📜 December 10th – Report to Council
Municipal staff will present a report to Council at its regularly scheduled Council meeting at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, outlining a range of options available for the future of the C&D Site. This report will be made available to residents as part of the Council package on Friday, December 5, 2025.

💬 December 11th- 16th – Public Feedback Period
Residents will have from Thursday, December 11, 2025 until 9:00 am on Tuesday, December 16, 2025 to provide their comments for feedback via email to nicole.blades@municipalityofshelburne.ca. Municipal staff will compile all feedback into a single document, which will be shared with both councillors and residents (via website, social media, or for pick up at the municipal office) by end of day December 16, 2025.

🏛️ December 18th – Special Council Meeting at 2:00 pm
A special meeting of Council will take place at 2:00 pm on December 18, 2025. At this meeting, Council will review resident feedback alongside the staff report and make a decision on the path forward for the C&D Site.

While one of the options before Council will be to continue with the closure of the C&D Site, there will also be options presented that may allow the site to remain open in various capacities, under a new operational model.

Warden Penny Smith states “Resident input has been, and continues to be, an essential part of determining next steps. Council is committed to evaluating all options carefully and responsibly as we focus on the best path forward.”

Council has set out a clear timeline to ensure transparency, public input, and informed decision-making. The Municipality encourages all residents to take part in this process by reviewing the staff report and participating in the public feedback process.
