On April 24, 2026, Alto successfully completed the first round of early engagement marking the end of one of the most extensive public consultation initiatives ever conducted in Canada. The input gathered from the public, stakeholders and municipalities will inform the next phase of the project and a report of what was heard during this consultation will be published this summer. In the meantime, a brief summary of the engagement activities and participation can be found here.
During the early project engagement, many concerns were heard from rural communities across the corridor. In response to these concerns, Alto has published their commitment to rural communities that includes how they will:
- prioritize negotiated agreements
- offer fair, long-term compensation
- preserve road access and movement, and
- support agricultural productivity and development.

Subject Lands: Lots 22-42, Plan 27M107 Lot 7, Concession 1, Drummond
Public Meeting Date: May 12, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
THE PURPOSE OF THE BY-LAW IS to amend the Township of Drummond/North Elmsley Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2012-060 to remove the holding provision from the subject lands. The removal of the Holding (h) symbol will permit the development of Phase 2 of the subdivision. Upon removal of the Holding provision, the lands will be zoned Residential Exception 15 (R-15).
PURPOSE OF THE HOLDING PROVISION: On February 11, 2025, Township Council passed By-law No. 2025-003, a Zoning By-law Amendment to rezone a portion of the subject lands. The amendment rezoned 26 residential lots from Rural to Residential Exception 15 – Holding (R-15-h), and an additional 26 lots from Rural to Residential Exception 15 (R-15), to facilitate the phased development of a 52-lot subdivision. By-law No. 2025-003 stipulates that the Holding (h) provision shall remain in place until the performance review outlined in the Hydrogeological Study is completed to the satisfaction of the Township.
