Loyalist Township Declares a Significant Weather Event

After reviewing weather reports that Loyalist Township subscribes to, and observing the weather warnings issued by Environment Canada, Loyalist Township, in conjunction with the County of Lennox and Addington, is declaring a significant weather event in the municipality, as defined within the Minimum Maintenance Standards O.Reg. 239/02.  

During the significant weather event, Loyalist Township advises motorists, pedestrians and residents to use extra caution as the municipality may not be able to meet its maintenance standards for roads, pathways, and sidewalks due to the potential of freezing rain and high winds followed by snow.  The declaration will not change how or when the municipality performs its winter maintenance operations. However, it may take the municipality longer than usual to bring the roads and sidewalks back to a state of repair.  Public safety is the municipality’s top priority.  Loyalist Township will update the public with information during this significant weather event via the following outlets:
