Notice of Parking Signage Update

To improve safety and ensure clear access for emergency vehicles, patients, and visitors, Richmond Park Drive will become a No Parking Zone on both sides between Bridge Street West and Dundas Street West, effective September 1, 2025.
This change is necessary because the current road width does not safely support both street parking and two-way traffic. These updates are part of the Town’s ongoing efforts to enhance traffic flow and public safety around the hospital.

Total Burn Ban in Effect

Effective Monday, August 11, a total burn ban will be in place across the region.

Due to ongoing dry conditions, fire risk levels remain elevated. In the interest of public safety, all open-air burning is strictly prohibited until further notice.

We ask all residents to comply with this directive to help prevent wildfires and reduce strain on emergency resources. Enforcement measures will be in effect, and violations may result in fines.

We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to keeping our community safe.

Total Burn Ban Continued

August 21, 2025

Greater Napanee - In response to prolonged dry conditions, the Greater Napanee Fire Department (GNFD) is
putting a total, Town-wide burn ban in place that will be strictly enforced.

The Total Burn Ban, imposed on Monday August 11, remains in effect and applies to campfires, brush burning, and all other forms of outdoor fire activity.

“Conditions across Canada have led to significant vulnerability to fire that could result in injury and property loss, and Greater Napanee is no exception,” said GNFD Chief Shawn Armstrong. “We urge all residents to adhere to this ban to prevent wildfires and reduce pressure on emergency services.”

In line with the ban, members of the GNFD and By-law Services will be proactively monitoring compliance with this order.

Those who do not comply with the burn ban may receive fines of up to $500 per offence.
