Honouring the 25th Anniversary of the Amalgamation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Banner<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2001, the Town of Meaford, the Township of St. Vincent, and the Township of Sydenham were brought together as one municipality. This change happened through Ontario\u2019s municipal restructuring process, creating a single community with shared services and governance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, we are celebrating 25 years since that amalgamation. Throughout the year, we will reflect on the history of the former townships and honour how they shaped the community we know today. We are also highlighting the villages and hamlets that make the Municipality of Meaford what it is today, while looking ahead to building our shared future together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
