A new round of Safe Restart funding has come to townships across the region.
The Ontario Government announced it is releasing $695 million to municipalities across the province. Minister of municipal affairs Steve Clark said the joint funding will help Ontario’s municipalities and make sure they are not operating deficits going into 2021. MPP John Yakabuski says the announcement will help municipalities move forward with capital projects and move on from COVID-19.
Each region will receive:
Township of Bonnechere Valley – $230,000

Township of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards – $22,000
