July 2024 storm damage update

The town continues to address the storm damage to town parks, trails, roads, ditches and culverts. Please note the following service impacts caused by the recent storm.

Parks

Lions Valley Park re-opened on July 26. The playground re-opened on August 27.

Trails

• Many trails have experienced erosion and the public is advised to exercise extreme caution if using them. 
• Staff are currently inspecting trail conditions, which will take several days to complete.

Be safe: Water levels are high

• Elevated water levels, fast flowing water, and slippery conditions along stream banks continue to make these locations extremely dangerous. Please alert children in your care of these imminent dangers. Visit the Conservation Halton website to read their watershed statement. 
• Residents are advised to keep a safe distance from all watercourses, Lake Ontario shoreline areas, and structures such as piers, bridges, culverts, breakwalls, and dams.

Thank you for patience while we continue to assess the situation.
