Effective immediately, the Huron County Fire Chiefs have Declared an open air fire ban in Huron County. There will be no open-air burning permitted in Huron County until further notice.

Based on the current precipitation forecast and watershed conditions, major flooding is not expected. Watercourses will respond quickly due to saturated soils and river levels that are already elevated from last week’s rain and snowmelt. Water levels are again likely to reach or exceed bankfull conditions resulting in ponding and minor flooding in typical low-lying areas.

“Investments like these from the Ontario Trillium Foundation are valuable because the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh now has the opportunity to work with local communities and residents to identify priorities as well as targeted goals and actions,” said Lisa Thompson, MPP for Huron-Bruce. “Supporting the development of a strategic plan to guide the municipality’s future developments is very important and I hope everyone appreciates the opportunity they have to engage and participate.”

R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited was retained by the Townships of Howick, North Huron and Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh to assess current landfill practices and to develop a recycling plan to accommodate the transition of recycling (Blue Box) from municipal collection and processing to Producer Responsibility. The transition is to proceed in accordance with the ‘Blue Box Regulation’ (O.Reg. 391/21) under the ‘Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016’.

During the summer months the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh and the Lucknow & District Recreation Department welcome 12 students for seasonal positions.

The combination of above-seasonal temperatures and light rain will result in a steady melt of the snowpack left from last week’s blizzard. Runoff generated from the snowmelt and rain will lead to saturated ground conditions and elevate water levels in rivers and streams throughout the watershed.
