Most City offices, facilities and all Community Centres will be closed on Wednesday.

Curbside waste collection will occur on Wednesday, and the Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility will be open during regular hours of operation.

All City parking by-laws will still be in effect, including paid parking regulations.
