A message from Loyalist Township regarding the Amherst Island Ferry:

To ensure the safety of all terminal users and maintain the efficient flow of traffic, all vehicles entering the Millhaven Terminal must use the designated entrance.

The exit lane is intended exclusively for departing traffic and is not to be used as an access point to the terminal.

Entering through the exit creates unnecessary safety risks for motorists, pedestrians, and terminal staff, and can result in traffic congestion and operational delays.

All drivers are asked to follow posted signage and use the designated entrance when accessing the terminal.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping maintain a safe and orderly environment for everyone using the Millhaven Terminal.

A Note From Our Team:

We know that over the past few weeks, you’ve probably noticed that the number of posts from Emergency Response Watch has declined significantly.

Behind the scenes, our team has been taking some time to regroup, and there were even conversations about whether it was time to bring ERW to an end after what has been an incredible two-year journey.

However, after everything we’ve built together, we’ve made the decision to keep going.

We’re not done yet!

Our team is preparing to come back strong and continue doing what we’ve always set out to do. keep our community informed, and share important local information.

We also want to be transparent about what goes on behind the scenes.

• Our team members have full-time jobs and responsibilities outside of ERW.
• None of our team members are paid to do this work.
• ERW operates entirely through the support of our community and donations.

We would love to be in a position where we could dedicate ourselves to ERW full-time. Right now, that simply isn’t possible. We have to balance ERW with our jobs, families, and everyday responsibilities.

That doesn’t mean we’ve lost our passion for what we do. If anything, the last two years have reminded us just how much this community means to us.

Every message, comment, reaction, share, kind word, and every bit of support means more than you probably realize. Whether you’ve been following us since day one or only recently found ERW, thank you for being here.

Please bear with us as we get ourselves back on track.

Remember: Emergency may be in our name, but we will continue posting more than just emergencies!

We’re still here, We’re still listening, and we’re still committed to Emergency Response Watch.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to continue this journey with you.
