Our deepest condolences go out to the entire @IslandEMS family on the tragic loss of two paramedics yesterday and the patient they were caring for. You are in our thoughts.

Be careful if you are out tonight. Heavy freezing rain is creating treacherous conditions in our region. Ice accumulation also increases the risk for power outages. Stay safe.

[Mark Robinson @StormhunterTWN]

That was one of my more terrifying drives as the 401 is slowly freezing up. Be very very careful if you’re driving anywhere in the freezing rain zone tonight. @weathernetwork #ONStorm

Measles cases in Ontario have passed 900 so far in 2025, far exceeding the annual totals recorded over the past decade.

The measles vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection, widely available at no cost, and backed by decades of safety data.

With the colder weather upon us now is a good time to get your wood burning appliance inspected and cleaned before the burning season. Chimney fires are one of the leading causes of fire in our municipality. Make sure your safe and ready.
