Sunday, December 28, 2025
In response to a major freezing rain event in the area, The County of Haliburton, The Township of Minden Hills, The Township of Algonquin Highlands and The Municipality of Dysart et al have declared a Significant Weather Event at 12:00 pm local time that will impact travel and services throughout the County. This declaration is made pursuant to Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways.
The declaration may change how or when the County or Municipalities 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 accretion.
Further updates will be made as needed.
