Summer is over . . . Yes, unfortunately summer is coming to a close.
The cool winds and turning leaves are here to stay. This also means
camping season is coming to an end and RV trailers will be going
into storage. By the October long weekend, Oct. 11, as per the town’s,
“Traffic Control and Dangerous Goods” bylaw, all RV trailers need to be
removed from the public roadways or be attached to a motor vehicle. As
a town we understand this time of year can be busy and we are here to
work with everyone.
We want to thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
