Chapleau Applying for Municipal Modernization Program Funding

Chapleau Town Council is seeking some provincial funding to modernize.

Council's approved plans to submit an expression of interest under the provincial government's "Municipal Modernization Program", which is intended to help Ontario municipalities conduct studies to improve efficiency.

Mayor Michael Levesque explains that - since the Township conducted a similar efficiency study a few years ago - Council is instead planning to focus on energy efficiency for this study.

Levesque says any potential major changes that the study recommends would need to be approved by Council.
