East End Bus Schedule (May 2023)

Time: All Day

Wastewater & Lagoon (Transmission Line Phase A) UPDATE Rumour Free and Correct May 18-2023. Open House Planned - no date set.

Time: All Day

At The May 18 2023 Regular Council meeting it was informally suggested that there will be an open house for Sandy Beach residents to discuss and decide to either YES or NO joining the Transmission Line Phase A project.

 

Currently Sandy Beach is awaiting a final cost analysis from the Darwell Commission and the County, and as soon as this information is received (at least 10-12 weeks), Council will set up a open house for residents to YES or NO the project.

 

If there is a poll please vote one vote per roll owner - two roll owners - each may vote.  

 

It is true that there are on Council a view that there should be a open house regardless of the cost estimates which is deemed irrelevant and a other view that the Village should wait for the cost estimates and THEN have the open house.

 

Either way the open house will be held BUT no date HAS been SET so monitor the website and DO NOT spread rumours and most importantly stay away from FB.

 

The open house format will be either "YES" or "NO".

 

Council might consider a formal vote or ballot on the day and only those attending will be allowed to vote/or a mail out and the results used.  Democratic process and input is key for Council.

 

NONE of this has been finalized yet as of May 18 BUT information updates will be posted to keep all abreast.

 

Contact the office if you need clarity.

 

Thank you.

Wastewater & Lagoon (Transmission Line Phase A) UPDATE Rumour Free and Correct May 18-2023. Open House Planned - no date set.

Time: All Day

At The May 18 2023 Regular Council meeting it was informally suggested that there will be an open house for Sandy Beach residents to discuss and decide to either YES or NO joining the Transmission Line Phase A project.

 

Currently Sandy Beach is awaiting a final cost analysis from the Darwell Commission and the County, and as soon as this information is received (at least 10-12 weeks), Council will set up a open house for residents to YES or NO the project.

 

If there is a poll please vote one vote per roll owner - two roll owners - each may vote.  

 

It is true that there are on Council a view that there should be a open house regardless of the cost estimates which is deemed irrelevant and a other view that the Village should wait for the cost estimates and THEN have the open house.

 

Either way the open house will be held BUT no date HAS been SET so monitor the website and DO NOT spread rumours and most importantly stay away from FB.

 

The open house format will be either "YES" or "NO".

 

Council might consider a formal vote or ballot on the day and only those attending will be allowed to vote/or a mail out and the results used.  Democratic process and input is key for Council.

 

NONE of this has been finalized yet as of May 18 BUT information updates will be posted to keep all abreast.

 

Contact the office if you need clarity.

 

Thank you.

West Cove Fire Breaks OFF LIMITS NO Vehicles, ATV's or Dirt Bikes please.

Time: All Day

Please help report vehicles and quads and dirt bikes entering the fire breaks off West Cove Drive so the Village can add the fines to the tax rolls directly.  Please spread the word - These areas are off limits for any type of vehicle and strictly for emergency escape and otherwise recreationally, (NON VEHICLE use) like trail walking and dogging.  Please clean and pick up after your pet(s). 

 

If you can or do see vehicles, bikes and quads here or entering the areas off West Cove Drive or the Highway take a picture of the license plates and we will pass it on to our new Peace Officer from Sturgeon County so the fines can be added to the tax rolls directly and with immediate effect. 

 

Thank you for your help and the Village apologize for the inconvenience caused by a few people who ignore the non use signs and make life miserable for the vast number of respectful residents. 

 

Thank you.
