2020-2021 Fall/Winter Community Guide
MAYOR’S WELCOME
This past year has shown how resilient and community driven our Township can be in the
face of uncertainty. Our Township saw a change from previous years with a stronger focus on
staycations, creative ways to keep active while social distancing, and saw a major boost to
shop local initiatives. As summer fades into fall, the Township of South Glengarry continues
to collaborate and follow the direction of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit to promote social
distancing measures and ensure the health and safety of our community.
South Glengarry is a community of neighbours helping neighbours, active living
opportunities, year-round natural and historic sites, and is a welcoming place to visit, stay,
and grow. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read this Fall
& Winter guide detailing a number of great ways to keep you informed on Township dates,
programs, and services as well as offer ways for our community to stay active and safe as
we head into the winter season. On behalf of myself, Council, and all of us at the Township of
South Glengarry, welcome to the Fall & Winter Community Guide.
