Township of Tiny declares a Significant Weather Event on March 28, 2025

(Tiny, Ontario) The Township of Tiny has declared a Significant Weather Event on March 28, 2025, based on Environment Canada’s forecast for significant freezing rain that may change into rainfall later in the weekend. 

This weekend’s forecast is likely to result in reduced visibility, slippery conditions, and may lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas by Sunday. The freezing rain and rainfall will make travel difficult and isolated power outages are possible. 

The Township of Tiny is advising drivers and residents to be cautious and drive to the conditions of the road. Residents can help out by ensuring they:

• do not park on any roadways/sidewalks to allow snow clearing vehicles to do their work;
• clear catch basins adjacent to their property; and
• keep roadways clear (place garbage/bins on your driveway apron) during scheduled waste collection.
