Half Load Season - March 1 to April 30, 2026
The half-load season on certain municipal roads runs from March 1 to April 30 each year. Trucks are subject to reduced load restrictions in line with the Highway Traffic Act and By-law 2009-045. These measures aim to safeguard roads and bridges from potential damage during the spring thaw and prevent the formation of severe potholes, cracking, and deformation that occur when heavy vehicles travel on softened, saturated roads. Certain exemptions may be requested. For further information and the half-load map, please visit our Public Works page on our website at: https://www.bayham.on.ca/municipal-office/public-works/
The Municipal after-hours drop box is temporarily unavailable due to construction.
During regular business hours, please bring all payments/documents upstairs to the Municipal Office or use the doorbell to the right of the main doors and someone will come down to assist you.
If you require any other accommodations, please call our office at 519-866-5521 to arrange.
Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Thinking of Running for Municipal Council?
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) is providing an information session on March 27 at 7 p.m. at the East Elgin Community Complex - Imperial Hall, located at 531 Talbot St. West, Aylmer.
The Municipality of Bayham, in partnership with the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA), will be conducting spring hydrant flushing from April 27 to May 8. This work includes flushing all municipal hydrants as part of a regular maintenance program to maintain water quality and ensure the proper operation of the water distribution system.
During this time, residents may experience temporary discolored water and/or reduced water pressure. If discoloration occurs, residents are advised to run cold water taps until the water clears and to avoid doing laundry until water clarity is restored.
The next Census of Population will take place in May 2026. To support this important project, Statistics Canada is hiring for supervisory and non-supervisory positions. Approximately 32,000 jobs are available across Canada!
Statistics Canada is looking for local people to help collect accurate data in our community. This data is vital for planning and evaluating programs and services such as education, health care, childcare, housing, emergency services, roads, public transportation and job training.
