Dashwood Fire Hall Project Approved By Residents

The Dashwood Fire Hall replacement project was approved through an Alternative Approval Process (AAP) that concluded on Friday, July 26, 2019. The AAP addressed two bylaws, the "Dashwood Fire Hall Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 1785, 2019" and " Dashwood Fire Hall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1789, 2019". The first bylaw establishes a fire protection service area within Electoral Areas F, G, and H and the second authorizes the borrowing of up to $4,000,000 (Four Million Dollars) to be repaid within 25 years in order to finance the fire hall replacement.

In accordance with Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval by AAP was obtained for this project when less than 10% of electors within the service area submitted an elector response form by the July 26, 2019 response deadline. Of an estimated 1,751 electors, 9 eligible response forms were received.
