Consolidated Rate of Speed By-law Under Consideration

The Township is considering the adoption of a consolidated speed rate by-law to replace outdated legacy by-laws and formally document current posted speed limits across the municipality. The final by-law will come back to Council for approval at a later date.

Additional Fire Protection Funds Anticipated

Fire Chief Robertson reported that additional funding through the Ontario Fire Protection Grant is anticipated for 2025-2026. The additional funding is proposed to go towards new bunker gear, fit-testing equipment, and tools to tackle lithium-ion battery fires - all aimed at enhancing firefighter safety and cancer prevention.
