However, Simcoe and Delhi splash pads will remain open. ServiceNorfolk will also be closed, with regular hours resuming Tuesday, August 5.
Essential and emergency services such as fire and paramedics will continue to operate. Ride Norfolk will not run on the holiday, and transfer stations will be closed.
Garbage and recycling collection will be delayed by one day throughout the week, except in Simcoe. Residents are encouraged to use the free Recycle Coach app for collection schedules and reminders.
Libraries will be closed, but digital services like eBooks, streaming, and online learning are still available 24/7 at www.ncpl.ca.
Residents are also reminded about Norfolk County’s fireworks by-law: fireworks are only allowed two days before and one day after the holiday, and only on private property with permission, never on roads or municipal land. Fireworks must not be used after 11 p.m.
