At the last Council meeting, the elected representatives adopted the regulatory framework, which includes the obligation for non-residents to have their boats washed before each stay on Brome Lake. Residents of Brome Lake who own a boat will be able to obtain a vignette to have their boat cleaned free of charge, if they have previously sailed on another body of water. If the boat is used only on Brome Lake, an exemption will be issued. Please note, however, that the effective date is still unknown! We'll let you know the details as soon as possible. Stay tuned! | | Housing Policy: Thank You for Your Participation! Last Wednesday, over a hundred of you attended an information session on a forthcoming housing policy. Thank you for your participation! Couldn't make it? Between now and May 31, visit this page to watch the presentation video and give us your feedback. | Beach Opening Soon! Mark Saturday, June 15 on your calendar as the official opening of Douglass Beach for the new season! Following this first opening weekend (June 15 and 16), the beach will be open 7 days a week for the high season, from June 22 to mid-August, depending on the availability of our lifeguards. In the meantime, we strongly recommend that you bring your Citizen Parking Pass*, which gives you access to the Douglass Beach and Tiffany Park parking lots at all times. This pass must be renewed every year. If you still don't have your 2024 pass, now's the time! Pick up your parking pass at Town Hall at a cost of $5 per licence plate.

Starting in June, visitors to our renowned public market will enjoy a whole new experience! The summer rendezvous is returning to its former site at 48 Maple Street, but in a space that has been completely redesigned to better accommodate our producers and visitors. Work currently underway will : - create an enlarged entrance with a two-way lane
- install a 30-space gravel parking lot
- install dry toilets
- create an access road for the exclusive use of producers
- create a picnic area for market users
- create a central paved area, including the reuse of former permanent structures and the possibility of installing removable structures (such as promotional tents).
- access to the market via the Coldbrook Trail
And that's not all! Here are some other improvements to come in a second phase: - construction of a wooden staircase to facilitate entry to the site
- creation of a forest embankment
- construction of a children's playground

This does not, however, put an end to collaboration with our neighbour in other areas, notably prevention. Mr. Robinson, who will take office on May 27, will have carte blanche to determine what happens next. Thank you to the Town of Sutton for the years of partnership! | | SCAOPI Knowlton Road On May 6, 2024, the Council adopted the Distinct Draft Project of a Specific Construction, Alteration or Occupancy Proposals for an Immovable (SCAOPI) for lot 4 266 078, Knowlton Road. During the meeting, the Town Clerk announced May 31 as the date for the register concerning this project. Subsequently, the owner asked the Town not to proceed with the register on May 31. A new date for the register will be announced shortly. | | Shredding Day + Electronics Collection This weekend (Saturday, May 18) is shredding and electronics recycling day!

In May, we invite you to let your lawn grow so that pollinators can enjoy the spring flowers. The Town will do the same on many of its properties. Did you know that? Pollinators support the reproduction of nearly 75% of our food crops and around 85% of flowering plants. Bees, bumblebees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators do us a great service— let's help them do their job! Wait until June to mow your lawn, and only mow every two weeks thereafter. | Once again this year, we invite you to come visit the market our young entrepreneurs have prepared! They will have the opportunity to run their own booths at Coldbrook Park on June 1 to sell their products. A unique and enriching experience!
