South Bruce Peninsula Regular Council — Tuesday, October 20, 2026 @ 9:00 AM

What to Watch

Colpoy’s Bay WI Food Forest (Delegation): The Colpoy’s Bay Women’s Institute asks Council to partner with the municipality on a Great Lakes Local Action Fund grant application to establish a community food forest — a notable ask that would put the town’s name behind an environmental and food-security initiative seeking outside funding.
Q3 Operating & Capital Financial Reports (FS20 & FS21): Staff will present both the operating budget performance and capital project update through September 30, giving residents a third-quarter snapshot of where the town stands on spending and projects.
Natural Asset Management Plan (FS22): Council will consider a Natural Asset Management Plan — a framework for inventorying and maintaining the town’s natural assets (wetlands, shoreline, green space) alongside conventional infrastructure, following an AMO Ontario case study.
OPP Policing Costs (FS23): Staff will report on OPP policing costs, one of the town’s largest budget line items and a perennial topic of interest for taxpayers.
Salt Management Plan (PW18): Council will consider a formal Salt Management Plan for winter road maintenance, balancing road safety with protection of local freshwater systems.
Mallory Beach Road Update (Notice of Motion): Mayor Kirkland has filed a notice of motion for a Mallory Beach Road update — a road with a long and contested history around public access in the municipality, worth watching for next steps.
