| Significant Weather Events (SWE) |
|
The Significant Weather Event (SWE) Communication Protocol will enhance communications with both Council and residents should the municipality declare a Significant Weather Event.
A “Significant Weather Event” is defined as an approaching or occurring weather hazard with the potential to pose a significant danger to users of the highways within a municipality. Weather Hazards are determined by Environment Canada as meeting the criteria for the issuance of an alert under its Public Weather Alerting Program. This declaration suspends the standard timelines required for municipalities to meet their winter maintenance objectives until the municipality declares the significant weather event has ended. Once an SWE has ended, standard timelines for winter maintenance activities will begin. The times are in accordance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways, O. Reg. 239/02 The intent of a declaration is to notify the public that due to the current weather conditions, caution is to be exercised when travelling on the Municipality's streets and sidewalks, and that it may take longer than usual to restore them to the normal condition.

| 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. |
