The Town has lowered its flags to honour former Fire Chief Bill O’Neill who recently passed away. Chief O’Neill joined the Georgina Fire Department on Oct. 1, 1980, and was hired as a career firefighter on March 30, 1987. He was promoted to the position of Fire Prevention Officer in 1990 and became Deputy Fire Chief in 1998. 

On Sept. 1, 2001, he was appointed the Fire Chief of Georgina Fire until his retirement on Dec. 31, 2012. Chief O’Neill served the community with pride and dedication for more than 32 years. 

The Council of the Town of Georgina invites people to volunteer in their community as a member of the following committees. The appointment is for the remainder of the 2022-2026 Term of Council. Current Town board and committee members are encouraged to apply.

The Town has declared a winter maintenance event effective 3 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024.

Parked vehicles must be removed from all Town roads to allow crews to clear the snow until further notice. 

Please drive according to weather conditions and remember to leave room around snowplows. Be sure to check the Town's online winter operations tracker. It allows you to see where the snowplows and sidewalk plows are during snow clearing.

The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Advisory for Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024. Forecast snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm, with snow changing to rain this evening.  Rainfall amounts of 10 to 15 mm.  Given that local soil conditions are partially frozen, the snowmelt runoff combined with the rainfall may result in elevated water levels in rivers and streams within our jurisdiction. 

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off 2024 than with some fun events and activities in the Town of Georgina.
