Significant Snowfall - Thursday, December 12

As significant snow continues to fall on Algonquin Highlands, our dedicated Public Works crew is working its hardest to keep local roads plowed. The volume of snow may impact Township operations somewhat, including at waste disposal sites. Please note that sidewalks and walkways may also be slippery at times. If possible, residents are encouraged to stay home until the weather improves.

Winter Sand Available

Please note that winter sand has been stockpiled for resident use in Stanhope and Dorset. In Stanhope, sand is located outside the Stanhope Firefighters' Community Hall at 1095 North Shore Road and in Dorset outside the public works garage at 1051 Main Street. Residents are asked to limit themselves to one pail per person, and to please avoid visiting the Public Works yard in order to obtain sand.
