🍂 UPDATE: Pilot Leaf Waste Pick Up Program Extended! 🍂

The Municipality of North Middlesex is pleased to announce an extension of the Pilot Leaf Waste Pick Up Program due to recent weather conditions, providing residents with an additional opportunity for curbside leaf collection this fall!

This pilot program is available to residential households in the urban areas of Parkhill, Ailsa Craig and Nairn. Please note that private streets and condominium corporations are not included in curbside collection.

📅 Updated Collection Dates

✅ NEW! November 2–6, 2026

📍 Ailsa Craig & Nairn:

Please rake leaves onto the boulevard or edge of your lawn before your scheduled collection period, NOT onto the street. Only leaves will be accepted curbside. Brush, weeds, garden material, rocks, wood and other debris should not be included. Please keep leaf piles clear of trees, signs, fire hydrants, electrical boxes and catch basins.

What a night at Ye Olde Towne Hall!

Cowboy hats, rhinestones, classic country, and a whole lot of heart! The Phantoms of the Opry brought the house down last night, filling the hall with the songs that bring back memories, stir emotions, and get those toes tapping.

By the end of the show, the audience wasn't ready to call it a night. The cries of “One more song!” said it all. You could feel just how much this music means to the people who came to hear it.

To Chris Hart and the entire Phantoms of the Opry band, thank you for a terrific show, a wonderful evening, and a reminder of why live music matters. You didn't just play the songs — you brought them to life.

And to everyone who came out to support live music at Ye Olde Towne Hall, thank you for making the evening so special.

What's it like to be Warden for a Day?

This week, three high school students from across Middlesex County found out firsthand. They joined Warden Sue Clarke for a full day at the County Administration Building exploring what it takes to lead, serve, and make a difference locally.

From watching a council meeting and getting a behind-the-scenes tour of the historic building, to job shadowing departments like Forestry, Middlesex County Library and the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service, the students experienced a true day in the life of County leadership.

They also joined Warden Clarke and County Councillors to discuss the challenges and rewards of serving the community and capped off the experience by observing an official Middlesex County Council meeting.

Thank you to for spending the day with us!
