Preparing for Winter Road Conditions |
As construction season comes to a close, Middlesex Centre public works staff are getting ready for the winter weather to come. This includes removing the traffic calming measures (speed humps and centre-line markers) that were installed over the summer.
No Overnight Parking – There is no parking on municipal roads between 2:00 and 7:00 a.m. from Labour Day to Victoria Day. The restriction on overnight parking applies at all times, even when there is no snow in the forecast.
Bring in Sports Nets & Check Mailboxes – Remember to bring in your basketball and hockey nets from the edge of the road and out of the way of snowplows. If you are on a rural road, check that your mailbox is securely attached and solidly in the ground.

Stay Safe From Carbon Monoxide |
Carbon monoxide (CO) is invisible, odourless, deadly gas. You can beat this silent killer by installing and testing CO alarms, checking that your outside furnace vents and chimney are not blocked, and having your fuel-burning appliances inspected regularly.
