Significant Weather Event

The Town of Arnprior has declared a Significant Weather Event, effective immediately, that will impact travel and services throughout the municipality. This declaration is made pursuant to Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways.

The intent of this notification is to advise that, due to current or forecasted weather conditions, residents should exercise an abundance of caution when travelling on municipally maintained roads and sidewalks as the current weather conditions will result in Town staff taking longer than usual to bring municipal streets and sidewalks back to a state of repair.

A significant weather event is issued when the weather forecast, or actual weather condition(s) includes one or more of the following conditions:

Significant snow accumulation during a 24-hour period,
Ice formation that occurs with no warning from the weather forecast,
High winds leading to large snow drifts,
Cold temperature when de-icing operations will no longer be effective.

Residents are encouraged to monitor local weather conditions and follow updates provided by the Town of Arnprior posted on the Town’s website and social media. The Town will issue a statement when the Significant Weather Event has ended.

Residents are asked to refrain from non-essential travel, ensure vehicles are not parked on the streets and continue to be patient as we work through this winter storm.

In line with this declaration, Town Hall will be closed at 11:00 am and will reopen at 8:30am on Tuesday January 18^th.
