With very high-water levels and more rain in the forecast, the Town of Georgina is providing sand at designated locations to help residents protect their properties. Residents can fill their own sandbags using the sand provided. The Town will also provide sandbags located in blue recycling totes at the sand locations.
Residents are welcome to fill their own sandbags or use the Town provided sandbags at the following locations:
- West Park Heights Cul de sac
- Stephen Leacock Theatre (northwest corner)
- The ROC (east parking lot)
- Pefferlaw Lions Hall (southeast parking lot)
Residents must bring their own shovels to fill sandbags.
Sandbags can be used to redirect water away from homes and buildings and reduce the impact of minor flooding in low‑lying areas. When placed correctly, sandbags can slow water flow and provide temporary protection during periods of high water.
The Town continues to monitor conditions and will provide updates as needed. Visit georgina.ca/flooding to learn about helpful flooding reminders and information on creating and the placement of sandbags.
