Old Yonge Street Road Closure
Yonge Street remains closed to through traffic for the construction of a retaining wall and road surface improvements and is expected to reopen in June 2023. Due to wet weather and increased traffic volumes the road condition has deteriorated and cannot accommodate traffic. A full road closure is now necessary to ensure the safety of all travellers.

Mosquito Control Program
The mosquito control program is the application of biological larvicide VectoBac 200G [PCP#18158, granular formulation] which will be applied by helicopter to select standing water mosquito breeding habitats within East Gwillimbury. This program is weather dependent and is scheduled to begin this month. Visit www.eastgwillimbury.ca/Mosquito to view the treatment areas. This product contains B.t.i., which is specific to mosquito larvae. Contact the Town of East Gwillimbury, Dave Dodwell at 905-478-4283 ext. 1296 for more information.
