Squalls and highway closures

Snow squalls off Georgian Bay can cut visibility and sometimes close Highway 400 or local roads. Crews may need to wait until roads are open and safe. Send your request as soon as you notice a problem rather than waiting for the storm to end.

Tip for Parry Sound: During squall season, book a check after the first big storm instead of waiting until the roof is visibly loaded.
