The funding is being delivered through the Municipal Modernization Program and will support the Township of North Dundas Council Meeting Digitization project.
“The COVID‑19 pandemic has accelerated the need to deliver programming more efficiently so that people can access the services they need when they need them,”said Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont‑Dundas‑South Glengarry.
“These projects will ensure that our community will benefit from innovative and streamlined solutions in a way that will positively impact services and save taxpayers’ dollars.”
Ontario is providing up to $24 million to support the modernization of 224 small and rural municipalities across the province. A total of 254 projects will receive funding under Intake 2 of Ontario’ Municipal Modernization Program.
Municipalities will use the funding to find efficiencies and implement a wide range of initiatives to digitize, streamline and/or integrate programs and services with neighbouring communities.
The funding will also help municipalities administer the cost saving measures in time for the 2022 municipal budget cycle.
