Since January 2025, the Town of Saugeen Shores has received several harassment complaints filed by Town staff involving non-employees. The Town takes these matters very seriously.  

It is with deep sadness that the Town of Saugeen Shores acknowledges the passing of former Southampton Mayor Lloyd Hale.

The Town of Saugeen Shores invites you to engage with us as we evaluate ways to expand the Port Elgin Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) located at 123 Lehnen Street, Saugeen Shores, ON. The Port Elgin WPCP services the community of Port Elgin which is the largest urban community in Saugeen Shores. The Town of Saugeen Shores’s 2020 Masterplan studies have identified the need for a Schedule “C” Class EA to review alternatives for the Port Elgin WPCP to meet the future 2053 capacity needs for treatment of sanitary sewage generated in the community of Port Elgin.   

The Town of Saugeen Shores is updating the Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan for the communities of Port Elgin and Southampton. The Master Plan was last updated in 2020 and since that time, the Town has experienced significant residential and non-residential growth. The water system also services our neighbours in the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation (SON). The update to the Master Plan will involve a review of existing water treatment, distribution, storage infrastructure, sanitary and sewage collection and treatment infrastructure. The study will also include a review of future growth forecasts and potential future water and wastewater servicing requirements to 2044 as they relate to key infrastructure. Upon completion, the Master Plan will serve as a strategic document for the continued provision of water and wastewater services that will integrate with other major planning, development, and financing plans and policies. The Master Plan will also identify recommended projects and outline estimated timelines or triggers for implementation.

In accordance with 2.6 (a)  of the Procedural By-law, the Town of Saugeen Shores is advising the public that the March 17, 2025, Council (Planning) Meeting is cancelled.
