GOVERNMENT NOTICES

The Township of Armour has designated the week of May 18 - 24, 2025 as National Public Works Week. Public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and to the public health, high quality of life and well-being of the people of Ontario.

We are pleased to announce that June 6 has been officially declared Hope Air Day across Canada. Hope Air Day is a national awareness initiative dedicated to ensuring that all Canadians, regardless of income or location, have access to the medical care they need. The initiative raises awareness about the critical role of Hope Air, a charitable organization that provides free air travel for individuals who must travel long distances to access medical care. Hope Air helps remove financial and logistical barriers to healthcare, making it possible for Canadians to receive treatment and care in a timely manner, even when they live in remote or underserved areas. By shining a light on this vital service, Hope Air Day encourages greater support for those facing travel-related challenges to accessing life-saving and life-changing medical treatments. We invite all Canadians to take part in supporting this important cause by spreading awareness, making donations, or volunteering. Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind when it comes to essential healthcare. For more information on how you can get involved, visit www.hopeair.ca
