Environment Canada’s Special Weather Statement for our area has been lifted, and we are now in the process of cleaning up from the storm.
Crews have been out and about clearing snow and ice since 4am this morning. By the end of the day today, all roads and sidewalks are expected to have been plowed and salted.
Staff are actively monitoring the weather and completing winter patrols. Should we receive additional snow or need to deal with drifting over the weekend, staff will respond as required.
Residents are encouraged to assist our efforts by keeping catch basins, drainage routes and fire hydrants clear of snow, ice or other debris where possible, and to report any blockages or areas where there is water ponding on roads or sidewalks. This can be done by utilizing the ‘Report a Problem’ section of Central Elgin’s website. https://webforms.centralelgin.org/Report-a-Problem This assists staff in providing a more efficient response to these concerns while allowing for proper documentation of the issue. Please note that all submissions are appropriately reviewed and actioned upon where necessary, however staff will not necessarily provide a response back to every submission.
We also remind all residents and travelers to exercise caution while travelling our roads and sidewalks. We thank you for your patience and understanding as our staff respond to the issues and concerns caused by these weather conditions.
We hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Family Day weekend.
