Hydro One is scheduled to complete vegetation maintenance in the high-voltage transmission corridor that runs along Nine Creeks Trail. Please see the notice below with map for the full work area as it extends into Ward 1.
Hydro One is responsible for maintaining a safe distance between vegetation and power lines to keep the corridor safe for public use, keep the lights on, and to allow easy and safe access for our crews. This important work ensures that Hydro One can continue to provide a supply of safe and reliable electricity.
What to Expect
As part of our work, our Forestry Technicians will selectively identify for removal or trimming (if possible) trees and other vegetation that could pose a risk to the electrical system. In advance of work starting, our team will deliver notices to adjacent property owners and engage residents that have work required on their property. Access to the hydro corridor may be limited during this time to ensure the safety of our crews and the public. Signs will be posted along impacted parks and community trails and our staff will re-direct community members around the closures. This work is expected to begin the week of February 16, 2026.
Our Forestry crews will use the following methods to complete this work:
- Our crews will use hand tools, such as chainsaws and pruners, to trim and remove the necessary vegetation.
- Mechanical equipment will be used to remove incompatible vegetation, and clean-up cut and trimmed vegetation.
- Vehicles, such as bucket trucks and chippers may be on site where required.
