On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, Town of Ingersoll Mayor Ted Comiskey and South-West Oxford Mayor David Mayberry announced that the “Boundary Restructuring Order” has been officially signed by The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The approved Restructuring Order formalized the Boundary Agreement between both municipalities.
The agreement is in keeping with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and County of Oxford Official Plan which require growth and development be directed to designated settlement areas with an appropriate level of services.
