📍 Official Plan Work in Wellesley Road trip! President Joe Nethery and Senior Planner Emily Stanley headed to the Township of Wellesley to review OP edits line by line. The goal: supporting rural communities, protecting farmland, and smart housing growth. Have your say: engagewr.ca/official-plan

Two horses stand in a snowy field bordered by leafless trees. The scene is calm and rural, with soft morning light casting shadows on the snow.

⚠️ Is someone phishing in your inbox? Common lures: 🔹 “I have work for you.” 🔹 “Send your WhatsApp.” 🔹 “What’s your active number?” Scammers use triggers like urgency to catch you off guard. We’re seeing these real examples at Nethery Planning. Stay alert and report any suspicious emails!
