Please be advised that interest will not be added on April 1st if your taxes have not been paid by the due date. Once Council is able to meet and change the by-law we will let our residents know when taxes should be paid to avoid interest.
Curbside Collection: Out of concern for their employees and families, our curbside collection contractor has advised that effective immediately all solid waste placed out for cubside collection must be securely tied in plastic bags. No loose material will be collected at this time. Also, they will not be sorting through recycling, it will be left at the curb if it isn't sorted properly or is contaminated. Thank you for your support and cooperation during this concerning time.
County Wide Burn Ban
ALL municipalities within the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville have implemented a TOTAL OPEN-AIR BURN BAN as of Wednesday March 25th at 11:59pm until further notice.
The ban applies to all open-air fires including agricultural burns, brush piles, burn barrels, campfires, chimeneas, cooking fires, consumer fireworks, incinerators and other types of outdoor burning, but does not include cooking appliances with a mechanical shutoff, i.e. propane or natural gas cooking equipment.
Due to the concerns surrounding the spread of COVID-19, the need for social distancing and to assist in the health, safety and well-being of our firefighters we placed an open-air burn ban as a precautionary measure to avoid any additional strain on our fire services at this time.
We are committed to providing and maintaining emergency response within our communities and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we cope with this uncertain and unprecedented situation.
