Tay Valley Township

The Township office Building Expansion / Renovation Project has progressed according to schedule and plans are in place to re-locate from our current location at Omya Canada Inc. back to 217 Harper Road on Monday & Tuesday, March 22nd and 23rd. Please note that in order to accommodate the move the office will be CLOSED on these dates and will re-open on Wednesday, March 24th.

Council and staff wish to thank all residents for their understanding and patience during this transition. We look forward to providing you with improved customer service in our newly designed office space.

The Township is redesigning its website with an aim to making it more user-friendly, functional, informative and eye-catching. Feedback received to-date proved invaluable, providing us with insight into how and why residents access the site.

The next step in this project is designing a website that visually captures the uniqueness of our Township, highlighting its rich history, abundant lakes / rivers and wealth of artisans. With this aim in mind we are asking residents to share photos capturing local landscapes, events and built heritage.

Send them by mail, email or in person to the attention of Rob Tremblay, clerk@tayvalleytwp.ca or Joanne Gallagher, jgallagher@tayvalleytwp.ca. Photographers / donors will be acknowledged on the website and in all media releases. Please be sure to include photo details (where taken, name of person / place in picture, details on event, etc.)

We know our Township is special and your photographs will help us demonstrate to others why we feel this way!
