📣The Village's voluntary vegetation management program now available for private property owners.
===
🏡If you're a Village of Lytton property owner (especially if you live outside of the community), you may wish to sign up.

The new program allows property owners to pay a $200 annual fee for 2–3 scheduled visits by Village staff to cut grass, trim around structures, fences, and barriers, and reduce vegetation on their lots.

The program aims to reduce fire hazards on private properties, while supporting compliance with the Village's bylaws.

While the water was shut down at the Parish Hall, there was a great turnout for Coffee with Mayor & Council, which was moved to the Village Office.
