In response to a major freezing rain event in the area, The Township of Minden Hills, The Township of Algonquin Highlands, The Municipality of Highlands East, The Municipality of Dysart et al, and the The County of Haliburton have all declared a Significant Weather Event today at 3:00 p.m.
Officials say it will impact travel and services throughout the County and may change how or when the Municipalities or County perform their maintenance operations and may increase the amount of time to bring the roads back to a state of repair.
County and Municipal Staff are advising residents to avoid driving, and if you must travel, please use extreme caution as the County and local Municipalities may not be able to meet their maintenance standards for roads due to ice accumulation.
