The Township of Centre Wellington would like to remind residents of facility hours of operation throughout the holidays.

Changes to the Ontario Fire Code related to carbon monoxide are coming into effect on January 1, 2026. Currently, the law for Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms in Ontario states that you must have one alarm on the floors of the home you sleep on in houses with any fuel-burning appliances (wood, gas, propane) and an attached garage.

Join us at Belwood Hall on December 3 at 7:00 PM for an update on the Belwood Hall Renovation. Explore the latest project developments, the key milestones ahead, and the meaningful ways you can get involved.

Due to some renovations at the Elora Mews extending to November 6, we have had to postpone our November 6 Coffee with the Mayor session at the Lost and Found Café.
