Declaration of a Significant Weather Event

Friday, March 28, 2025

The Township of North Kawartha has made the decision to declare a Significant Weather Event, as per Ontario Regulation 239/02, "Minimum Maintenance Standards". 

Environment Canada has issued a Freezing Rain warning with ice accretion in excess of 25mm possible. Freezing Rain is projected to start this evening, March 28, 2025, and continue through Monday, March 31, 2025.

A significant weather event is defined as an approaching or occurring weather hazard with the potential to pose significant danger to the users of the Township road network. 

The Township of North Kawartha wants to be clear to our residents that a declaration of a significant weather event only addresses the timelines and does not reduce the level of service provided by our Roads Department. The declarations primary objective is to notify the residents of North Kawartha, that due to the current forecasted conditions, caution needs to be exercised when travelling on Township Maintained roads and drive accordingly based on road conditions until the roads have been properly serviced by the sanders.
