Fiona - Debris
- Details
Good afternoon to the residents of the Town of Stewiacke. As we all know, Hurricane "Fiona" had a huge impact on the Town of Stewiacke in addition to the province and parts beyond. Now we are in the post-event phase. The Town of Stewiacke has identified a location for town residents to dispose of vegetative debris only as a result of Hurricane "Fiona". This is not a location for the disposal of any other waste or construction debris. The disposal location will also be monitored by cameras.
Furthermore, the Colchester Balefill will be open for similar vegetative debris and there will be no tipping fees for three days and this may be extended.
Finally, the Public Works crew has cleared the various streets throughout Stewlacke therefore it is the property owner's responsibility to take the debris to the assigned location as indicated. I am appealing to residents to follow this procedure as outlined to avoid any enforcement action.
Respectfully,
Dale A. Bogle, Chief Administrative Officer

Fiona Update
- Details
Good morning. As we all know, Hurricane "Fiona" had a huge impact on the Town of Stewiacke in addition to the province and parts beyond. Big shout out to residents of the Town rising to the challenge and "batten down the hatches" and wait the storm out. Thankfully no word of any physical injuries although Fiona caused a lot of damage.
Now we are in the post-event phase. A comfort center will be open today (Monday) at the Stewiacke Community Centre commencing from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Thankfully our power has been mostly restored in the Town of Stewiacke but much of the surrounding area does not have power. The Stewiacke Community Centre is an ideal location for those who require power for oxygen tanks and other health-related issues instead of going to nearby hospitals.
What does a Comfort Centre provide?
Comfort Centres may provide different services depending on the resources available. However, all comfort centres are intended to provide a place to:
- a place to get warm
- re-charge devices
- use washroom
- get a warm drink
- check on each other, and share information
- get updates on weather and power resumption
Some centres may provide:
- Light snacks and/or food prepared by volunteers
- A space for community members to prepare their own food
What does a Comfort Centre NOT provide?
- A comfort centre is NOT an overnight shelter.
And a huge shout out to the Stewiacke Fire Department and the "Meals On Wheels" group for their hard work and leadership at the comfort centre yesterday. Thank you!!!
Respectfully,
Dale A. Bogle, Chief Administrative Officer
