The Councils of the City of Stratford (“City”), Township of Perth South (“Township”), and the County of Perth (“County”) in February, 2020 approved the proposed adjustments of their municipal boundaries to include within the City certain lands located in the Township and County.
The purpose of the annexation is to create new industrial lands in the City. The Councils of the City, Township and County have agreed to consider the proposed adjustment to the municipal boundaries and are seeking public input and comment. In July, 2020, the proposal was approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and a Minister's Zoning Order was also applied to certain lands. Both the Restructuring Order and the Minister's Zoning Order (MZO) are available for review below.
