Closing this week in Oakville, October 20 to 26: the voters' list, Bronte Beach Park, a pool, two roads and Election Day
Seven days of deadlines and closures: voters' list changes end Friday at noon, Glen Abbey pool shuts for a day, Bronte Beach Park closes for the boat lift, Margaret Drive reopens, and Monday brings Election Day, the first leaf pickup and a parade cut-off.
- Before Monday: How to vote in Oakville's 2026 election.
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.
