Iroquois WWTP moving steadily ahead

December 28, 2011 Editor News

 

The Iroquois Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade will be moving ahead now that a construction contract has been approved.

At the December 20th South Dundas council meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Stephen McDonald submitted the recommendation that J.C. Sulpher Construction Ltd. be awarded the contract with their tendered bid of $12,299,808 excluding HST.

The bid was one of seven received, coming in at $176,792 lower than the second lowest bid.  AECOM reviewed all bids and recommended J.C. Sulpher Construction Ltd. to the Ontario Clean Water Agency, who, in turn, agreed and passed on the recommendation to South Dundas council.

In addition to being the lowest bid, J.C. Sulpher Construction Ltd. also provided excellent references, which included work done on the Morrisburg Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Councillor Jim Graham added his recommendation saying, “I’m glad to see Sulpher back. They did a fantastic job.”

Artifacts and art now on display at SDMC

January 28, 2015 Editor News

Pieces from the War of 1812 are now featured at the Morrisburg Visitor Information Centre located on the main floor of the South Dundas Municipal Centre. 

The display was created with the assistance of local history enthusiast and Carman House Museum Chair Murray Richer.

The War of 1812 is a significant part of local history. The Battle of Crysler’s Farm was fought east of Morrisburg and ended the American campaign east, ensuring British control of the vital St. Lawrence River waterway. The War of 1812 ended in 1815, with 2015 marking the 200th anniversary of the end of the battle.

Some of the featured pieces include:

• A Cannon Ball: Found at Iroquois Point during the construction of the Seaway Locks

• End of a Polearm: Found on Toussaint Island

• A Medical Kit

The addition of this display case compliments an initiative already underway to display local art on the walls of the lobbies in the South Dundas Municipal Centre. Currently, works showcase everything from abstract art to local scenes such as ships passing through the former Canal system. 

“Our community has a strong connection to its local history” said Mayor Evonne Delegarde. “We are fortunate to display pieces that connect to our past, and showcase the work of current local artists at the South Dundas Municipal Centre.”

Art, currently on display, include works of Terrie Chedore, Elsie Gallinger, Colonel Montgomery, Sharon Montgomery and Kharla Ward.

The Municipality is now accepting submissions from artists wishing to participate in the June to December 2015 cycle of the SDMC art hanging program.
