As of April 14, 2025, the Municipality of Trent Lakes has officially ended its Emergency Declaration due to the ice storm in March.

Over the weekend, hydro workers have been working hard to restore power to the County and will continue until power is restored to all homes. 

In Trent Lakes, we are focused on ensuring residents have locations to drop off their brush and are monitoring flood levels.

ICE STORM UPDATE - April 4, 2025

As we head into the weekend, the Municipality can confirm more hydro workers are entering our area to help restore power to your homes.
