WATER AND WASTEWATER FINANCIAL PLANS

The Municipality of Greenstone has developed a Water and Wastewater Financial Plan that outlines our financial position and plans to keep our water infrastructure up to date.  

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND REPORTING

Major development projects are subject to the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act.  We often undertake public consultation with the help of a project consultant who assists us through the stages of the Environmental Assessment (EA) process.  The EA process is an important part of planning future developments.  With respect to waste management in Greenstone, an EA may be required for changes to existing landfill sites or the development of a new site.  If we are working on a project, a notice will be advertised on the Municipal website and other media streams required by the Act.

The Municipality of Greenstone provides a variety of services to support seniors living across Greenstone, including the communities of Beardmore, Geraldton, Longlac, Nakina and the surrounding rural areas. In March 2020, the Municipality commissioned a consultant to perform a complete Seniors' Services Review.
