The Township of Uxbridge is recognizing National AccessAbility Week by celebrating the contributions of people with disabilities and promoting a more inclusive community. The week highlights the importance of removing barriers that can limit access to services, spaces, and opportunities. Uxbridge encourages residents to help create a community where everyone can participate and feel welcome.

Construction of the new Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter is progressing on schedule and within budget, with the roof and exterior walls now complete and interior plumbing, heating, and electrical work set to begin before concrete floors are poured. Officials from Uxbridge and Scugog toured the site on May 28 and confirmed the nearly 6,453500-square-foot facility at 5500 Lakeridge Road remains on track for occupancy by the end of 2026. Funded through more than $2.8 million in municipal contributions, fundraising efforts, and donations, the shelter will provide modern animal care facilities, adoption spaces, and outdoor exercise areas for both communities.

Brock Township Mayor Mike Jubb announced their 2026 maintenance gravel program is now underway. Jubb also re-affirmed his commitment to announcements at the beginning of each new program.
