What to Watch

Federal Grant — $470K for Community Projects (CS-2026-26): Council will consider entering into a contribution agreement with the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario under the Build Communities Strong Fund for a non-repayable federal contribution of up to $470,313 — notable as a significant injection of federal dollars into local community infrastructure.

Recreation Infrastructure Funding Application (CS-2026-31): Staff are seeking approval to apply to the provincial Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund’s December 2026 intake, which could bring additional dollars to local sports and rec facilities.

Salt Management Plan Adoption (PW-2026-62): Council will consider approving a new Draft Salt Management Plan — a formal policy governing how and when road salt is applied, with implications for both winter road maintenance and local water quality.

Minimum Maintenance Standards Policy Update (PW-2026-63): Staff are recommending amendments to the township’s Minimum Maintenance Standards Policy, which sets baseline requirements for road and infrastructure upkeep; a related by-law will follow.

Pine River Water Monitoring — Aug & Sept 2026 (Item 6.1): The committee receives the latest Pine River water monitoring reports for information — worth watching for residents and landowners along the Pine River corridor.
