The Town of Fort Frances Operations and Facilities Division has declared a Significant Weather Event for the town.
We got a little lulled into spring by all the sunshine and grass, so here’s a refresher on what this declaration means for residents:
- Residents are asked to limit their use of roadways and sidewalks within the Town of Fort Frances for the safety of the public.
- All on-street parking is prohibited between the hours of 7:30 pm and 7:30 am with the exception of the Downtown core.
- The public is asked to stay clear of work areas to allow Town crews to address accumulation on the roadways and sidewalks.
- Calendar parking is in effect – follow the signs posted.
- If possible, remove vehicles from roadways to aid in work efforts.
This declaration went into effect at 6 a.m. this morning, and will continue until staff have deemed it suitable to lift it.
The declaration is in effect to ensure the safety of the public and Town crews, and the timely removal of accumulated snow.
“The Operations and Facilities will continue to proactively manage this Significant Weather Event and will continue to do so to ensure the public, properties and critical infrastructure are all protected during this event,” the Town said in a release.
The town recommends that the public monitor 93.1 The Border for updates. Also,
residents can call the Operations and Facilities Division Office at 807-274-9893 with any
questions or concerns. This declaration is in accordance with Ontario Regulation 239/02
as amended.
