Hasty Tract

The Township of Springwater intends to purchase a portion of land currently owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) located at 1132 Snow Valley Road. The property is also known as the "Hasty Tract".

About the project

We need land to build a new community hub in the municipality's south service area. Facilities under consideration include:

• The relocation of Fire Station 2 and a new fire training area 
• A multi-purpose recreational complex, with arena/rink(s)
• A library and flexible space for meetings, storage, or other activities
• Land for Springwater's future needs

The first facility proposed is a fire station. The remainder of the proposed development will be phased to meet the needs of the community. See the conceptual site plan for details. 

The land proposed for purchase by the Township is located on the east half of the property (approximately 40 to 50 acres).
