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.

Letter from the Township of Terrace Bay

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.

Feb 10th: Testing in Italy

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).
