Significant Weather Event Declaration - February 17, 2025

(pursuant to Section16.9 of Ontario Regulation 239/02, as amended)

The Township is declaring a Significant Weather Event in response the ongoing winter storm.

This means that we’re working hard to clear snow, but the severe conditions are making it difficult to maintain roads and sidewalks to the minimum standards set out by the Province of Ontario (O. Reg 239/02).

We may be required to plow high volume roads multiple times before being able to address lower traffic routes, subdivisions and sidewalks. We’re asking residents to postpone any non-essential travel and to use extreme caution if you must leave your house.

Providing for the safety of the travelling public throughout the Township is a responsibility that our staff take very seriously. We appreciate your patience and understanding as staff complete their work.

The public is asked not to park on Township streets while plowing activities are being performed, and to refrain from depositing snow on municipal roadways or sidewalks.

The declaration will be lifted when we can once again meet the minimum standards for snow clearing. Stay tuned to this page and our website for further updates.
