flag Lambton County may extend its 2021 moratorium on new community grants into 2026 due to financial strain.

flag Lambton County, Ontario, is poised to extend its moratorium on new capital grant requests from community groups into 2026, following a council motion citing ongoing financial pressures and economic challenges. flag The freeze, in place since 2021, may continue if approved in October, with the 2026 budget set for early February. flag While local hospitals and colleges previously could request funding, the moratorium remains despite opposition from Petrolia and Sarnia mayors who argue it hinders community access. flag The county’s 2024 budget was $283.7 million, with a 5.5% property tax increase, and $3.5 million set aside for existing grant commitments.
