The Sarnia Police Service would like to remind the public of scheduled road closures on Canada Day with respect to the parade and park activities.
Christina St/Lakeshore Rd between Michigan Ave and Colborne Rd will be shut down to all motor vehicle traffic starting at 10:30am. This includes the main entrance to Canatara Park at Christina St and Cathcart Blvd and the side entrance at Charlesworth Dr. We encourage those who want to park their vehicle inside Canatara, to do so before 10:30am. There will be no motor vehicle traffic allowed into the park after this time except for emergency services and Sarnia Transit. Sandy Ln entrance will also be closed by 10:30am with restricted access only for vendors, performers and volunteers with parking passes issued by the City of Sarnia.
Approximately one hour following the parade completion, vehicles will be allowed to exit the park once pedestrian traffic has reasonably cleared. Vehicles will only be allowed to exit eastbound on Cathcart Blvd as northbound and southbound traffic on Christina St will be restricted access only. Canatara Park is expected to re-open to normal flow of traffic by approximately 3pm. Christina St/Lakeshore Rd will also re-open to normal traffic flow at this time.
At approximately 5pm, Front St will be closed from Exmouth St to London Rd to allow safe pedestrian access to Centennial Park. This section of Front St will remain closed until approximately 11:30pm when pedestrian traffic has cleared.
The Sarnia Police Service would like to advise visitors to Canatara and Centennial Park that pedestrian safety will be a priority and to remind motorists to, expect delays, plan accordingly and please be patient.
