1. Those who have booked facilities during the time of the closure, will not be charged for the booking. Any deposit will be returned.
2. The March 18, 2020 date for the payment of Interim Taxes is still in effect. Ratepayers can still pay by all methods currently available. If you decide to bring your tax payment or any other payment to the Township Office, you may drop it into the mailbox.
3. The Committee of the Whole, Regular Council and Planning Meetings scheduled for March 17 and March 18 have been cancelled.
