Please be advised that Dundas Street has been shut down in both directions between Fourth & Second Streets while a water main is repaired.
This closure could possibly last until 9 pm tonight
We apologize for any inconvenience.
The Lennox and Addington (L&A) County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind parents/guardians and children that Halloween can be a time of both excitement and potential danger. Help keep everyone safe by following these safety tips:
Always have your treats checked by an adult before eating them;
Carry a flashlight and select a costume with bright colours and reflective material to increase visibility to drivers;
Use makeup instead of masks. Masks can reduce one’s ability to see obstacles, vehicles and other people;
Avoid baggy, long and oversized costumes that can be a tripping hazard;
Walk, don’t run and remember to stop, look and listen before crossing the street;
Never criss-cross the street. Cross at crosswalks or intersections. Call on one side of the street, then the other;
Never trick or treat alone, go in a group or with an adult;
If trick or treating with friends tell your parents/guardians your route and when you will be home;
Stay in familiar neighbourhoods and only go to homes that are well lit and that are participating in Halloween;
Never go inside a house to get your treat.
Motorists are reminded to drive with caution and be on the lookout for trick or treaters throughout the afternoon and evening.
Following the above safety tips and using common sense will allow you to have a safe and fun Halloween!

The Public Works Department will be performing a fall curbside clean-up of leaves starting Monday, November 15th, 2021 until Thursday, November 18th, 2021.
All leaves must be RAKED TO THE CURB (NOT IN BAGS) no later than Sunday, November 14, 2021, as the Town staff will only be collecting in each area once.
This is for LEAVES ONLY; no other materials will be picked up at this time.
Please be patient with Town staff as the collection process may take longer than expected due to physical distancing. Please do not approach Town staff during collection.
Thank you for your understanding. We hope to possibly have a large item drop off in the fall if conditions improve.
