Haldimand County declares Significant Weather Event effective 4 p.m. January 27

7:30 p.m. Update:

Snow clearing efforts continue along the lakeshore. Crews are making progress on main roads and will be working through the night to maintain access, however, residents should continue to avoid all travel in the area so plows can work unobstructed. Residents who live in the impacted area should plan accordingly for a longer commute tomorrow and use their best judgement before using the roads. 

Crews will continue to monitor conditions and work to re-open the roads. The Significant Weather Event declaration and road closures will remain in effect until further notice.
