Christmas trees bring so much joy and beauty into our homes, but it’s important to remember that they can also be a fire hazard if not cared for properly. Check out these Holiday Tree Safety Tips from the National Fire Protection Association.

Don’t forget to renew your pet’s tags. Registering your dog or cat helps ensure they can be quickly and safely returned to you if they ever get lost. A reminder that dog and cat tags are just $20 if purchased before March 1, 2026. After this date, the fee increases to $30. Applications and full details are available on our Animal Control page. 

The votes are in for the Christmas in Bonfield Kids’ Colouring Contest!

Winter weather can be unpredictable, and power outages or hazardous conditions can happen fast. Make sure you and your loved ones are ready by having a 72-hour emergency kit stocked with essentials.

Visit Emergency Management Ontario for additional resources and information on how to prepare for winter storms.

Please be advised that there are changes to the schedule for Council, Committee, and Board meetings for the month of December. We encourage all residents to review the updated schedule by visiting our Events Calendar. Thank you for your understanding as we accommodate the holiday season. 

Thank you to everyone who attended the Agri-Food Forum and Developer's Forums! These custom-designed events provided a unique opportunity for us all to better understand the needs and wants of local businesses, and learn from the experiences of other communities. They also demonstrated the power of unity and collaboration, as we continue #GrowBonfieldTogether.
