is fundamental whether for health, safety, or to be ready to learn or work. And, some people rely on the income they receive from providing housing. Join the panelists for a discussion of resources available to landlords and tenants to help ensure stable housing and to help get the rent paid. What comes after COVID restrictions on evictions are lifted? Learn what happens if you have to go to Court. And, where you can turn for help.
