Seasonal Reminder: Do Not Push Snow Across Roadways

TO ALL KERNS TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS

During the current winter season, please be advised that the Highway Traffic Act, Chap. H.8. 181 cites the following:

«No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing so to do from the Ministry or the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road. R.S.O. 1980, c. 198, s. 157.»

Putting snow or ice on the roadways (including pushing snow across the road) could be very dangerous for anyone traveling on our township roads, therefore, it extremely important that the above law be respected. If you have any questions, please call the township garage at 705-647-6322.  We wish to thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
