Uplands Streetlights

The District acknowledges that recent construction has impacted the streetlight system, resulting in damage to existing wiring and causing outages on Beach Drive and Exeter Road. Locating the source of the damage has been challenging; however, we have expedited the commissioning of the new lighting system. The new lights on Beach Drive and Exeter Road are scheduled to be operational by December 4, 2025. We appreciate your patience as we work to restore safe and reliable lighting in the area.

Ripon Road Temporary Stockpile

April 30, 2025 -- A new temporary soil stockpile location is needed to accommodate archaeological screening of soils identified along Beach Drive. The Ripon Road cul-de-sac has been identified as a preferred location, approved by the province.

This stockpile is expected to be in place, starting May 1, for six to eight weeks (dependent on finds). Measures will be taken by the contractor to limit environmental impacts including dust and runoff.

• Access will be maintained for local resident traffic, driveway access only.
• Access to the Yacht Club will not be impacted.
