Privately Maintained Road Grant
Georgian Bluffs offers grants of up to $2,500 every two years to help residents maintain privately managed roads within the Township. These roads, such as Mallard Street, Ivy Drive, parts of Francis Drive, and Shepherd Lake Road, are not maintained by the Township and rely on residents for upkeep. The grant program is designed to offset the costs of road maintenance for residents who access seasonal or year-round properties via these roads.
