The Village of North Grove Council has been monitoring the developments approved by the RM of Dufferin along the north side of Buffalo Pound Lake. The Glamping and Buffalo Vista Estates are developments within the Boundaries of the RM. The Council of North Grove has no authority to regulate how these developments proceed as they are not in our community boundary lines.

 

The motion being referenced in the November 2018 minutes intent is to open discussion with the RM of Dufferin as to what the future plans of the construction of roadways within their boundaries are placed and how the newly approved development users will have roadway access from the provincial highways.
