Declaration of Significant Weather Event

As per Regulation 239/02 of the Municipal Act 2001, due to significant ice rain as of 4pm Wednesday April 5th, 2023, Lanark County has declared a significant weather event. This declaration suspends the standard timelines required for Lanark County 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 County will post when the municipality has declared the event has ended. Please stay off the roads and stay away from downed powerlines.
