Mayor and Council

Springwater Council has a Mayor, Deputy Mayor and five ward Councillors. Residents throughout the entire municipality elect the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Councillors are elected by the ward they represent.

Council meetings are regularly scheduled on the first and third Wednesday of the month (with the exceptions of July, August and December) and special council meetings can occur at other times.

Council discretionary funds

The Council Discretionary Funds Policy provides each member of Council an annual allotment of up to $4,000 to support eligible recipients for community initiatives, including events, programs, projects, activities, services or causes, which in the opinion of Council would be meaningful, beneficial and worthwhile to residents of their ward or the Township as a whole. The funds will not be available or carried forward in a municipal election year. Any request for funds will be considered and approved by Council as a whole.
