Effective April 1, 2026, the old garbage dump is officially closed to all traffic.

Cameras will be in place — please respect the closure and

do not engage in illegal dumping.

Let’s all do our part to Be Stewards of the Land —

honoring and protecting it for future generations.

This site, identified as a contaminated area, will be reclaimed this summer through efforts supported by Indigenous Services Canada.

As reclamation plans are finalized, updates will be shared with the community.

Upcoming Water Interruption Notice

March 21, 2026

Water Service Interruption – March 21, 2026

Please be advised that the centralized water system will experience intermittent service interruptions and periods of full shutdown on Saturday, March 21, 2026, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. This outage is required to complete water main maintenance and system upgrades.

The contractor will work as efficiently as possible to minimize disruption and restore normal service promptly.

Due to the temporary loss of system pressure during this work, a precautionary Boil Water Advisory will be in effect for several days following the upgrades. Residents will be notified once the advisory is lifted and water quality is confirmed safe.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation during this essential maintenance.

1. Instructions during the Boil Water Advisory

  • Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, brushing teeth, cooking, or washing food.
  • Use boiled or bottled water for pets.
  • Bathing and laundering are typically safe without boiling.

2. What residents should do prior to shut down:

  • Store some water in containers for use during the outage.
  • Avoid running taps during the maintenance window.
