According to Section 4 of the Parking By-law, street parking is prohibited from midnight to 7:00 a.m. during the winter season. This restriction is in effect from November 1 to April 1, regardless of weather conditions.
Due to the mild weather and as a preventive measure, the rinks in the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet will be closed until further notice.
Using the rink when it is closed damages the surface and delays reopening. Please note that the opening dates of the skating rinks depend on weather conditions and are subject to change.
