Regular Council Meeting (Aug. 10)
Council met with a consent agenda containing minutes from advisory committees and external boards, monthly departmental reports, and correspondence. All items were procedural, with no discussion items or financial decisions requiring separate debate unless a councillor requested removal from the consent agenda.

Sports Hall of Fame Committee (Aug 12)
The committee discussed fundraising for the MURC and Sports Hall of Fame, a new banner for George Curry Park, plaque updates (noting Tillsonburg plaques cost about $50 each), and reviewed 2026 induction nominations and criteria.
Safe Cycling Committee (Aug 12)
Agenda items included an update on a 2027 budget motion to Council for line painting on North Townline and Clarke Road West, bike racks for Victoria Park, a Bronze Bike Friendly Community application, and the committee's remaining 2026 budget.
