County Planner Outreach to North Hastings
County Planner Paul Walsh or Justin Harrow are available to receive planning inquiries and pre-consultations at an office at Centennial Manor, Bancroft, from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm, every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. The planners can be contacted at the Bancroft office by calling 613-332-2070 (extension 6675).
People are strongly encouraged to schedule an appointment by contacting the Planning Department at 613-966-6712, or toll-free at 1-866-321-9563 (Paul's ext. 4003; Justin's ext. 4006), but walk-ins will also be most welcome. We are hopeful that our presence in the Manor will make it more convenient and accessible for everyone in the north to access the planners.
