Press Release: Township of Wellington North
WELLINGTON NORTH – On Monday, February 23, Wellington North Council approved the 2025 Year in Review publication for release to residents.
The 2025 Year in Review outlines the activities undertaken by the Township in its priority area of delivering core programs and services, as well as the priority areas established by the 2024 Strategic Plan: Shape and support sustainable growth; deliver quality, efficient community services aligned with the Township’s mandate and capacity; and enhance information sharing and participation in decision making.
The initiatives and accomplishments included in this document are the result of many different stakeholders working together to build a strong Wellington North. Throughout 2025, the Township maintained a forward-looking approach, working closely with the
community and staff to make progress on these priorities.
Some of the highlights of projects and initiatives that were completed in 2025 include:
- More than 700 spaces were offered through our Summer Day Camp program (Mount Forest, Arthur and Damascus).
- Completed the resurfacing of Main Street in Mount Forest, which included the installation of a pedestrian crossover at the intersection of Main Street South and King Street.
- Installation of a pedestrian crossover at the intersection of Queen Street East and Waterloo Street in Mount Forest.
- Wellington North Culture Days were held from September 20 to October 13.
- Wellington North Famers’ Market celebrated its 13th year of operation, with 2025 being the first year in a new location at 393 Parkside Drive, Mount Forest.
- Various upgrades at recreation facilities across the township.
- A 100% rating (for the 18th consecutive year) in the annual Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks inspection of the Arthur and Mount Forest drinking water system.

“It’s good to look back and remind ourselves of where we’ve come from and where we’re going. Thank you to staff and all of our partners for their outstanding efforts in delivering the services that make Wellington North a great community to be a part of,” said Mayor Andy Lennox. “The Year in Review is a useful tool for residents to understand what the Township of Wellington North is doing on an annual basis, and I encourage all residents to read the 2025 Year in Review.”
The 2025 Year in Review was developed to share some of the activities that have taken place in the last year, as well as to increase the level of accountability and transparency with the public. Reporting in this fashion is one way that the Township can demonstrate its commitment to providing a high level of service to the community while adding value and using resources responsibly.
