Whitewater Region has announced a plan to re-open the municipal boat launches. The township says marinas are not able to open, but boat launches can. With Premier Doug Ford setting out the three stage plan to re-open Ontario, Whitewater Region says they will be reopening the Muskrat Boat Launches on Monday (May 4th), and boat launches on the Ottawa River will open May 11th. Town staff are installing dock systems to allow for the opening of the boat launches and physical distancing measures must be followed.
Leaf and yard waste and brush will also be accepted free of charge for residents in Beachburg and Westmeath on May 12th and for those in Cobden and Ross Township on May 14th. Residents are also reminded there is a provincial fire ban in effect and the fire department has responded to several calls.
