Description

In January 2013, following receipt of a sufficient petition from electors of the Village of Clyde requesting that a dissolution study be undertaken for the village, the Minister of Municipal Affairs advised that a study would proceed in the form of a viability review led by a viability team. In October 2014, an Initial Findings Report was released. The information compiled in the Initial Findings Report and comments gathered from stakeholders were reviewed and analyzed. As a result of this analysis, the viability review team has determined that the Village of Clyde is trending towards non-viability. The viability review team will follow this report by developing options that will allow Clyde to become viable in the long-term. Residents will be informed of project updates and further stakeholder engagement will take place once the Viability Plan is drafted.
