What’s next: Closes October 23, 2026

The details

This is the first issue of a weekly OakvilleIQ list: the deadlines, closures and public meetings that fall in the next seven days, each with the Town or board notice behind it. It is deliberately short. Anything already reported on OakvilleIQ is linked at the foot of the page rather than retold here.
