Town of Collingwood Mayor Yvonne Hamlin, New Tecumseth Mayor Richard Norcross, Town of Collingwood CAO Sonya Skinner, John Goffredo, President, and Jesse House, Vice President, Project Development, Kenaidan Contracting Limited Canada met at the Mayor's office Wednesday morning to sign the following ceremonial letter of agreement:

After thorough discussions and negotiations, the Town of Collingwood and Town of New Tecumseth have reached a mutual agreement to proceed with the expansion of the Raymond A. Barker Water Treatment Plant, by awarding the construction contract to Kenaiden Contracting Ltd.

A recognized leader in the industry, Kenaidan provides general contracting, design-build, construction management, and preconstruction services to all sectors of the business world. 

This significant undertaking represents our shared commitment to ensuring the availability of clean safe water for our communities for many years to come.

This expansion is an essential and urgent project for Collingwood, New Tecumseth, and the surrounding area. Without this plant expansion, we will not be able to build new homes to meet provincial housing targets or support job creation with commercial and industrial growth. This agreement will immediately unlock the servicing of new development in New Tecumseth, and Collingwood will continue with development that is aligned with community values and at a volume that is in line with the healthy pace in recent years.
