Hydro One Forestry is planning to do regular forestry maintenance work in the Ailsa Craig – Nairn area throughout 2022 (see map attached below).

The maintenance will include the removal of dead, dying, and/or dangerous trees, the trimming of branches away from energized lines, and the removal of taller sticks of brush that has the potential to foul power lines.

The Municipality of North Middlesex is developing a Recreation & Facilities Master Plan to guide and manage the development of parks, facilities, programs and services over the next ten years. The Master Plan will explore various topic areas, including:

• Indoor and outdoor recreation facilities;
• Parks, open spaces and trails; and
• Service delivery policies, programs and practices.

Submit comments to recmasterplan@northmiddlesex.on.ca to be considered in the Recreation & Facilities Master Plan. Additional opportunities, including a public open house, online community survey and community organization focus groups, to have your say will be held in Fall 2022. Check back for updates!
