Mayor's Message
On behalf of King Township Council, welcome to the December edition of the King Bulletin.
New term of Council
November 21 was a special day in Council chambers as the newly elected members of Council took the declaration of office for the 2022-2026 term.
I look forward to another productive term, working with Council and staff to deliver exceptional services and programs for the residents and businesses of King Township.
Kettleby Road Reconstruction Public Engagement Session
As part of King’s capital works road improvement program, the Township is planning to reconstruct a portion of Kettleby Road between Kettleby Bridge and the eastern limit of the community.
There will be an in-person Public Engagement Session held at Kettleby Anglican Church (292 Kettleby Rd.) on December 6 between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
At the session, staff will describe the project and provide residents with an opportunity to review current design alternatives under consideration, proposed schedules and provide feedback.
