On behalf of my council colleagues and staff It is with great pleasure that i welcome you to the Township of Whitewater Region web site.
I am sure you will find our web site informative, accessible, and easy to use, providing you with information about our township and the services it offers. I encourage you to visit our web site regularly to follow the changes as they take place within our community.
As of February 12, 2015 all our meetings in public are video taped and available on our web site within the week following each meeting.
Our township is a prosperous growing community that offers a wide range of year round family activities, excellent schools and recreational activities, business opportunities and economic benefits.
We have world class kayaking both white water and flat water, whitewater river tours and recreational boating. We have some of the best farm land and farmers in the world giving our community a great strength.
We have golf, ball fields, covered and out door arenas, a museum, snowmobile trails linked with 20 thousand kms of ontario trails, many campsites, and scenery that will make you want to return with your family again and again or come to stay.
As we promote growth we are committed to improving a strong infrastructure and protecting our environment.
I extend my personal invitation to come and visit our beautiful township and meet our great people. To our residents, thank you for taking an active part in our community. Our volunteers are our strength.
