On-street parking restrictions are in effect, recreation facilities remain open
Township of King, Ont. (February 18, 2026) — King Township has declared a Significant Weather Event, effective today, Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, at 9 a.m. due to forecasted weather conditions of freezing rain followed by snow that are expected to cause hazardous conditions on Township roads and sidewalks.
The Township urges all to use extreme caution as the hazard poses a significant danger to all roadway users. Accumulations of 5-10mm of freezing rain and ~10cm of snow are expected.
All drop-in and registered recreation programs, including swim lessons, are cancelled on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at King Township facilities. Recreation facilities remain open and permits are unaffected. Programming will resume as scheduled on Thursday, Feb. 19.
On-street parking restrictions are in effect. No parking on roads is permitted during plowing, sanding or salting.
A reminder that plowing occurs in priority sequence—major roads first, followed by neighbourhood roads and cul-de-sacs last—to ensure that fire and emergency services are able to drive on the roads and respond to calls.
Road servicing is typically completed within a 12-hour period after the snowfall is complete. It can take longer during a Significant Weather Event.
Although crews are very conscious in following route schedules, sometimes streets may be missed. To report an oversight, call ServiceKing at 905-833-5321 or email serviceking@king.ca.
