AND TAKE NOTICE that the Public Hearing will be regarding a transfer of municipal property located at 177 Lower Main Street (PID number 25500943) to the Oxford Community Centre Association for the establishment of a Community Centre.

It will be a place where local people can come together, share resources, and work towards a common goal of building a stronger and more vibrant community. The Centre will be a gathering place where friendships and social networks are built. It will serve as a neutral ground where people of all ages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses can meet, interact, and engage with each other.
Council will hear submissions in support or opposition to proposed transfer of land. Written submissions may be provided to the Chief Administrative Officer at 105 Lower Main Street, or by email to lcloney@oxfordns.ca no later than Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at 4:00 pm.
