Fire and emergency services need quick access to water and it's vital to keep hydrants clear all year round. If you have a fire hydrant on your property that has been obstructed by the recent snowstorm, please clear it as soon as possible. We will all be safer if firefighters can easily see the hydrant. If you need help clearing snow from your fire hydrant, call 905-791-7800.
In addition, to keep the hydrant clear year-round, please do not park within 3 meters from it and keep 1 meter between the hydrant and other items on your property such as trees and shrubs.

Luckily the recent drop in temperature gave the volunteers an opportunity to bounce back! The rink is still not quite ready. Thanks for your patience and for continuing to stay off the ice. Also, the walkways around the rink are slippery, so please be careful!

Our ice rink is back this year, thanks to volunteers in the neighbourhood taking on the initiative to build and maintain it for our community. As many of you know anyone tasked with creating an ice rink, particularly one this size, are at the mercy of the weather and cooperation from our community. We have been informed by the Ice Rink Making Team, that recent flooding efforts were disrupted after it was walked all over early Saturday morning. This has resulted in a delay in having the rink ready for all the community to use and enjoy. Ice skating will be a welcome treat, especially with what we've endured these last several months!
