March is SOCIAL WORKERS MONTH! We get to take this month to recognize and celebrate our social workers who create lasting change within the communities of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Often unseen, the work that our social workers do in these communities is crucial to overall health and wellness and with this being the 100th anniversary (CASW), we celebrate and are grateful for the organized social work in Canada!

This year's Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) theme is "Reflecting on our Past, Reimagining our Future".

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Theme is: "Social Workers: Uplift. Defend. Transform."

Social workers address systemic injustices and also promote social justice and human dignity. This month, let's take time to say "THANK YOU!" to a social worker in our community as, together, we also focus on how our social workers advocate for the mental health of our province's population.

If you are a social worker, this month, we want to celebrate YOU!

Today is World Hearing Day.

Did you know? More than 95 million children and teenagers live with hearing loss. Many don’t get health services to remedy this.

Spot the possible signs of hearing loss in children:

⁉️ Frequently asking you to repeat
📖 Struggling with attention or keeping up at school
👂 Complaining of ear pain or ear discharge
🗣️ Showing delayed speech and language development

Early checkups and simple treatments can make a big difference. Don’t wait! Take your child for a hearing test.

❄️Storm Update - Closure of City Facilities and Request to Limit Travel

The City of St. John's continues to address road conditions following significant snowfall over the past five days and ongoing poor weather. City crews need the time and space to carry out cleanup efforts safely and efficiently. The City has been working closely with neighbouring municipalities, the Provincial Government, Memorial University and the College of the North Atlantic to coordinate operational decisions that help reduce traffic volumes across the region and support snow clearing efforts.

To support cleanup efforts and keep everyone safe, please note the following:

🏛️ Facility Closures - Feb 23: All facilities, including City Hall and recreation facilities, will be closed for the day on Monday, February 23. Employees will work from home where possible.

⛔ Limit Travel: Residents are strongly encouraged to stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary. If travel cannot be avoided, drivers are asked to use extreme caution and allow extra time to reach their destination.

🚗 Weather-Related Parking Ban: The weather-related parking ban remains in effect. All on-street parking is banned on any streets outside the downtown area until further notice. Vehicles parked on the street may be ticketed or towed.

🗑️ Waste Collection Cancellation - Feb 23: Curbside waste collection is cancelled on Monday, February 23, 2026. A further update will be provided on the updated collection schedule.

At this time, the City is not declaring a State of Emergency. While road conditions remain challenging, we feel the above measures will provide the conditions needed to support efficient snow clearing operations. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will take additional measures if necessary.

Updates will be provided as information becomes available. The City appreciates residents’ cooperation and patience during this time.
