Brockton Council Meeting — Tuesday, August 25, 2026 @ 7:00 PM

What to Watch

Pedestrian Priority Area — Scott Street, Walkerton: Council will vote on a motion to designate Scott Street as a pedestrian priority area, which would change how the street is shared between vehicles and pedestrians.
Additional Residential Unit (ARU) Toolkit By-Law: Council is set to adopt By-Law 2026-072 formalizing an ARU Toolkit — a notable housing measure that could shape how secondary and garden suites are added to properties across the municipality.
Dog Control By-Law Amendment — Livestock Guardian Dogs: A report and accompanying By-Law 2026-071 would carve out specific rules for working livestock guardian dogs, amending the existing dog control by-law for rural property owners.
Sideroad 15 Brant Speed Reduction: Council will consider a letter from residents requesting a speed reduction on Sideroad 15 Brant — a road-safety decision that could affect that corridor directly.
Young Municipal Drain: Council will receive an engineer’s report from R.J. Burnside & Associates and consider a provisional by-law (2026-070) for the Young Municipal Drain, a local drainage infrastructure matter.
Walkerton Cemetery Mower Replacement: Additional information is before Council on a spending decision to replace the mower at Walkerton Cemetery.
