Simcoe North MPP Jill Dunlop recently joined Tiny Mayor David Evans and staff to celebrate the installation of 13 accessible, water-fill stations at popular municipal parks, facilities and beaches throughout the township.
This project was made possible thanks to a $113,700 Capital grant awarded in 2022 by the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation.
“This project, made possible by the generous support of the province through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, will enhance this community's public spaces and promote health and well-being,” Dunlop said.
The water-fill stations can now be found at Balm Beach, Bernie LeClair Park trailhead, Bluewater Beach, Jackson Park, Lafontaine Beach, Lafontaine Park, Tiny Township Community Centre, Toanche Park, Woodland Beach, Wyebridge Park, Wyevale Park and the Wyevale soccer pitches.
“We’re thrilled to see the accessible water fill stations operating throughout our community,” Evans said.
“This project aligns with the township ongoing commitment to being a Blue Community by making clean drinking water easily accessible to the public which also helps to reduce single use plastics.
“On behalf of the township, I want to thank the province and Ontario Trillium Foundation for making this project a reality.”
