Significant Weather Event – February 12th, 2025
Please be advised that due to significant snowfall and as per Regulation 239/02 of the Municipal Act 2001 (as amended), the Township of Beckwith will declare a significant weather event on Wednesday February 12th at approximately 10:00pm.
This declaration suspends the standard timelines required for the Township of Beckwith to meet their winter maintenance objectives until the municipality declares the significant weather event has ended. It may take longer than usual to bring the condition of the roads back to a state of repair. The Township will post when the municipality has declared the event has ended.
Due to the expected levels of snowfall throughout the upcoming weekend, it is likely that the significant weather event will extend into next week.
Please stay off the roads if at all possible and be cautious when near snow removal equipment.
For further information on the declaration of significant weather events, follow the below weblink to the Ontario Regulation 239/02
