South Huron declares Significant Weather Event on December 5, 2024

Drifting snow and reduced visibility are severely hampering the ability of road crews to respond according to standard timelines for winter maintenance activities.

Therefore, South Huron is putting the Significant Weather Event declaration back into effect as of 11:30am on December 5, 2024.

This declaration suspends the standard timelines required for municipalities to meet their winter maintenance objectives until the municipality declares the significant weather event has ended. Once a significant weather event has ended, standard timelines for winter maintenance activities will begin again.

The intent of a declaration is to notify the public that, due to the current weather conditions, caution is to be exercised when travelling on municipal streets and sidewalks. Staff continue to perform winter maintenance activities though it may take longer than usual to restore roads and sidewalks to the normal condition.
