Warming Centre Activated February 16

After reviewing weather reports that the City subscribes to, and observing the weather warning issues by Environment Canada, the City of Belleville is declaring a significant weather event in the municipality, as defined within the Minimum Maintenance Standards Regulation Ont 239/02.

During the significant weather event, the City of Belleville is advising motorists and residents to use extra caution as the municipality may not be able to meet its maintenance standards for roads, bike lanes and sidewalks due to the heavy snowfall expected.  The declaration will not change how or when the municipality performs its winter maintenance operations. However, it may take the municipality longer than usual to bring the roads back to a state of repair.  Public safety is the municipality’s top priority.  The City of Belleville will provide updates when the significant weather event has ended.

Contact Public Works at 613-967-3275 if you have any issues or concerns during this significant weather event.
