Public Engagement and Meetings

A Flood Watch Statement indicates that flooding is possible in specific watercourses or municipalities. Municipalities, emergency services and individual landowners in flood prone areas should prepare.

This is an update to the Flood Outlook Statement for the Mississippi River watershed issued April 13, 2026.

In Mississippi Mills, volunteerism isn’t something that happens in the background – it’s the heartbeat of our community.

As the 2023–2027 Council term nears completion, we’re sharing a series of “report cards” by highlighting progress on a major MM2048 initiative: the Mississippi Mills Community Services Master Plan.

Winter’s freeze-thaw cycle and our rainy spring have taken a toll on local roads. We know conditions aren’t ideal right now.

Lanark County Paramedic Service (LCPS) has brought together hospital partners across the county, in partnership with the Mississippi River Health Alliance (MRHA) and Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH), to implement a "Fit-to-Sit" approach in Emergency Departments — designed to improve patient flow, reduce ambulance offload delays, and keep paramedic crews available for 911 calls across the region.

Last night’s Council meeting started with two public meetings about planning.

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority’s (MVCA) Board of Directors received the 2025 Annual Report and approved the 2025 Financial Statements at our 58th Annual General Meeting held April 13.   

Localized flooding may be occurring in some areas and on some properties. Floodwaters and water ponding around wells can compromise the safety of your drinking water. Southeast Public Health (SEPH) advises residents whose wells have been directly affected by flooding to boil their water for at least one minute at a rolling boil before consuming it, or to use an alternate safe water source until testing confirms the water is safe to drink.
