a very modern hospital, and it’s helping develop and train doctors and nurses and other healthcare practitioners.” LOOKING AHEAD As North Dundas looks to the future, its focus remains on advocating for rural support and continuing to encourage growth, de Haan emphasizes the township’s efforts to secure funding to offset the costs of its infrastructure projects, aiming to minimize the financial burden on residents and businesses.“We’re very cognizant that the more funding we can get, the better it is for the users that pay for the services. These costs also impact development, because those fees play into the financial calculation of building.” Fraser points out the importance of staff efforts in overcoming challenges and ensuring sustainable development.“Ongoing advocacy for support in our rural areas is one of the key components we need to continue,” he maintains.“But another key goal is that we continue our efforts to find ways to encourage growth in North Dundas.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n A.L.
