Town Hall to Reopen on October 8

Construction is now complete at Lakeshore’s newly-renovated Town Hall, and the building will reopen to residents and visitors on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 8:30 AM.

The renovated space improves the visitor experience by expanding frontline customer service areas. The renovation also added an accessible washroom, meeting room, and office space for Lakeshore staff.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience throughout the renovation, and I know we’re all excited to get back to Town Hall,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “Throughout construction, Lakeshore staff have provided high-quality customer service to our residents and visitors. As we head back to Town Hall, we expect that great service to continue!”

Starting October 8, the following services will return to Town Hall (419 Notre Dame Street, Belle River):

• Revenue Services (property tax and water billing, payments, account inquiries)

• Planning & Building Services (planning/zoning applications, building permits, inspections)

• Legislative Services (marriage and lottery licensing, FOI requests)

All services will be accessible from the main Town Hall entrance at the corner of 8^th Street and Notre Dame. A Public Service Representative will be located at the main entrance to respond to inquiries and direct visitors to service windows.

Lakeshore's By-law Division will continue to operate out of the Atlas Tube Recreation Centre. Residents may request an appointment with a By-law Officer or submit a complaint through the Public Service Unit for follow-up by an Officer. Please note that anonymous submissions will not be accepted.

Lakeshore’s Public Service Unit (PSU) is the municipality’s front line of customer service. The PSU is available in-person (at Town Hall and the Atlas Tube Recreation Centre) as well as by phone (519-728-2700) and email (PublicService@Lakeshore.ca).
