Under the PEI Municipal Government Act (MGA), which came into effect on December 23, 2017, it is a requirement that each municipality establishes and maintains regular office hours within 5 years of the Act coming into force. Further, the municipal offices must be open to serve the public for no less than 20 hours per week (MGA – Subsection 85(2) clause (b)).

In preparation for the enforcement of the above, the Rural Municipality of Warren Grove has formed a committee to gather information and explore potential options for amalgamation.

The Council has identified the following areas on which to gather information, and discuss how they would change through amalgamation:

• Land Permits (how would they be done? Land subdivision, lot size, grandfathered lots, etc.)
• Official land use plan (how to integrate the plans)
• Municipal Tax Rate Increase
• Additional Services (break for services not used)
• Representation on Council

We are seeking input from residents before engaging in conversation with neighboring communities starting in March 2021. If you have any thoughts or comments, please contact a member of Council or the CAO by March 1, 2021.

Alternatively, we will also welcome comments and an open discussion on the topic of amalgamation following our Budget Meeting – 7pm on Thursday March 4th, 2021 at the Community Hall, 7 Mill Road.

Residents of Warren Grove are invited to provide feedback on the Municipal Budget at a public meeting to be held at 7PM, March 4th, 2021 at the Community Hall – 7 Mill Rd.
