Stormwater ponds

A reminder that stormwater ponds are not to be used as skating rinks. They are not intended or designed for recreational use as water levels can change rapidly and create unsafe conditions. This is extremely dangerous and poses many safety risks for residents. 

Load restrictions on Town roads

Every spring, between March 1 and May 15, there is a load restriction to five tonnes per axle on Town roads. The reason for the load restriction is that with the warmer weather, the roads become soft, and vehicles travelling with loads larger than the limit could potentially cause damage.

Community and health resources available

Do you need help connecting with community and health resources? Programs and services are available to help residents facilitate their healthcare needs.
