Significant Weather Event
Innisfil, ON – The Town of Innisfil is declaring a Significant Weather Event in response to continued inclement weather resulting in significant snow. The declaration will remain in effect until further notice.
The forecast provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada warns drivers that travel is anticipated to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in blowing snow and snow squalls. Take extra caution and postpone non-essential travel until conditions improve. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for taillights ahead and be prepared to stop.
During a Significant Weather Event, Innisfil’s winter services do not change. However, residents can expect winter clearing activities to take longer to complete with a continued focus on primary roads followed by secondary routes. Declaring a Significant Weather Event as it relates to Ontario’s Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways suspends the standard timelines required for municipalities to meet their maintenance objectives.
