A significant winter storm is forcast for our areas of operation. Highway conditions are deteriorating and afternoon buses have been cancelled at the local schools. ❄️

Our fire 🚒 and ambulance 🚑 services are continuing to respond to emergencies and care for patients, but travel conditions are very challenging, and response times may be affected due to safety concerns on the roads.

If you don't need to be out, please stay home and stay off the roads. Reducing non-essential travel helps keep you safe and allows emergency services to reach those who truly need help.

Enjoy the warmth of family and home!
We appreciate the cooperation and support from our community as they do everything they can to be safe and wand healthy this winter season.
