Elora Greenspace closing until early July

ELORA – A portion of the Elora Greenspace will be closed from June 16 until early July to allow for a planned improvements.

These upgrades were approved by council last September and staff are now moving forward with phase two of the enhancement project. Work will include:

– installation of oversized flagstone pads to create a dedicated space for Muskoka chairs;

– placement of oversized flagstone bases beneath existing garbage bins;

– removal and infill of the existing pond; and

– reinstallation of the iconic Tall Man statue.

Some of the work was accounted for in the budget, but the township signed a donation agreement with Kat Florence Canada Company Ltd., which has offered to cover the remaining $37,364.

Last September, when council approved the repairs, the project was to be complete by now. But a long, cold, wet spring and other priorities have put the project off by a few months.
