City of Corner Brook
MEDIA ADVISORY

The City of Corner Brook will be observing the following schedule for the Christmas and New Year statutory holidays.

City Hall will be closed Monday December 26 and Tuesday December 27, 2022 as well as January 2, 2023. Public Works, Water & Wastewater crews will be available in the event of emergencies during this time, and residents can call 637-1666 if they are having any issues.

Public Transit will not be running on Dec 26th , 27th or January 2nd.

On-street parking will be allowed on the evening of December 31st into the morning of January 1st . If residents are planning on any having fireworks on New Year’s eve they must be restricted to the hours of 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. the following morning.

Garbage pickup will not take place Monday December 26th or Tuesday December 27th . Service will resume on Wednesday December 28th with Day 1.

Due to unusual scheduling, Day 4 has been moved to Monday January 2nd. The regular schedule will resume on January 3rd with Day 5.

The complimentary holiday garbage drop-off bins will return to the Civic Centre parking lot on Tuesday, December 27th. This service is intended ONLY for the excess household waste which may result from the holidays.

Residents are reminded that after statutory holidays they are allowed a six bag limit for garbage instead of the usual 4. Because the Civic Centre bins are for excess waste outside of your normal post-holiday six bag limit ONLY and tend to fill up quickly every year, if you don’t need to use them, please don’t!

We would also like to remind you the complimentary garbage bins are for regular household waste ONLY. For more information about what is or is not allowed please follow this link (link). If there is any garbage placed in the bins which fall outside of these categories, it may result in the bins being taken away early so your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. The area will be under video surveillance.

The bins will be in place until January 2, 2023.

The Civic Centre walking track will close at noon on December 24th and reopen on December 27th . There will be a family skate held in the Kinsmen Arena from 1:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Saturday the 24th, and General Skates will resume on December 27th.

We would like to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday season.
