Residents and permit holders are asked to not park overnight in the south spots of Lot A and if needed, use Lot B and Lot C while this work is being completed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation while this work is being completed.

It was a busy day in Sunderland! Great to see that we have reached this important milestone ⛸️ 🏒

Friday afternoon, members of the Board of Directors and residents of Maple Glen Seniors Apartments in Sunderland gathered to officially commission and cut the ribbon on the new permanent generator!

This project represents a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and perseverance by the Board, staff, residents, and everyone who helped bring this important initiative to life. Following the devastating ice storm of 2025, ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of Maple Glen residents became a priority—and today marks an important milestone in making that a reality.

This is a great example of what can be accomplished when a community comes together with a shared purpose. A special milestone for Maple Glen and, most importantly, for the residents who call it home.

UPDATE: BUDGET 2026- Included in this year's budget is a new playground replacement for Brock Park, home of the Ed Perry Memorial Soccer Fields.
