Enhanced Monitoring of Pinkerton Flooding

Extensive flooding is occurring in Pinkerton due to a breach of a privately-owned dyke. The Municipality of Brockton is continuing to coordinate with external agencies, including the County of Bruce, Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources and other Provincial agencies. 

The Municipality remains in an Enhanced Monitoring State, with the Municipal Emergency Control Group meeting regularly to assess conditions and coordinate response efforts. Municipal crews continue to conduct daily site inspections, ongoing monitoring, and maintain regular communications with the affected residents.

Residents are strongly advised to avoid the area and refrain from accessing closed roads as roadways may be compromised. Due to elevated water levels and limited access to the site, repairs will take time.

The Municipality will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves.

Strategic Action Plan Reports

On December 14, 2021, Council provided the final approval for the adoption of the 2021-2025 Strategic Action Plan. The Action Plan translated broad community goals and strategies from the 2013 plan into specific initiatives for staff. The plan considered changes in the community as it related to COVID-19 as well as labour force challenges, housing market, population demographics and opportunities to newcomers. Staff wanted to ensure priorities were clear so staff could continue to deliver high-quality services efficiently and effectively to Brockton residents and businesses. The process we went through involved input from Council, staff at all levels, residents, businesses, industry and the agriculture sector. After gathering this input, the Action Plan was created to see results that aligned with the communities’ priorities.

The Strategic Action Plan focused on the priorities of the municipality from 2021 to 2025 and actions to
achieve specific goals. Brockton's Strategic Action Plan provided direction for the municipality on the services it delivers locally. It was also a template for the community as a whole - one that businesses, service clubs, institutions, organizations and residents were invited and encouraged to use, as they helped to shape our vision.

Stakeholders can find the full Strategic Action Plan 2021-2025 using the link provided, and the updates below.

The final 2021-2025 Strategic Plan update was provided on March 10th, 2026. 

What's Next?

With the completion of the 2021-2025 Strategic Action Plan, staff have shifted focus to the Housing Strategy. For more information on this strategy, please visit the Housing Strategy Page. 

But staff will be launching a new Strategic Plan in 2027 for the next few years, so stay tuned for updates and engagement opportunities.
