Due to the upcoming Canada Day holiday, GFL has rescheduled the July 1st garbage and recycling collection to Monday, June 29, 2026.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

The Municipality of Central Manitoulin would like to advise residents of Mindemoya that the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be conducting annual spring main valve exercising and hydrant flushing from June 4th to June 6th, 2026.

During this time, residents may experience:

• Temporary low water pressure

This is a routine and necessary process to maintain the safety and quality of our drinking water system. The water is safe for consumption. If cloudy or discoloured water is noticed, residents are asked to run their taps for a few minutes until the water clears.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as this important maintenance is completed.
