2026-10-28 Monthly Village Commission Meeting

The Chester Village Commission's Oct 28th Monthly Meeting agenda and agenda package are now available here: https://villageofchesterns.ca/2026-10-21-monthly-village-commission-meeting.html

The meeting will be held in-person at 63 Regent Street and over livestream at 6:00 pm. Everyone is welcome.

Items of interest to the public include: A discussion on deer population control, capital project updates, and financial updates including a budget variance (status) report for the first half of the 2026/27 fiscal year. We've even had a very, very small ask from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (which still amounts to a teeny-tiny microscopic piece of Dolly's legacy, so we love that for us)!
