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
The intent of Clean-up Week is for Property Owners to clean up their lots and beautify the community. It is not the intent for the Municipality to accept waste from day-to-day operations. The following restrictions will apply:
- No steel, including but not limited to, vehicles and vehicle parts;
- No hazardous waste will be accepted;
- Municipality will only provide pick-up on residential properties;
- 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

The Township extends its thanks to maintenance staff for providing the walkthrough and sharing their expertise.
Acknowledgements

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.
