Natural disasters and other emergencies can happen at any time without warning. Emergency Preparedness Week, May 4 to 10, encourages Canadians to take steps to be ready: Know the risks • Make a plan • Build your emergency kit • Stay informed. You can find resources to help you prepare for an emergency by visiting middlesexcentre.ca/emergency-prep. Outdoor Fires & Yard Waste It’s that time of year when we all want to get outdoors and prepare our yards for spring. Remember that while controlled recreational fires are permitted in urban areas of Middlesex Centre, burning yard waste is not. In rural areas, some yard materials may be burned with specific rules in place.
