Residents of Innisfil can now plan their festive season with clarity, as the town has released its schedule of municipal service hours and closures for the 2025 holiday period. The information, published on December 18, provides a detailed look at what will be open and closed, ensuring the community can navigate the break without hassle.
Municipal Office and Facility Closures
The Town of Innisfil's municipal offices will be closed for the statutory holidays, allowing staff to observe Christmas and New Year's Day with their families. This closure includes administrative services at the main town hall building. Essential services, however, such as fire and emergency response, will remain operational throughout the holiday period to ensure public safety.
Residents are encouraged to plan any in-person municipal business, such as permit applications or fee payments, around these closure dates. Online services through the town's official website may still be accessible for certain transactions, though processing times could be delayed until staff return.
Recreation and Community Services Schedule
Community centres, libraries, and public recreation facilities in Innisfil will operate on a modified schedule. While some facilities may have reduced hours on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, they are typically closed on the statutory holidays themselves.
Public skating rinks and arenas may offer special holiday public skating sessions, but schedules vary. It is recommended that residents check the town's official recreation website or call ahead to confirm specific times for their preferred facility. The Innisfil ideaLAB & Library branches will also follow a holiday schedule, with closures on key dates.
Waste Collection and Public Works
Garbage, recycling, and organics collection schedules will be affected by the holidays. There will be no collection on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Collection for the remainder of the week will be pushed back by one day.
For example, if your regular collection day is Monday, it will shift to Tuesday. The schedule returns to normal the following week. Residents should have their materials at the curb by 7 a.m. on their adjusted collection day. The town also reminds residents to be mindful of holiday waste, such as wrapping paper and cardboard, and to sort it according to local guidelines.
By announcing these details well in advance, the Town of Innisfil aims to help its residents enjoy a smooth and well-organized holiday season, minimizing disruptions to daily routines.
