Construction on the Mill Gate Dog Park in Beaverton is set to begin next Monday, with the work expected to be finished by the end of August. The park will have separate areas for large and small dogs, double gates, and later, benches, picnic tables and garbage bins. Brock Township says the project is moving ahead this year, with an $8,241.75 budget shortfall covered by the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve, and residents are asked to use caution while work is underway.

A Southern Georgian Bay OPP officer is facing six criminal charges following an SIU investigation into allegations involving three women between August 2024 and October 2025. Constable Zahid Javed has been charged with three counts of sexual assault and three counts of breach of trust, and was released with conditions that include no contact with the affected individuals. Javed is scheduled to appear in Ontario Court of Justice in Midland on September 10th, and the SIU says it will not comment further while the case is before the courts.

Work is underway on Station Road and Old Homestead Road in Georgina, including drainage and sidewalk improvements and construction of a new multi-use path. The path will give pedestrians and cyclists a safer connection between Station Road, the Pefferlaw River bridge, local neighbourhoods and York Region trails. The project is expected to be finished by fall 2026, and drivers are being reminded to slow down in construction zones.
