JB Enterprises will NOT be working this weekend including the Victoria Day holiday.   

A revised construction schedule has been released by JB Enterprises which is available on the municipal website.  It has also been verbally communicated to the Town that the contractor is on schedule which is a testament to the hard work being completed by everyone involved. 

Along the same lines, the businesses of Penetanguishene are remaining open during the reconstruction to serve us all, please show them your appreciation by shopping local when you can.

If you are looking to access the Launch Ramp this weekend, be advised that access will be available from either direction with potential lane restrictions.

We would like to thank you again for your patience and co-operation during this work.  Should you have any questions or concerns please contact the Public Works Department at 549-7992 or visit the Town of Penetanguishene website at www.penetanguishene.ca.
