Middlesex Centre – Municipal Minute
Winter Wonders in Middlesex Centre Winter in Middlesex Centre brings plenty of opportunities for fun and fitness—along with a few reminders to keep everyone safe during the snowy season. Keeping Roads and Sidewalks Clear Our 24/7 roads crew maintains more than 600 km of roads and 35 km of sidewalks throughout the winter. Priority roads are cleared within 12 hours after a snowfall ends, all municipal roads within 24 hours, and sidewalks within 48 hours of a snow-packed condition. You can help our crew keep the roads clear this winter by avoiding street parking during and after snowfalls, keeping waste bins clear of plow routes, and never placing snow from your driveway onto the street. If possible, clear the snow around fire hydrants to ensure emergency access. Reminder – No parking is allowed on municipal roads from 2:00 am to 7:00 am from Labour Day to Victoria Day. Stay Active This Winter with Rec Programs Registration for Middlesex Centre’s winter recreation and fit- ness programs opens December 4. Choose from a variety of activities, including fitness classes, pickleball, Pilates, art, and social programs, suitable for all ages at community centres in Bryanston, Coldstream, Delaware, Ilderton, and Komoka.

Playground equipment is available throughout the winter, but should not be used when wet or icy. If you are looking for a place to walk, note that the paved section of the Ilderton Rail Trail will be cleared after the roads and sidewalks. Walking trails in Komoka Park are not maintained during the winter. And while you are out enjoying the season, remember that dogs must remain leashed unless in designated off-leash areas, and owners must clean up after their pets!
