The Town of Georgina is moving forward with a redesign of the replacement Civic Centre. After much work, analysis and discussion, Council endorsed the plan allowing the Town to resume its progress on the replacement Civic Centre project under a revised Workplace Strategy.

The Town is not hosting a clean-up event this year, such as Pitch-In Week.

Residents are being asked not to gather in groups due to the provincial stay-at-home order, and to cleanup roadside and boulevard areas near their own property.

Litter collection bags are available from the Town.

If you have a large number of litter collection bags, contact the Town at 905-476-4301, and arrangements will be made to have litter collection bags removed.

Remember traffic safety is very important.

Spring street sweeping operations take place each spring to remove winter sand from Town roads. Street sweeping occurs weekdays starting the week of April 6 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., weather permitting.

Residents are asked to sweep unwanted sand from their driveways and sidewalks, over the curb and onto the edge of the road for removal by the street sweeper. Avoid parking on Town streets when sweepers are working in your area to allow the equipment to properly sweep the roadway in its entirety.

The Town of Georgina is partnering with Diabetes Canada for a new textile diversion program to help support waste diversion in the community.

“Every year, tons of used textiles end up in our landfills as garbage when they could be put to better use,” said Mayor Margaret Quirk. “By partnering with Diabetes Canada, we can divert these textiles and recycle them, while also doing something good for the environment and supporting the important work of this charity.”
