On Friday, MPP Dave Smith joined representatives from the Municipality of Trent Lakes to see the results of the $185,400 Capital grant the municipality received in 2024 from the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The grant was used to construct the Lakehurst Hall Lower Bowl, a new events space for residents of all ages to enjoy art and recreation programming outdoors.

The Municipal office will be closed on Monday, August 3rd, for the Civic Holiday.

All Transfer Stations will be open on the holiday Monday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Council and staff wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

This new Lower Bowl features an accessible, 3-tiered, armour stone seating system and performance area. The public space will allow community members of all ages and abilities to be enriched through art programming.
