Waste calendar and Christmas tree pickup

Did you receive your copy of the 2023 Waste and Recycling calendar? You can view and download a copy online at georgina.ca/WasteandRecycling. Christmas tree pickup will be held the week of Jan. 9, 2023. Residents are asked to remove all decorations, nails, tree stands and plastic tree bags. The maximum size is six feet or 1.8 metres. If your tree is larger, cut it into pieces. 

Pefferlaw Ice Pad (PIP)

Time to lace up the skates! The Pefferlaw Ice Pad (PIP) is open. The PIP is an unsupervised ice pad, use at your own risk. We ask all users to be respectful of one another. Before you visit, be sure to review the rules of etiquette of play and follow the daily schedule. 

Winter operations

Despite the current mild temperatures, we know that winter will be returning. The Town is committed to providing a consistent level of snow removal service throughout the winter season. Using a combination of Town staff and contractors, plowing, sanding and salting is performed each winter with consideration to safety, environmental and budgetary concerns. The Town's new online winter operations tracker is live. It allows residents to see where the snowplows are during snow clearing. 

Winter parking restrictions

Winter is here and that means we need to keep the roads and sidewalks clear. Winter parking restrictions are now in effect until April 15, meaning no parking between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Stormwater ponds

With colder temperatures, a reminder that stormwater ponds will freeze and they are not to be used as skating rinks. They are not intended or designed for recreational use as water levels can change rapidly and create unsafe conditions. This is extremely dangerous and poses many safety risks for residents.

The Town of Georgina is holding virtual Council meetings. These meetings will be broadcast as usual through the Town’s live streaming tool.

Jan. 11 – 9 a.m.

Jan. 18 – 7 p.m. Public Planning meeting
