The winter storm has entered the region, and the situation is making traffic difficult on the roads and could cause power outages.
Municipal teams are monitoring the evolution of the situation closely and remain ready to intervene at any time.
The municipal emergency measures plan provides for a series of interventions if the storm gains in strength or extends. However, it is important to be prepared for any eventuality and to follow some preventive measures.
Staying Informed and prepared
Check Environment Canada's weather website and regional media frequently for real-time information. Keep a battery-powered or hand-cranked radio handy, as power outages often occur during storms.
The Municipality will update this news page as the situation progresses, as well as on the various platforms.
Prepare a 72-hour emergency kit for your home.
