Kenton Storm Cleanup Efforts
Last night's storm brought significant damage to parts of our municipality, particularly in the community of Kenton. Strong winds, heavy rain, and large hail have left many residents dealing with fallen trees, debris, and property damage.
As our community begins the cleanup process, we know that any offers of help and assistance would be greatly welcomed and appreciated by many residents, especially seniors and those facing the task of clearing trees and debris from their properties.
Municipal staff are on site today and will continue working throughout the week to clear debris from streets and assist with cleanup efforts where possible.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Woodworth Fire Department for their efforts last night, including helping clear trees from Hydro lines and roadways.
We also want to recognize our municipal staff who responded on a Sunday, assisting with public communications, utility operations, and cleanup efforts. From answering calls and sharing updates to clearing debris and restoring essential services, their dedication and willingness to step up during challenging circumstances is greatly appreciated.
Thank you as well to everyone who has already stepped up to help friends, family, neighbours, and community members.
The strength of municipality has always been found in neighbours helping neighbours.
Please continue to use caution around damaged trees, debris, and any downed power lines.
- R.M. of Wallace-Woodworth Council and Administration
