The Significant Weather Event has been lifted as of 9:00am, April 1, 2025.  Operations on debris cleanup continue however roads now comply with the Province's Minimum Maintenance Standards.


Update 9:00am April 1, 2025

Areas in Midland are still experiencing power outages. Some traffic signals may not be functioning and roads may be closed to complete clean up, please proceed with caution when travelling. 

Warming centres in Midland remain open based on community need and timing of power restoration. 

Relief and Warming Centres:

  • North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre (527 Len Self Blvd) 
    • Open from 8:00am to 10:00pm 
  • Town Hall (575 Dominion Avenue)
    • Open from 8:30am to 4:30pm 

Residents can come in to:

  • Warm up (bring your own blankets and refreshments).
  • Charge electronic devices (bring your own charging cables and blocks).
  • Fill personal water bottles.

Update 12:15pm March 31, 2025

Significant Weather Event still in effect

The ongoing power outage has been challenging, though Midland's resiliency and strength has continued to shine through. Our community has stepped up in so many amazing ways, checking on neighbours, providing food, and ensuring everyone remains safe and warm. 

Thank you to the emergency services, hydro and town operations crews who are working around the clock during this time to keep everyone safe. 

The Town has two Relief and Warming Centres open for residents today if you need a warm place to go or to charge your phone, visit the: 

  • North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre (527 Len Self Blvd) open until 10:00pm
  • Town Hall (575 Dominion Avenue) open until 4:30pm

Operating hours will be assessed based on community need and power restoration progress. 

Reporting downed Town trees:

To report downed trees that are not life-threatening, please report by making an online case, email us or call us (705-526-4275). Only call 911 in emergency or life-threatening situations.

Town parks:

It is unsafe to enter any park areas as the storm has caused extensive damage, with many downed and unstable trees.

Private property clean up:

If you begin yard cleanup, exercise extreme caution. Hazards such as downed wires, sharp debris, and unstable branches may not be visible and can pose serious risks. Always treat all wires as live and keep a safe distance. Do not place debris, branches, or trees on roads or boulevards. This obstructs emergency response and delays cleanup efforts.

County of Simcoe waste drop-off sites will be accepting brush debris, free of charge, from March 31 through April 5, 2025. Visit the County of Simcoe website for more.

Transit service:

Mid-Pen Transit Service is running today, riders can access the Relief and Warming Centre at the NSSRC using the bus. Find the route schedule on our Transit webpage. 

County waste collection: 

Waste collections for regular Monday routes will continue where possible. If areas are missed on Monday, residents can leave materials curbside and the County will attempt to collect during the week up to and including Friday, April 4, 2025. 

To those offering help, opening your doors, and looking out for others—thank you. Your kindness is what makes Midland such an amazing community. We will get through this together.

What does this mean?

The declaration of a significant weather event is to notify the public about a forecasted or current weather hazard which has the potential to pose a significant danger to drivers and pedestrians. The Operations team continues to maintain roads, focusing on main arterials to support emergency vehicles. 

During a significant weather event it may take longer than usual for Town Operations to bring the roads back to optimal condition. Municipal roads and sidewalks are considered to be in a state of repair until the event is declared ended.

How can you help?
