Please note that Highway 35 is closed in both directions between Birkendale and Seabreeze Roads just south of Dwight due to a March 11 washout.

Please note the section of 25th Line Road that was closed earlier this week due to unsafe conditions has been re-opened to traffic after the necessary repairs were made. Thanks to residents for their patience. 

Please note that due to the rapid thaw, a section of 25th Line Road between civic address numbers 1225 and 1288 has become unsafe for public travel. The AH Public Works Department has closed this section of road to vehicles, and will be making the necessary repairs as soon as possible once the required materials are obtained. The Township will send a subsequent notification once this section of road has been re-opened.

The Township has closed its cross-country ski trails at the former Frost Centre following last night's storm. The trails are currently littered with debris, including fallen trees, and rain has diminished the trail bed, creating extremely icy conditions. There are also washouts in many places. 

Please note the Township of Algonquin Highlands Administrative Office at 1123 North Shore Road will be closed on Monday, February 19 for Family Day. The office will re-open to the public at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, February 20. 

Due to ongoing construction and plumbing work at the Dorset Recreation Centre, the public water refill station located beside the centre may be intermittently unavailable to the public.
