Many thanks to Oshawa Fire Services personnel for taking time this morning to provide members of Southwold Fire Department a tour of Station 5 & the apparatus.

Looking forward to this project. When I originally joined the #fireservice it was at the Talbotville Station. Since that, both the fire department & community have outgrown the existing hall. The new hall will be a great asset to this growing area of TownshipofSouthwold.

Some #sweetcorn in on Friday. A new rain gauge up today. One is sure to indicate how the other will do.

Firefighters with the Dutton-Dunwich Fire Department quickly extinguished the blaze and paramedics took the driver to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

If you find yourself in heavy traffic following the eclipse, be courteous, be cautious, and be patient. A collision in this traffic will certainly slow down everyone's progress to their destination! Let's work together & get home safe. #ElginOPP ^bp

Southwold Fire Department responded to #Hwy401 EB 171 for a single vehicle MVC. 1 patient was transported by Medavie EMS Elgin ON with unknown injuries. OPP West Region remain on scene.

Please watch for slow/stopped traffic in all areas of TownshipofSouthwold as #SolarEclipse2024 traffic leaves the area

The Eclipse date has come and the moon is moving into position! Traffic is heavy as expected. Adhere to road closure signs and detours. #ElginOPP reminds those in high volume locations, be PATIENT, be COURTEOUS and be CAUTIOUS! #portstanleyontario ^bp
