Update: Council & Committee Direction from October 15

At its meeting on October 15, 2025, Council chose to proceed with the Windermere Wharf Dock replacement but to defer the Maple Leaf Dock replacement. See full update below.

That same day, General/Finance Committee heard from multiple delegates regarding the Beaumaris Wood Dock, in which guided discussions to review the options and vote in favour of exploring a potential lease of the Township's Beaumaris Docks in order to preserve the historical seasonal use. Staff are currently exploring a potential lease option to bring forward at a future Committee meeting. See full update below.
