Remembering the Past, Planning for the Future

This year, we’re celebrating 51 years of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) — a cornerstone of public safety across the province. Since 1975, the OBC has helped shape how buildings are designed, built, and inspected, making our communities safer, stronger, and smarter. Join us all month long as we recognize the people, progress, and purpose behind building safety in Ontario. 🔗 https://www.oboa.on.ca/buildingsafetymonth2026

Issued: April 23, 2026 Road Maintenance and Spring Grading Now that temperatures have risen above the freezing mark, the Roads Department has begun spring grading on our gravel road network. Please be advised that it will take a couple of rounds of grading to effectively make the roads smoother following the spring thaw. We ask for patience with our roads crews as they work to service Armour Roads. Flooding and Washout Response (April 2026) Following the recent heavy rains and spring freshet, our roads crews have been working long hours to address significant flooding, washouts, and sinkholes throughout the Township. Many areas have been impacted, and the crews are focusing on repairing and reopening affected roads. Patience Requested: Our team is working diligently to repair damaged road shoulders and infrastructure, but many repairs are extensive. Safety Notice: The grader is a large, slow-moving piece of heavy equipment. Please slow down and yield the right of way when you come upon the grader. Driving Conditions: Continue to use caution, especially on gravel and low-lying roads. Do not drive through standing or moving water, and obey all posted road closure signs and barricades. Report Issues If you are aware of a dangerous washout or significant road damage that hasn't been marked, please contact the municipal office at (705) 382-3332. Thank you for your consideration, patience, and cooperation in keeping our roads safe. Dave Creasor A.Sc.t, CRS Road Supervisor P.O.
