Ontario Township Fauquier-Strickland to Shut Down Services Amid $2.5M Deficit.

Fauquier-Strickland, a small Ontario township, will cease all municipal services in August due to a $2.5-million operating deficit. To avoid a 190-230% property tax increase, which would triple most tax bills and potentially force families from their homes, the township is shutting down services. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has been requested to intervene, but no response has been received. All municipal employees will be laid off.
