Extreme Weather Alerts

This notice is to advise of the following temporary road updates due to seasonal flooding.

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has issued a Flood Outlook bulletin for Bracebridge-Minden-Parry Sound District in effect until March 21. Runoff to local lakes and rivers is anticipated to increase significantly. As a result, water levels and river flows are expected to rise with increased runoff.

This winter, Bracebridge received a significant amount of snow, and with consistently cold temperatures, it accumulated with very little opportunity to melt or minimize. As temperatures begin to change, and spring is in sight, the Town of Bracebridge is preparing for the onset of the spring freshet season and reminds property owners to take the necessary steps to ensure proper drainage, protect their property, and ensure personal safety.
