Stormwater Ponds
Stormwater management ponds are NOT to be used as skating rinks.

These ponds 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.

Cat ownership
Did you know? Cats that live or spend time outdoors are susceptible to disease and the dangers of predators, traffic and extreme weather.

In 2020, there were 128 reports of lost cats in Georgina. Keeping your cat inside or on your property is in the best interest of your furry friend.
