The Weekly Update for June 22 to June 26 is here.

Look for a new Weekly Update every Friday!

June 26, 2026, Lansdowne, ON – Families, children, Council members, staff, community members, and project partners gathered today to celebrate the grand reopening of Jerry Park, marking the completion of exciting upgrades that include new accessible and inclusive playground equipment designed to welcome children of all abilities.

The celebration brought the community together to recognize the importance of creating safe, welcoming spaces where residents can connect, play, and enjoy the outdoors. The event featured remarks from Mayor Smith Gatcke and Councillor Kelman (a member of the Recreation Working Group), as well as the official ribbon-cutting to mark the reopening of the enhanced park space.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Door to Dock Fire Pump Clinic, scheduled for Saturday, June 27, 2026, at the Ivy Lea Government Dock, 117 Ivy Lea Road, has been postponed.  A new date will be announced in the coming weeks.

Take notice that the Council of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands will hold a public meeting on Monday, July 13, 2026 at 6:00 pm. The meeting will be to consider the following application for amendment:

Official Plan Amendment Application D09-2026-001 and Zoning By-law Amendment Application D14-2026-007 – Administrative Amendments

Zoning By-law Amendment Application D14-2026-008 Administrative Amendment – to permit limited structures within the 30-metre water setback with a maximum combined area of 14 square metres. The proposed exception would not apply to lots fronting on Highly Sensitive Lake Trout Lakes (Charleston and Red Horse) and would not permit structures containing sleeping accommodation within the setback area.

For further information, including how to participate/comment in the public meeting, please visit the Township website Active Development Applications page.

Jerry Park's splash pad and play structures are ready for some action. We know you've been waiting to get back to the park, so come check it out this weekend.

We still need to be mindful of some areas that need a little bit more attention and time. While enjoying the space, stay on the paths and play structures (the sod and grass seed need to set and grow).

We plan to have an official Grand Re-Opening soon.
