The Township of Tiny has declared a Significant Weather Event on February 16, 2025, based on Environment Canada’s forecast for significant snowfall and potential blowing snow.

The rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult and isolated power outages are possible.

The Township of Tiny is advising drivers and residents to be cautious and drive to the conditions of the road. Residents can help out by ensuring they:

  • do not park on any roadways/sidewalks to allow snow clearing vehicles to do their work;
  • clear catch basins adjacent to their property; and
  • keep roadways clear (place garbage/bins on your driveway apron) during scheduled
    waste collection.

As a result of the snowfall, please note that Rink Monitors will not be available at township rinks during this time.

Significant Weather Event

Municipalities may declare a Significant Weather Event when a weather hazard, either forecasted or occurring, has the potential to pose a significant danger to users of the roadways in that municipality. Weather hazards include freezing rain, significant snowfall, strong winds, blowing snow, and reduced visibility.

This declaration is permitted under the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways under Ontario Regulation 239/02.

Notice will be provided when the Declaration of Significant Weather Event has been removed based on the township’s ability to achieve the requirements under MMS.
