Road Closures

Bike Valet
Tired of driving around trying to find parking before a major community event? This year we are bringing something new to encourage active transportation, a bike valet! You can ride your bike right down to the event zone and park it at the bike valet free of charge. Your bike will be safely monitored by volunteers while you enjoy the event and you can pick it up when you're finished.
The Bike Valet will be located on the corner of Clark Ave and McRae Street. It will be open from 11:00am to 4:00pm and any bikes left at the valet after 4:00pm will be left unattended, and can be picked up by their owners at anytime.
Waste Stations
At events throughout the summer, the Town's Conservation Educators setup Waste Stations throughout the event zone to help sort the waste produced throughout the day. This assures we can divert as much waste as possible away from the landfill!
