TORONTO The Ontario government is allocating an additional $695 million to provide financial relief for municipalities and help ensure they do not carry operating deficits into 2021. This investment builds upon the first phase of the federal-provincial Safe Restart Agreement announced this summer and will help municipal partners deliver critical services during COVID-19.

Hastings County planners are about to create an exotic-animal bylaw template for potential use by member municipalities.
County planning director Justin Harrow said it’s a result of one county municipality – which he declined to name – receiving a request from someone wanting to open a “safari experience” in that municipality. Harrow said the proposed business would feature tigers.

Our elected members of Council started early, with a couple of social nights to get to know each other. It seemed fitting to explore what everyone did outside of the campaign – work and family. This approach, I feel, has led to a Council that has respect for each other – respect for what each one of us will bring to the table over the next four years.
Staff welcomed this new council and prepared and delivered informative presentations. We also attended the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) Council training before being sworn in. By Dec. 3, we were ready to work for our constituents.
South Bruce Peninsula Mayor Janice Jackson elected as Bruce County Warden
Bruce County Council elected Janice Jackson, Mayor of South Bruce Peninsula, as Bruce County’s Warden for the 2021 term. This is Mayor Janice Jackson’s first term as County Warden. Jackson was elected to municipal council in South Bruce Peninsula in 2010 and was then elected as Mayor in 2014 and 2018. The position of Warden is achieved through a vote of peers on County Council, which is comprised of eight locally elected municipal leaders who manage the affairs of our shared community and resources. The Warden chairs Council meetings, represents Bruce County at official functions, acts as an official spokesperson, and much more. Mayor Janice Jackson is Bruce County’s second female warden. Tessie Greig from Lion’s Head was elected as Bruce County’s first female warden in 1965.
