Declaration of a Significant Weather Event

On March 28, 2025 the Township of North Kawartha made the decision to declare a Significant Weather Event, as per Ontario Regulation 239/02, "Minimum Maintenance Standards".

Environment Canada has issued another Freezing Rain warning Wednesday, April 2 evening through Thursday morning.

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.

Public Notice: Reduced Load Restrictions in Effect Starting March 10, 2025

Starting March 10, 2025, reduced load restrictions will be in effect for all Township of North Kawartha roads.

Reduced load restrictions are applied each spring during the thaw when the road network is most vulnerable to help prevent permanent damages to pavement and surface treated roads.

While in the reduced load restrictions are in place, vehicles are restricted to load limits of 5 tonnes per axle.

Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.
