Happy New Year! 🎉

Show us your hygge! 📸❤️🔥

Today's forecast is serving peak winter energy.
With all the snow & wind, it’s crucial to keep all exterior vents — furnace, dryer, & gas appliance vents — fully cleared of snow & ice. Blocked vents can cause dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, so take a moment to check them. ⚠️
HIGHWAY CLOSURE: Highway 23 is closed from Mitchell to Palmerston due to poor visibility and deteriorating road conditions. OPP is advising the public to stay home unless absolutely necessary. If travel is necessary, drive carefully and plan alternate routes.

When your alarm sounds —do you know what it’s saying?
4 quick beeps typically means CO is detected. Get outside and call 911.
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific alarm model. The sound patterns and meanings may differ slightly.
