2010 Municipal Election

Although it seems early to start talking about it, the nomination period has already started!  Council is interested to hear from members of the public regarding alternative voting methods.  In 2006, electors had the choice of paper, telephone or Internet voting, and Council has recently passed a motion to use the same system again for 2010.   Please take a moment to share your thoughts by emailing the Clerk at dmckinstry@twpec.ca or by calling the Township office.

Official Plan

The draft Official Plan has been viewed and reviewed and sent to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for their comments.  The link to the draft plan with schedules is not currently functioning properly, but hard copies are available from the Township office.
