TOWNSHIP OF LAIRD
REPORT TO COUNCIL
Date: April 2, 2026
To: Mayor Evoy and Council
From: Jennifer Errington, Clerk Administrator
Subject: Private and Unmaintained Roads
Background/Overview
At the March 19, 2026 Council meeting, Council passed motion 58-26, moved by Brad Shewfelt and seconded by Matt Frolick:
“BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council direct staff to update the report on private and unmaintained roads with updated information related to MPAC and grant subsidies.”
Carried.
Council previously received a report on private roads on June 15, 2023, which outlined yearly costs and discounted assessments. Council did not provide direction on the recommendations contained in that 2023 report.
This updated report reflects 2025 tax rates and assessment values.
Road Association Grants – 2025 Yearly Costs and Discounted Assessments:
| Road | Yearly Cost (Grant Amount) $ | Discounted Assessment $ |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Nose Drive | 1,008.20 | 1,060.69 |
| Finns’ Bay Road South | 1,336.18 | 3,193.18 |
| Maskinonge Bay | 2,455.62 | 6,571.42 |
Note on Discounted Assessments
Properties located on private or unassumed roads receive a 8 - 10% discounted assessment under MPAC valuation rules. This discount reflects the reduced level of municipal service available to those properties. While this results in lower taxation revenue for the Township, the Road Association Grant Program has historically operated independently of the assessment discount. Council may wish to consider the relationship between the discounted assessment and the grant program as part of its review of this long-standing practice.
History
The June 15, 2023 report did not include background on the origins of the Road Association Grant Program. Staff reviewed available records to provide context.
At the October 3, 1990 Council meeting, Council passed the following motion:
#204-90
Moved by: Terry Shewfelt
Seconded by: Harry Lapish
“That Council grant McCarrel/Cloudy Lake Road Association, Blue Nose Drive Road Association, Finns’ Bay Road East Road Association, and Reids’ Road East Road Association grants in the amounts of $700.00, $400.00, $600.00 and $300.00, respectively, upon signing an acknowledgement regarding same, pursuant to Section 113 of the Municipal Act.”
Carried.
Older minutes are not digitized, and retrieving detailed information from each year would require extensive manual review. Digital records beginning in 2007 show both the roads included and the total budget for Road Association Grants:
| Year | Roads Included | Total Budget $ |
|---|---|---|
| 2007 | Blue Nose, Cloudy/McCarrel Lake, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 3,600 |
| 2008 | Blue Nose, Cloudy/McCarrel Lake, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 3,800 |
| 2009 | Blue Nose, Cloudy/McCarrel Lake, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,000 |
| 2010 | Blue Nose, Cloudy/McCarrel Lake, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,500 (Cloudy received more) |
| 2011 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,200 |
| 2012 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,200 |
| 2013 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,500 |
| 2014 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,500 |
| 2015 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,500 |

| 2017 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2018 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2019 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2020 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2021 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2022 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2023 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2024 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
| 2025 | Blue Nose, Finns’ Bay Road South, Maskinonge | 4,800 |
From 2007 to 2010, four roads received funding, including Cloudy/McCarrel Lake. In 2011, a portion of Cloudy Lake Road was brought up to municipal standards and taken over by the Township, so it was removed from the Road Association Grant Program. This explains the reduction in the total grant amount in 2011 , followed by gradual increases in subsequent years that appear to reflect inflationary adjustments rather than the addition of new roads.
Council has consistently supported the Road Association Grant Program since 1990, with the total allocation increasing from $2,000 in 1990 to $4,800 in recent years. Increases appear to have been made during annual budget deliberations. A more comprehensive history would require digitizing older minutes and budgets.
Current Practice
Although no formal written policy exists, a consistent procedure has been followed:
- Budget approval: Council approves the annual budget allocation for Road Association Grants.
- Allocation calculation: The Treasurer determines each road association’s share of the total grant based on:
the distance (length) of the road, and
o
the total assessed value of the properties on that road. These two
o
factors are used to calculate each road’s proportionate share of the budgeted grant amount.
- Acknowledgement: Before funds are released, the Road Association Chair and Secretary/Treasurer must sign an acknowledgement form. The acknowledgement includes several important statements, including:
that receipt of the funds does not cause the road to be considered
o
maintained by public funds , that the Township makes no commitment of future grants or funding ,
o
and that the Township assumes no liability for how the funds are used or for
o
any improvements made with the funds. The form also confirms that the individuals signing have the authority to bind their respective road association.
The acknowledgement currently references the Municipal Act, 1990 , which should be updated to reference the Municipal Act, 2001, Section 107 .
Insurance Considerations
The Township’s insurance provider was consulted in 2023 regarding private and
unassumed roads. Updated insurance information has not been obtained for this report.
From a strictly insurance-related perspective at that time, the following comments were provided:
a) Performing any maintenance on an unassumed road allowance places an ongoing obligation on the Township to continue that maintenance.
b) If the Township has no intention of bringing an unassumed road up to municipal standard or assuming it, risk can be mitigated by installing appropriate signage indicating that users travel at their own risk. Legal counsel should advise on proper wording.
c) For private roads, the Township has no obligation to maintain private property. Signage such as “Private Road – No Maintenance by the Township” may be appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION
Given that the Road Association Grant Program has been in place since 1990 and has consistently been supported by Council for more than three decades, staff recommend that Council consider an increase to the annual Road Association Grant allocation. Although the acknowledgement form states that the Township makes no commitment to future funding, the long-standing practice demonstrates Council’s recognition of the importance of these roads being maintained and remaining open year-round for residents, emergency services, and service providers.
The current grant amount of $4,800 has not been increased since 2016 . To reflect the long-term nature of the program and the increasing costs associated with road maintenance, staff recommend an increase in the range of 10% to 15% , adjusting the annual allocation to:
- 10% increase: $5,280
- 15% increase: $5,520
Staff further recommend that Council direct staff to develop a formal Road Association Grant Policy , to be adopted by by-law, to ensure transparency, consistency, and clarity for both Council and the road associations.
In addition, based on the insurance guidance received in 2023, staff recommend that Council direct staff to ensure that appropriate signage is installed and maintained on all unassumed and private roads , indicating that users travel at their own risk and that the Township does not provide maintenance on these roads. Legal counsel should be consulted for proper wording.
Recommended Resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED THAT that the report from the Clerk regarding Private and Unmaintained Roads be received; and
THAT Council approve an increase to the annual Road Association Grant allocation to an amount between $5,280 and $5,520, in recognition of the long-standing nature of the program and the importance of ensuring that private and unassumed roads remain maintained and accessible year-round;
AND THAT Council direct staff to develop a formal Road Association Grant Policy, including calculation methodology, eligibility criteria, and acknowledgement requirements, to be brought forward in a by-law for Council approval.
AND FURTHER THAT Council direct staff to ensure appropriate signage is installed and maintained on all unassumed and private roads, indicating that the Township does not provide maintenance and that users travel at their own risk, with legal counsel to advise on appropriate wording.
