Public Engagement and Meetings

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) is hosting a public information session on Monday, November 24 from 4-6 p.m.

It’s year 40 for the Angel Tree program in Lanark County and the surrounding area.

This year, the Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville / Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Angel Tree program is starting off with a record 1,015 angels! The “angels,” assigned to trees, represent children directly affiliated with Family and Children’s Services and related programs. The goal is to provide a Christmas gift for each child. There will also be a selection of tags as an option of purchasing a gift card for a teen or groceries for a family.

A public hearing will be held virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. to consider a proposed minor variance application under Section 45 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P.13.  

We invite you, your employees, coworkers and neighbours to join us at our final Mississippi Mills Business Breakfast of 2025 on Wednesday, November 19 at the Almonte Civitan Club Community Hall (500 Almonte Street) from 7 to 9 a.m.

Last night’s meeting opened with a presentation from Canadian Armed Forces Capt. Theodore Van Hezewyk as part of the National Veterans’ Week Speakers Program. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1989 as a Mobile Support Equipment Operator and has served in Syria and Afghanistan. Capt. Van Hezewyk was posted to Ottawa in 2023 and now works with Radar and Control System as the technical advisor with Administration and Material Equipment Procurement. The National Veterans’ Week Speakers Program helps connect members of the Canadian Armed Forces with local groups so they can share their experiences and stories.
