Feb. 22, 2023 - Significant Weather Event

The Town of Saugeen Shores is declaring a Significant Weather Event because of unsafe weather conditions, effective at 8:00 pm this evening, February 22, 2023, and continues until further notice.

Pursuant to O. Reg. 239/02 of the Municipal Act as amended, we are notifying the public that due to the current or forecasted conditions, residents should use caution when travelling on Municipal roads and sidewalks. This also means the Town may also need longer than usual to bring the road conditions back to a state of repair.

The Town advises residents to avoid unnecessary travel on the municipality’s roads and sidewalks.  If the residents must use these routes, they should use caution.

The Town will update the public when the significant weather event has ended, through the www.saugeenshores.ca website, social media and through a news release to local media.
