Service disruptions — Family Day 2023

Family Day is upon us once more and with it comes some changes to the services offered by the City.

On Monday, February 20, municipal offices will be closed.

Garbage and recycling collection will be delayed by a day. So, if your collection is typically on a Monday, it will be on Tuesday this week, and so on and so forth. The landfill will also be closed on February 20. Click here for the waste calendar.

Cornwall Transit will not be operating on Family Day, and transit offices will be closed.
