The Municipality of Tweed has ended a state of emergency.
The state of emergency was declared back on July 24th due to a tornado that rolled through the area.
The current fire status remains very high, and because of the tornado, there is still a significantly increased risk of wildfires.
A full burn ban has been implemented for the Municipality until further notice.
The Municipality says it has opened property at the end of Quarry Street in Actinolite specifically for those impacted by the tornado. This lot can take brush and wood chips.
Affected residents can take the materials there to the new driveway on the end of Quarry Street on the right-hand side.
Motorists are being urged to use caution when driving on the roads in the affected areas.
The Municipality says it has met with the Ministry for assessment of property damages due to the tornado and is still waiting for a response from the Minister of whether the Disaster Relief Assistance for Ontarians funding will be available for those affected who are without insurance.
The eligibility criteria can be found at this website.
