Residents will be consulted through the process and should be aware that all water is safe to drink, and meets all safety standards. Dates for public input will be communicated. Dog Tag Update - Residents are reminded that all dogs are required to be licenced annually. Council approved a change in cost to $35 per year, which is aligned with neighbouring municipalities and will ensure appropriate costs are covered for the administrative process. Senior prices will remain at $26. Learn more at www.eastgwillimbury.ca/animalcontrol.Health & Active Living Plaza (HALP) Update - CWC recommended moving ahead with the design of the HALP.
