Do you know the difference between yellow, orange, and red weather alerts?

Do you know the difference between yellow, orange, and red weather alerts? Colour-coded weather alerts tell you the risk level of damage or health impacts from incoming weather.

Yellow = hazardous weather; the most common
Orange = severe weather; uncommon
Red = very dangerous weather; rare

Golden Leaf Agrivoltaics Project
Project Introduction – Golden Leaf Agrivoltaics Project
About the Project
Golden Leaf Agrivoltaics Inc., a 50/50 partnership between the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation and Compass Greenfield Development Inc., is proposing the development of the Golden Leaf Agrivoltaics Project. The proposed site is located on private land in the Township of Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark County. The site spans two privately owned parcels generally bounded by Drummond Concession 1 and Churchill Road. Please see the attached Figure 1 for the project map.
If approved, the facility would be a Class 3 ground-mounted solar facility with a capacity of up to 9.0 megawatts alternating current (MW AC). The project is being designed using an agrivoltaics approach, which would incorporate sheep grazing as a natural vegetation management strategy. This approach would allow the land to continue supporting agricultural use while also generating clean electricity.
Upcoming Open House
Golden Leaf Agrivoltaics Inc. will be hosting an Open House in the area to share information about the project, display site maps, and answer questions in person.
Location: Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244, 26 Beckwith Street E, Perth, ON, K7H 1B5 Date: July 22, 2026 Time: 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
In the meantime, we invite you to visit the project website at https://goldenleafagrivoltaics.ca/ to learn more, review project documents as they become available, and join the digital mailing list.

Avoid the bugs – and their bite!

Most of us know to practice sun safety during the summer, but sometimes we forget to protect against bug bites. Warm temperatures are just as appealing to insects as they are to Ontarians ready to leave a long winter behind.

Prevent Lyme disease and avoid bug bites this summer with these tips and tricks!
• Cover up – wear light, long, loose clothing
• Tuck shirts into pants and pants into shoes to prevent insects such as ticks from crawling on skin
• Use insect repellant that contains DEET
• Shower and wash clothing after being outdoors
• Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors
• Always do a thorough check for ticks after being outside
