Council Highlights from the June 6 meeting

Subdivision Construction at 2nd Concession and Mount Albert Road - Subdivision construction will begin in late June on the property located at the southwest corner of 2nd Concession and Mount Albert Road. The first phase will involve reconstructing the existing Good Shepherd Catholic Elementary School entrance to municipal road standard. The second phase will involve earthworks within the lands east of the school. A temporary entrance for access to the school through the summer will be constructed north of the existing school entrance.

Summer Mosquito Control Program - Council approved a summer mosquito control program to be applied to Town owned lands. This application will help control the mosquito population along specific Town trails and in parks. More information will be shared in the coming weeks.
