Saugeen Shores Council Meeting — Regular — Monday, September 14, 2026 @ 6:30 PM

What to Watch

  • 2025 Audited Financial Statements: Council votes to approve the town’s 2025 annual financial statements.
  • SOUTH sign relocation: Following a Southampton BIA delegation, a motion directs staff to engage the BIA and public to find an alternate location for the SOUTH sign, which council says conflicts with the High Street reconstruction vision.
  • Fenton Park naming: A motion would officially name the Bluewater Lands Neighbourhood Park “Fenton Park” in recognition of former Port Elgin Farms Ltd. president Ray Fenton’s community contributions — a notable heritage/land naming decision.
  • Navaratri celebration funding: A delegation requests community event funding for a Navaratri community celebration.
  • Transparency policy motion: Council considers directing staff to develop a Routine Disclosure and Active Dissemination Policy to give residents informal access to municipal records outside the formal FOI process.
  • Quarterly tender reporting motion: A second motion would require staff to report awarded tenders over $25,000 to council on a quarterly basis, modelled on Bruce County’s existing practice.
