Harassment and intimidation of office staff have led the Village of Richmound council to close the village office to the public.
Outside of pre-arranged appointments and village council meetings, the doors will not be open to the general population.
The measures ensure that the Village is providing a safe working environment, in compliance with the Saskatchewan Health and Safety and Employment Standards Acts.
"We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we take necessary steps to protect our staff and maintain a safe workplace," -the Village of Richmound via an official notice to the public.
Appointments with the Village may be booked via phone call or email.
Richmound has been under tension ever since Romana Didulo and her associates took up residence at the old Richmound School location in 2023.
The Village has tried to convince Didulo, who self-proclaims herself to be the Queen of Canada, to leave their community. The community has previously held protests against the 'Kingdom of Canada', and has previously called upon the government of Saskatchewan to step in.
