“The Township of South Glengarry Infrastructure Services department maintains 390 km of roads and 11.6 km of sidewalks. County roads are maintained by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. Our prime objective with regards to road maintenance is meeting Provincial Maintenance Standards. We maintain this level of service with a combination of in-house and contract services.” In agricultural areas we are required to keep roadsides free of noxious weeds as per legislative requirement. One of the ways the Roads Department manages roadside vegetation is by mowing. We attempt to mow all our ditches from shoulder to the fence line (depending on steepness of the ditch and weather conditions) once a year. Mowing begins in May/June and finishes in October. Unfortunately, mowing alone will not control the noxious weeds.
Spraying is planned to occur from the edge of the gravel shoulder to approximately 1 metre from the fence line.

NO SPRAY SIGNS
If you do not want the ditches in front of your property to be sprayed, landowners must post ‘no spray’ signs at the start and finish of the property. The signs must be at least 1 foot by 2 feet in size and be easy to read from the shoulder of the road (about 3 feet from the edge of the gravel shoulder). Spraying is not planned if you mow the ditch in front of your property on a regular basis (if the roadside ditch is maintained similar to your front lawn).
PURPOSE OF ROADSIDE SPRAYING
Our Family Serving Yours
The Roads Department uses selective herbicides in order to help control the growth of undesirable vegetation. The contractor performing the work is licensed to apply herbicides and sprays very specific areas throughout the South Glengarry road system.

GLENGARRY ROUTES HERITAGE TOUR DISCOVER OUR ROOTS In 2017 the Townships of South and North Glengarry developed a joint Glengarry Routes Heritage Tour map. This collaborative project’s objective was to create a comprehensive list of heritage sites which were then developed into a historic tour. There’s a reason they call Glengarry Ontario’s Celtic Heartland, but don’t take our word for it! Come discover and explore Glengarry Routes - a heritage tour designed to guide you through the intriguing stories of Glengarry’s early settlers. Whether you take travel the St. Raphael or Lancaster Route, there’s something for everyone to discover in Ontario’s Celtic Heartland. Come discover Glengarry’s heritage and be charmed by what is best described as the “Glengarry Mystique.” ************ The Glengarry Routes logo combines the iconic shapes of a trillium and a heart intertwined to form a Celtic knot. The yellow roadway markings represent your geographic travels through our historic landscape where you will enjoy the stories of the pioneer families who settled here. 16 - 2021 SOUTH GLENGARRY SPRING/SUMMER COMMUNITY GUIDE

PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR TAXES
At the office you can always pay the Township by cash or cheque, but we also have a debit machine available (debit cards only). You can pay us by visiting your local bank if you have your tax bill. If you want to pay from the comfort of your home, you can log into your bank and add the Township as a payee and use your roll number (0101-00#-0##-#######) as your customer number. If you are up to date with your taxes and would like the Township to automatically withdraw money from your accounts, we can do so in two fashions: monthly withdrawals and withdrawals on tax due dates (last working day of March, May, August, and October).
E-BILLING OPTIONS
For more information, please visit the Township website. Automatic Payment is available on the due dates for water accounts. Bills can also be sent electronically.
PROPERTY TAXES, MUNICIPAL WATER AND SEWER
Property Taxes are the result of applying the tax rate to your assessment. The tax rate is deliberated on by your local Council and is based on the Township’s “Net Requirement”. The net requirement is all expenses less all revenues – the difference must be made up in taxes because municipalities are budget neutral. Your assessment is provided by MPAC and is based on overall market conditions on similar typed properties. If you wish to appeal your property assessment, please contact MPAC at 1-866-296-6722, or you can visit www.aboutmyproperty.ca
PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR PROPERTY TAXES, MUNICIPAL WATER AND SEWER BILLING
• Cheque, money order, cash or debit at the Township office • Post-dated cheque or money order in the mail • Bank by internet or phone (search for South Glen to add the Township as a biller on your bank site and the first 15 numbers of your roll number) • In person at most financial institutions • Automatic debit from your bank account (requires registration with the Township office) form available online at www.southglengarry.com

CHARITABLE DONATIONS
Did you know, there are four types of donations the Township of South Glengarry can issue a tax receipt for: 1. Cash If you donate cash to a South Glengarry project, the Township can issue a charitable receipt. 2. Service If you donate your service to the Township, a cheque exchange must occur. • You do the work • The Township pays you • You donate the money to the Township • The Township can issue you a charitable receipt 3. Non-Cash Gifts If you wish to have a charitable receipt issued for a non-cash gift, it must reflect the Fair Market Value (FMV). If the amount is less than $1,000, we’ll solicit a third party who is knowledgeable and qualified to determine the value. If the Township cannot determine the FMV, we cannot issue a receipt. FMV is the highest amount between informed, prudent, independent people in an open and unrestricted market between two willing participants. 4. Event When hosting an event where the proceeds go to the Township and the cost of running the event is 80% or less of the ticket value, the Township can issue a receipt. This is the most complicated type of donation and we encourage you to contact the municipal Treasurer.
LOTTERY LICENCES
The Township issues Lottery Licences to eligible charities with a prize value under $50,000. Proceeds from lotteries must be used for a charitable, educational, or religious object or purpose in the Province of Ontario. Prior to the issuance of a licence, the applicant must: • Submit proof of charitable status (first licence only); • Submit an Application Form; • Meet all Provincial terms and conditions, including financial reporting; • Provide any necessary documentation required by the Licensing Officer; and • Pay lottery licence fee Township staff review all Lottery Licence applications to determine specific eligibility. Please contact the Clerk at 613-347-1166 or by e-mail at clerk@southglengarry.com
