• The Township had issued a request for proposals for a swing set and accessible pathway to be installed outside the Oxtongue Lake Community Centre, however, the sole bid received was approximately $10,000 over budget. Council willl cancel the current RFP and proceed by way of informal request for quotation, reaching out directly to playground companies for quotations for providing and installing the swing set, in an attempt to bring the project to within approved budget.
