Media Release

The safety and well being of the residents of the Township of Georgian Bluffs is our top priority. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve, the Township of Georgian Bluffs is doing everything we can to support you through this difficult time. I can assure you that we’re taking added precautions to keep our customers and employees safe. We are implementing a heightened cleaning regimen with daily disinfection, especially in all our public areas and commonly “touched” surfaces.

We also know that life must go on, and that means you may still need access to the services that the Wiarton Airport and our tenants provide. We will be restricting access to the terminal as of March 22. Tenants within the terminal will be operating business as usual until further notice. All meeting space will be unavailable until further notice.

Please note that the airport is being staffed as usual. Fuel sales will still be available through the card lock system and air side operations remain unchanged.

Please be assured that all staff at the airport will do everything to keep operations running as normal. Should you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me.

Recreation and Trails Master Plan – Public Open House

Parks, recreation and trails play an important role within the Township of Georgian Bluffs and help shape the lives of our communities. To provide direction for these important community assets over the next ten years, the Township of Georgian Bluffs is preparing a Recreation and Trails Master Plan.

This is the first document of its kind since amalgamation and will engage residents across Georgian Bluffs to help Council and Staff identify community needs along with ways to provide facilities and services in a cost-effective manner.

A great way to learn more about the Master Plan and provide your input is to join us for our Public Open House on October 15, 2019 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm in the newly renovated hall at the Shallow Lake Community Centre, located at 550 Princess Street. Drop-in any time during this event to speak with the Consultants and Township Staff.

In addition to the Public Open House all residents are invited to share their thoughts through any of these other options:

1. Online Community Survey: Help us collect details about community usage and preferences. The survey is available until October 31, 2019 through https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GBMasterPlan
2. Written Comments: Submit written comments at any municipal facility or e-mail them to recmasterplan@georgianbluffs.on.ca.
3. Quick Feedback: To start thinking about your parks, recreation and trail needs, email us your thoughts or opinions to the following statements:

• What are the best things about parks, recreation and trails in Georgian Bluffs?
