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.

Rehabilitation of Hudson Drive Water, Storm, and Sewer Infrastructure Receives Provincial Funding

Terrace Bay, Ontario — 2026/02/9 — The Township of Terrace Bay is pleased to announce that the Province of Ontario has approved funding toward the rehabilitation of water, sewer, stormwater and road infrastructure under the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program’s Health and Safety Water Stream (MHIP–HSWS)

This major infrastructure renewal will address critical water, stormwater, and wastewater needs along the entirety of Hudson Drive and potentially portions of Birch Crescent, supporting the long‑term safety, reliability, and resilience of Terrace Bay’s core infrastructure. The project will help protect existing housing, safeguard public health and safety, and ensure the community’s infrastructure remains strong for decades to come.

The Ministry of Infrastructure has committed up to $11,170,887 toward eligible project costs on a projected total project budget of $15M. The Township will contribute the remaining share of the project budget and will be responsible for any additional or ineligible costs that arise throughout the project’s construction phase.  Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and be fully completed by 2029.      

“We are grateful for the province’s support of this essential infrastructure investment,” said Mayor Paul Malashewski. “This project strengthens the services residents rely on every day and reinforces Terrace Bay’s commitment to maintaining safe, modern, and sustainable infrastructure.”

Before construction can begin, the Township will work with the Ministry of Infrastructure to finalize a Transfer Payment Agreement (TPA) and complete all required provincial processes, including Duty‑to‑Consult and Environmental Assessment obligations where applicable. Early project activities such as design and engineering may proceed while these steps are underway. Additional details, including timelines and construction impacts, will be shared with the community as planning progresses.
