Fire and emergency services need quick access to water and it's vital to keep hydrants clear all year round. If you have a fire hydrant on your property that has been obstructed by the recent snowstorm, please clear it as soon as possible. We will all be safer if firefighters can easily see the hydrant. If you need help clearing snow from your fire hydrant, call 905-791-7800.
In addition, to keep the hydrant clear year-round, please do not park within 3 meters from it and keep 1 meter between the hydrant and other items on your property such as trees and shrubs.

Luckily the recent drop in temperature gave the volunteers an opportunity to bounce back! The rink is still not quite ready. Thanks for your patience and for continuing to stay off the ice. Also, the walkways around the rink are slippery, so please be careful!

The association agreed to purchase a liner, ao we are hoping to have better success than last year!
