What is a Significant Weather Event?
A municipality can declare a Significant Weather Event when a weather hazard is approaching or occurring and has the potential to pose a significant danger to users of roads and sidewalks. This will allow Township operations additional time to address the significant weather event and remain in compliance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards regulation (Ontario Regulation 366/18 as amended).
