With more than two feet of snow in a week, the Town of Georgina continues its clean up of municipal roads and sidewalks. The Town’s significant weather and winter maintenance events remain in effect. Similar to other Ontario municipalities, Georgina continues to face challenges due to high winds, extreme cold temperatures, equipment and operator fatigue, and limited space to store snow. According to the Baldwin Environment Canada Weather Station, more than 69 centimetres (27 inches) of snow has fallen since Feb 12.

Check the mailbox. Starting the week of Feb. 24, 2025, Georgina households will be receiving an invitation in the mail to complete a citizen satisfaction survey. It asks residents about everything from recreation programs and road maintenance to building permits and the care and upkeep of public spaces.

There may be a lot of snow on the ground, however, progress is being made on many Town projects to start in the spring. These projects, part of Building Georgina, include High Street Infrastructure and Streetscaping Improvements, Lake Drive Improvements – Phase 1, 2025 Road Repairs program, and Replacement of the Old Shiloh Road Bridge.

What a snow show Georgina! 

The Town is declaring a Significant Weather Event and a Winter Maintenance Event, effective today, Feb. 15, 2025, at 4 p.m. Parked vehicles must be removed from all Town roads until further notice.

As per the Ontario Municipal Act, a municipality may declare a significant weather event when a weather hazard, either forecast or occurring, has the potential to pose a significant danger to users of the roadways in which they have authority. This declaration suspends the standard timelines required for municipalities to meet their winter maintenance objectives. 

The Town’s winter maintenance event will be lifted, effective 2:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 14, 2025. The significant weather event is also ended. 

Residents should be advised that crews will continue to work on cleaning up sidewalks throughout Town this evening and tomorrow morning. 

Thank you to all residents for their cooperation and patience.
