Haldimand council met in committee on May 2. Here are some highlights.
PORT MAITLAND CAMERA, BYLAW ENFORCEMENT HERE FOR SUMMER
Victoria Day weekend has arrived and, with it, new summer bylaw enforcement recruits who will patrol various county hot spots, including Port Maitland until Labour Day. The county was needing consistent internet and, with fibre optic cables being installed, staff are left waiting for the equipment to install a live-feed camera. They are also reviewing parking initiatives for the hamlet.
