Municipal Matters returns April 25 at the Davidson Centre

The Municipality of Kincardine is inviting residents and visitors to connect, ask questions, and stay informed through Municipal Matters - an ongoing series of informal, drop-in sessions where the public can learn about topics that matter to them and hear directly from municipal staff and members of Council. 

The next Municipal Matters session will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Miller Room at the Davidson Centre, as part of the Kincardine & District Chamber of Commerce Home & Lifestyle Show.

Municipal Matters provides a welcoming space to hear directly from staff and Council about municipal initiatives, services, and priorities, while also giving the community an opportunity to share feedback and help shape future conversations.

In support of this initiative, the Municipality has also launched a new Municipal Matters webpage. This page will serve as a central hub for information on upcoming sessions, topics, and schedules, as well as a record of past meetings.

Municipal Matters first launched in late 2025 with sessions in Tiverton and Kincardine focused on Blue Box recycling program changes. As the program continues, future sessions will be shaped by community input to reflect the issues that matter most to residents, businesses, and visitors.

Community members are encouraged to explore the Municipality’s Contact Us webpage to subscribe to news updates, sign up for newsletters, and find additional ways to stay engaged. What matters to you, matters to us.
