Service Disruption

Dorset area residents will notice a significant amount of cyclist traffic this weekend as the Huntsville-based Spin the Lakes Cycle Tour takes place on Saturday, May 25. A fundraiser for the Canadian Mental Health Association, hundreds of cyclists are registered to take part in this event, which features four routes, one of which passes directly through the hamlet of Dorset.

Please take note there will be a disruption to water services at the Algonquin Highlands municipal complex along North Shore Road and the Dorset Recreation Centre next weekend, between Friday, May 10 and Monday, May 13.

Please note that members of Algonquin Highlands Fire Services from Station 80 will be taking part in a training exercise on the runway at Stanhope Municipal Airport on the evening of Monday, April 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. The runway will be unavailable during this time and a NOTAM is being issued to aviators. 

Please note the Algonquin Highlands Administrative Office at 1123 North Shore Road will be closed on Friday, March 29 (Good Friday) and Monday, April 1 (Easter Monday). The office will re-open to the public at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 2. The Algonquin Highlands Trails Office at 20130 Highway 35 North will also be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday. 

Please note that Highway 35 south of Dwight has been repaired and re-opened to traffic following Monday's washout.

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.
