25th Anniversary

The Township of Southgate is celebrating its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century since establishment in 2000, following the amalgamation of the Township of Egremont, the Township of Proton, and the Village of Dundalk. This celebration provides an opportunity to honour the Township’s rich history, cultural heritage, and community spirit. Anniversary activities will commemorate this significant milestone through community engagement activities, bolstering established events, and distributing promotional merchandise.

Celebrate with us by participating in free community activities, which the Township is bolstering to make them bigger and better than ever!
