Speeding In Town 

There have been complaints with concerns about speeding in town. The speed limit is 30 kms/hr on town roads. Please slow down the days and evenings are getting longer, kids are out playing and more people are walking. How would you feel if you cause serious injuries to someone because of speeding that could have been prevented?

Water Cut Off 

This is a final reminder to residents who are in arrears for Municipal Taxes. Your water will be cut Friday May 8, 2015. It is not fair for residents who do not pay their taxes to get the same service as those that do pay.

If anyone with a disability wants to fill out a kit with their personal information, the information will be kept on file at the Town Office in the Fire Department filing cabinet in case of an emergency.
