UPDATE:
East Ferris has removed the Declaration as of 7:00 a.m. Thursday, March 12th, 2026.

In response to an expected precipitation of freezing rain and ice pellets causing ice accretion or build-up of up to 4 mm with local blowing snow in the area, the Municipality of East Ferris has declared a Significant Weather Event at 3:00 p.m. local time. This weather event will likely impact travel and services throughout the Municipality. This declaration is made pursuant to Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways.

The declaration may change how or when the Municipality performs their maintenance operations and may increase the amount of time to bring the roads back to a state of repair. Municipal Staff are advising residents to avoid driving, and if you must travel, please use extreme caution as the Roads Department may not be able to meet their maintenance standards for roads due to ice accretion.
