The Municipality of Brockton is closed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, 2025 in recognition of Remembrance Day, and our office reopens on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. 

Brockton Council has cancelled the Tuesday, October 28, 2025 Council Meeting and will meet again on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. at the Bruce County Council Chambers and electronically on Zoom/eScribe.

Brockton Council will be considering proposed changes to the Municipality’s Building Permit Fees. The rationale for increasing these fees and creating the new flat fee is due to a recent review of the Municipality’s Building Permit Fees conducted in October 2025. The last review was completed in 2019. Due to expected expenditure increases over the next five years, Council is considering increasing the per square foot rate for new agricultural and commercial/industrial/institutional building permits. Council is also considering addressing a gap in Brockton’s current fee structure by creating a new flat fee for solar panel building permits. A Public Meeting will be held prior to the Council Meeting on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the Bruce County Council Chambers (30 Park Street, Walkerton).
