Bylaw 29-2014 Spring Cleaning of Lawns
On Monday April 20, 2026 Council passed the following resolution:
“RESOLVED THAT Council approve temporary relief from by-law 29-2014 to allow residents to deposit winter sand on the street.
CARRIED”
All lawn sweeping must be done by June 2, 2026 as the last round of sweeping will be starting that day.
What does this mean?
With respect to people raking and power-sweeping the winter sand and grit off their lawns and onto the road allowance, Council has directed Administration to use broad discretion when investigating any complaints and enforcement of this bylaw – as it relates to spring lawn care.
What can go on the road?
- Sand and gravel from winter road operations
Do not pile the sand.
Leave it spread out no more than two (2) feet from the edge of the road so that it can be picked up by the sweeper.
What should not be put on the road?
- Grass clippings,
- sticks, twigs and leaves;
- rocks, wood and other “yard waste.”
- Any other type of refuse, garbage or other similar material
Property Owners are responsible for clean-up of any lawn sweepings left on the road after spring sweeping operations have concluded and/or for any of the prohibited materials listed above.
Municipal sweeping operations typically commence mid-spring or as weather permits and conclude by early June. Besides general cleanliness, the streets are swept twice to prevent grit and gravel from entering the storm water system, which diminishes storm water capacity over time.
Residential Spring Clean-Up Week
Use of the landfill site will be free of charge from May 9 to May 15, 2026, closed May 10, May 12, and May 14 inclusive for residents of the Township of Terrace Bay. It will resume operation with regular hours and fees Saturday May 16, 2026. Public Works will do townsite pick up from residential properties as per the schedule noted below Monday, May 11 to Thursday May 14, 2026, inclusive with no exceptions. Pick up applied to residential properties only, commercial and business properties are not included.
There will be no pickup of tires or demolition material or large quantities of concrete (i.e., sidewalks or old foundations). Tires, demolition material or concrete can be delivered to the landfill site by the property or business owner and regular rates will apply.
Residents are asked to place rubbish close to the roadside and in proper containers where necessary to permit easy access for loading by 7:00 a.m. on their scheduled pick-up day.
Public Works will not pick up derelict vehicles, i.e., old cars, trucks, or trailers. These items can be delivered to the landfill site by the residential owner and regular tipping fees will apply.
Freezers or refrigerators require certification that refrigerant has been removed before they will be accepted for pick up. Freezers or refrigerators not certified and drained can be brought to the landfill anytime for a fee of $100.
PLEASE DO NOT DEPOSIT MATERIALS ELIGIBLE FOR THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY
The Township of Terrace Bay reserves the right to refuse or limit collection of materials where there is evidence of excessive accumulation, non-compliance with regular waste practices, or misuse of the Residential Spring Clean-Up Week program.
This program is intended to assist residents with seasonal clean-up of typical household items and is not intended for the disposal of accumulated household waste or ongoing refuse.

Commercial, Industrial, and Multi-Residential Properties during Clean-Up Week

- No steel, including but not limited to, vehicles and vehicle parts;

- Maximum quantity will be restricted to one dump truck load or five (5) ½ ton loads per property;

Overview
The Township of Terrace Bay has successfully received a new electric ice resurfacer for the Terrace Bay Memorial Arena, replacing a unit that served the community for more than 25 years.
This upgrade is part of the Terrace Bay Memorial Arena Capital Infrastructure Enhancements project, supported in part through funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC). The new equipment will improve ice quality, reduce operating and maintenance costs, and support a more sustainable and reliable arena operation for years to come.
Before arriving in Terrace Bay, the new ice resurfacer completed final on-ice testing in Italy, coincidentally during the same period as the Winter Olympics, before being shipped to Canada.
Project Highlights
- Funded in part through NOHFC
- Replacement of aging propane-powered resurfacer (2001 unit)
- Improved ice quality and consistency
- Reduced emissions and improved indoor air quality
- Lower operating and maintenance costs
The Terrace Bay Memorial Arena is a central hub for recreation, events, and community connection. Investments like this ensure the facility continues to provide a safe, accessible, and reliable space for residents and visitors alike.
The new electric ice resurfacer supports long-term sustainability while enhancing the overall experience for user groups, tournaments, and public skating programs.
Funding
This project represents a significant investment in community infrastructure and was supported in part through funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC).
Timeline
- Procurement of ice resurfacer: 2024–2025
- Delivery and staff training: 2026
