On November 25, 2024, the Municipality of North Grenville stands with communities across the globe to observe the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Since its inception in 1981, this day has served as a profound call to action—to confront the pervasive issue of gender-based violence, honour the resilience of survivors, and remember those whose lives were tragically cut short.

North Grenville, ON – Last week, the Government of Ontario announced up to $21.8 million in funding to support the expansion of North Grenville’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), a critical investment to meet the needs of North Grenville’s rapidly growing community. The expansion of the plant will ensure that the Municipality can continue to provide essential services for its residents and businesses - as well as to welcome new commercial, residential, industrial, and institutional developments. This includes but is not limited to new schools, a potential hotel, and a prospective provincial correctional facility.

After multiple discussions with Municipal Council and staff that began this past spring to ensure the continued success and sustainability of the Ferguson Forest Centre (FFC), North Grenville’s Municipal Council has approved a $200,000 bridge loan. The loan is being provided during a critical time in the Ferguson Forest’s transformation of its tree nursery. This decision reflects the Municipality’s commitment to supporting crucial community assets while ensuring responsible fiscal oversight.

We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and we celebrate the bravery of all who have risked their lives for our freedom.
