(Tiny, Ontario) On February 16, 2025, the Township of Tiny declared a Significant Weather Event based on Environment Canada’s forecast for significant snowfall and potential blowing snow throughout the weekend.
Blowing snow continues to make travel in some parts of Tiny difficult, and as a result, the Township of Tiny is advising motorists to avoid non-essential travel where possible.
The township will continue to monitor road conditions and advise of any updates, including road closures. Follow us on social media or sign up for Tiny Connect notifications to receive the latest information at www.tinyconnect.ca.
Reminder for drivers and residents to be cautious and drive to the conditions of the road. Residents can help out by ensuring they:
- do not park on any roadways/sidewalks to allow snow clearing vehicles to do their work;
- clear catch basins adjacent to their property; and
- keep roadways clear (place garbage/bins on your driveway apron) during scheduled waste collection.
