More details to follow.

June Township Watch

Most of you have probably not had the occasion to attend one of our
Township Council meetings, held every three weeks all year. We attend them on
your behalf to let you know of important happenings and to keep you, the
taxpayers, informed. Believe it or not, we actually enjoy our task!

We would suggest that any of you who are here this summer would most likely benefit from sitting in on one or more of these sessions. There is so much to learn – our township staff and our Council and Mayor have a challenging job, with District By-laws, Township By-laws, and the Provincial Municipal Act. Talk about navigating a minefield! Since we will be having a Municipal Election in October, I would urge all of you to take advantage of the opportunity to attend a meeting or two. It is amazing what you will learn there.

The July township schedule is as follows: (all meetings start at 9:00 am)

   - Committee of Adjustment - July 12 and 30
