GREAT NEWS ..... The South Dundas Municipal Council approved the Morrisburg Model Village Proposal and gave us the go full speed ahead signal for this great project!

A great meeting tonight with the Morrisburg Waterfront Committee. They approved submitting the Morrisburg Model Village Proposal to the South Dundas Council - hopefully for their approval at their meeting on Tuesday 17 October. To see the full proposal, please Click Here.

In the Morrisburg Waterfront Committee meeting on 19 July, 2017, John Gleed presented a proposal to create a “Morrisburg Model Village” of Morrisburg as it was in the 1950s before the St Lawrence Seaway flooding in 1958. The proposal received warm support from the committee and we recommended that the proposal be presented to the South Dundas Council for review and approval.

The presentation was made at the South Dundas Council meeting on 22 August.  We believe the presentation was well received by Council and, subject to finalizing the specific location on the waterfront, appeared to have general support.

The resulting article in the Morrisburg Leader (30 August 2017) and the St Lawrence Piks Facebook Page post (24 August) were very well received by the community, with strong encouragement to go ahead.

We are currently preparing a formal proposal from the Morrisburg Waterfront Committee to the South Dundas Municipal Council to get go ahead approval in principle for this project, subject to the finalization of the specific waterfront location with the South Dundas Municipal staff .
