Bath Canada Day Revised Program

People living in Bath on Main Street from the top of the hill at Fast Freddy’s to the corner of Church and Main Street, along Fairfield from Main to Academy and on the south end of Church Street will NOT need road passes this year.

Because of the need to relocate to the Church Street park area, Main Street will be open to two way traffic most of the day.

However  at 11:30 a barrier will go up on the west side ( J&P’s side of Main Street) to begin to clear Main Street for the Parade. Cars will still have access to Church Street.

At the same time, a barrier will go up at the west end of Finkle’s Shore Park to allow volunteers to line up the parade.

The barriers are staffed by OPP officer’s who will control access to Main Street.

Main Street from Finkle’s Shore to Church Street and Church Street to Bath Public School will close at 1 pm  for the Parade. They will re-open as soon as the parade is finished

Highway 33 through Bath will be open to two way traffic all day EXCEPT for 11:30 am to 2 pm to allow for clearing streets in advance of the Parade at 1 pm.

However traffic will be slow in the Village especially on Church Street.

To avoid slow traffic coming through Bath on Canada Day, assuming  you are planning NOT to spend the day in Bath here’s what you do.
