General News

The Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal is committed to keeping residents informed and engaged. In addition to fulfilling all statutory advertising requirements—such as signage, mailings, and/or newspaper ads—this webpage serves as an extra resource to keep you informed about public meetings and open houses, at which you can learn more about a local initiative, provide feedback, and participate in the decision-making process.

Public meetings

A public meeting is a formal gathering where information is presented and feedback is shared on specific topics such as planning applications. These meetings may be required by legislation or simply initiated by Council. They provide an opportunity for residents to share concern or show support before decisions are made. These meetings are structured and it is recommended that you arrive at the meeting start time.

If there is an appeal period following a decision, the link will remain here until the appeal period has ended. Public meetings are also shared on our Council Calendar, where you can find meeting agendas, minutes and a video link to watch online. If you'd like to participate virtually in a public meeting, please contact our Clerk.

July 23, 2025; minor variance A-07-25 (battery energy storage system)

A public meeting will be held by the Committee of Adjustments at 4:00 p.m. on July 23 in Council Chambers at 18 Centre Street, Spencerville.

The purpose and effect of minor variance application A-07-25, is for a development which will straddle two properties on Dobbie Road. A variance is requested to reduce the minimum interior side yard setback in the Rural (RU) zone in Zoning By-Law Number 2022-37, to permit structures related to the proposed battery storage facility to be located 1.2 metres to the shared property line on both properties. The reduction in the minimum side yard setback requirement will only be applied to the proposed area of development and not along the entire property line.

For additional information about this application, review the full public notice.

To learn more about this project, visit our Skyview 2 Battery Energy Storage System page.

Open Houses

An open house is a more informal opportunity to learn about Township projects, proposals, or policies. You can drop in to review information, speak with staff, and ask questions.

When open houses are scheduled, they will be listed here.
