Kingsville opens warming centre, issues parking ban

The Town of Kingsville has declared a significant weather event with heavy snow, strong winds, and dropping temperatures expected to continue.

The power is currently out in the downtown area of Kingsville.

As of noon Friday, all municipal buildings have been closed except for the arena. The arena will stay open as a warming station for any residents who are cold and without power. However, everyone is encouraged to stay off the roads if at all possible.

Due to the weather event the town advises maintaining roads and sidewalks may take longer than normal.

An on-street parking ban is now effect to help with snow removal operations. Parking on residential streets during a ban carries a $35.00 fine (By-Law 63-2022).

All municipal parking lots are free to use during the parking ban.
