Further details to follow o The Asphodel-Norwood Fire Department lifted the open-air burn ban earlier in the week and office staff have been busy preparing burn permits since that time. Residents are encouraged to read By-law 2016-79 as it is being strictly enforced and to contact the Fire Chief for inspections prior to burning o Following the provincial government’s recent news release regarding greenspaces and walking trails, any impact to Township owned playgrounds and parks will be addressed at the next Municipal Control Group meeting as the provincial declaration of emergency has been extended o As Asphodel-Norwood shares a body of water with Otonabee-South- Monaghan and Trent Hills; a systematic, collaborative, approach is required to reopen any Township boat launches.
