Effective immediately, the Village Solid Waste Facility (landfill) is an active construction site for the weigh scale project. For safety and traffic management:

• The Free Store is temporarily not accessible. Please do not drop off donations at this time. Hold items until access is restored.

• Expect lane shifts, equipment movement, and short delays at the site entrance.

• Follow the attendant’s directions and all posted signs. Reduced speeds and temporary traffic controls are in effect.

• Keep children and pets inside vehicles at all times. Give heavy equipment the right-of-way.

Regular landfill hours remain in effect unless otherwise posted. We’ll provide an update once access to the Free Store is restored.

Please be advised that Mt. Nansen Road will be periodically closed to traffic for scheduled rehabilitation work.

• Dates: September 15 – October 15, 2025

• Hours of Closure: 7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. daily (morning hours only)

• Location: At kilometres 20–22, 30–36, and 55

• Reason: Culvert rehabilitation, replacement, and road height increases

During these hours, no traffic will be permitted through the work area. A “Road Closed” sign will be placed at KM 0 each day the closure is in effect. The road will reopen outside of these stated hours unless otherwise posted.

We ask for your patience and cooperation while this important work is completed.
