Public Notice - COVID-19 Updates for Office and Garbage

Update: January 21st, 2021

A meeting of the Emergency Operations Centre was held to assess the evolving COVID-19 situation. The Province of Ontario is seeing a significant increase in cases and will be updating the current measures already in place within the following week.

The EOC made the proactive decision to protect its staff and the public by approving the following measures which may impact you:

• Township office will remain closed and continue to following the Province of Ontario's stay at home order or other applicable orders. Staff remain available by phone or email.

• The Public Works Department will continue to provide services in relation to road maintenance. However, we encourage all members of the public to call in or email their concerns and not approach staff on the road.

• Essential services such as OPP, Fire, Public Works, By-law Enforcement, Building Inspection, garbage and recycling collection will continue to be provided for the safety and well-being of our residents.

The Township will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves and take direction from the Federal government, Provincial government, and Health Unit. As always, we encourage all residents to be prudent and follow the directives from the Health Unit on how to protect themselves and their family.

GARBAGE BAG TAG ANNOUNCEMENT AS OF JANUARY 19, 2021

In order to reduce the need for members of the public to come to the office during the increased COVID-19 risk, Council has made the following change; as of January 1, 2021, residents will be allowed to have three (3) bags of household garbage untagged at the curb. 

Garbage bag tags will be reinstated as of March 1, 2021.

Please ensure that your household garbage is at the curb and available for pickup at 7:00am.
