Important Information
Winter parking restrictions are in effect as of November 15th, 2024. Overnight parking is not permitted on any streets between 1:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. as per the Village’s Parking By-law.
This allows snowplow operators full access to streets throughout the Village in the early morning hours so that they can be cleared for the day when there has been snowfall.
Thank you for your cooperation as we head into another winter season & work hard at keeping our streets clear.
