Snow and ice removal
The Transportation and Environmental Services Department is responsible for winter maintenance on municipal roads and sidewalks. Crews work diligently to clear snow and ice quickly, in accordance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways, O. Reg. 239/02.
Road closures
Municipal 511 displays all current road construction, road closures and maintenance activities. 
Significant weather events

If a significant weather event has been declared in accordance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways, O. Reg. 239/02, the information will be posted here.

 After hours road emergencies

For after hours road emergencies please call 519-986-1216 ext. 198

For all other emergencies, call 9-1-1

 Seasonal parking restrictions

Residents are reminded that restrictions for on-street parking are in effect during winter months. Parked vehicles reduce our ability to efficiently clear roads during snow events.

 

From November 15th to March 31st, there is no parking on any municipal road or street from 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.

 

Parked vehicles in contravention of the Municipality's By-law to Regulate Parking, By-law No. 2019-104 will be issued a penalty notice which may include a $30 fine and the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense. The operational condition of a vehicle is not an exemption to these requirements.

 

The Municipality would like to thank motorists in advance for their continued support in making our streets safer through the winter season. 

 Winter road conditions

Weather and road conditions can vary widely due to the size and geography of Grey Highlands. Motorists are encouraged to check the weather conditions before venturing out.
