Road Conditions/Closures and Core Services – February 18, 2025

While the municipal office and other facilities remain closed today, public works’ staff are busy with snow removal operations.  Road conditions vary depending on the winds and the amount of snow accumulation in each area.  The Town has closed the following roads due to visibility concerns and/or drifting conditions:

• Lakeshore Boulevard North from Main St to Sauble Falls Rd
• Sauble Falls Road from Lakeshore Blvd N to the end of Grove’s Point
• Northacres Rd from Bruce Road 13 to Meadowland Rd
• Bay St from South Oliphant Rd to Oliphant Way
• Shoreline Ave from Oliphant Way to Spry Lake Rd
• Shoreline Ave from Spry Lake Rd north to the end

These closures can be found at https://www.municipal511.ca/; staff will continue to update the Municipal 511 website as additional information becomes available. Staff will provide regular updates to subscribers through the Town's website but wish to remind residents that the live updates for municipally owned roads are provided through the Municipal 511 website.  This website is an excellent resource and includes a great visual map of the road closures.  Bruce County Transportation also utilizes the website to post their road closures as well.

Curbside garbage collection has been cancelled for both Monday and Tuesday collection this week. Please bring your garbage in from the curb so it does not get damaged or buried by snow removal operations.  Please hold onto your garbage and place it out for collection next week; you will be permitted to place two untagged bags at the curb on your next regularly scheduled collection.

The Town reminds residents that the Significant Weather Event that was declared on Sunday, February 16, 2025 remains in place.  The declaration is to notify the public that due to the current or forecasted conditions, caution is to be observed when travelling on Town roads and sidewalks and that it may take longer than usual to bring the condition of the roads and sidewalks back to a state of repair. 

For your safety, please continue to delay any travel plans to allow snow removal crews to complete their work. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to clear the roadways. Stay safe!
