2020 Dog Tag Fees:

• $20.00 on or before June 30

Huron Church Road will have a brief series of intermittent closures, up to 10 minutes each in duration between Malden Road and Industrial Drive on Saturday, May 2 from 7am to 7pm Weather permitting.

During these short closures, traffic in the construction zone will be stopped in both directions by flag persons. This will allow a crane to remove the overhead sign structure at Pool Avenue.

All efforts will be made to minimize the duration of the closures, but some delays can be expected.

Quinte Trash Bash Postponed Until Further Notice

On Behalf of the Quinte Trash Bash Planning Committee

BELLEVILLE – Due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, the Quinte Trash Bash planning committee has decided to postpone the annual event until further notice to help ensure the safety of residents and volunteers.

Held each spring for the last 20 years, the Quinte Trash Bash brings people together to clean up roadsides, parks and sidewalks in Belleville, Prince Edward County, Quinte West and Tyendinaga Township. Participation is strong every year with thousands of residents, schools, businesses and groups volunteering their time to clean up the region.

Litter is especially visible this time of year and a number of residents are collecting garbage along trails and sidewalks when out for a walk. This is a great way to stay active but please follow these precautions: wear gloves, use a garbage picker if you have one, practice physical distancing of at least two metres apart from others and wash your hands with soap and water as soon as you get home.

For updates on this event, please visit our official website at www.quintetrashbash.ca.

The suspension of recreational (campfire) permits will continue for Chatham-Kent.

The ban has been extended and remains in place as at this time, as none of the community safety controls put in place locally, provincially or federally have been lifted yet.

CKFES has been monitoring the situation and will continue await notification from provincial and federal levels of government for when community safety controls are to be amended. When this happens, the suspension will be reviewed.
