The Town has taken the next step towards the resumption of construction of the Pefferlaw Fire Hall. Having terminated its contract with BECC in April, the Town secured the site and began assessing the project’s present status in order to establish a go-forward construction schedule. Recently, the Town retained Pearson Consulting and together they engaged in an expedited process to retain a new contractor, resulting in the retention of Silver Birch Contracting Ltd.
Continuing with its staged approach to reopening, effective July 20, 2020, the Town of Georgina is reopening De La Salle Park and beach with reduced capacity and new restrictions.
Beaches and waterfront parks remain closed, as do all waterfront parking lots and washroom facilities.
