CORNWALL, Ontario – The United Counties of SD&G Council passed a small decrease to the 2021 draft budget from the previous year.
At their budget meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 17, Council approved a draft tax rate decrease of 0.74 per cent from the previous year. The 2021 United Counties draft budget is approximately $57 million.
The average home in the United Counties is valued at $221,633, will be paying $1,281.63 in taxes this year, a 0.22 per cent decrease, or a savings of $2.77.
Despite the tax decrease, the United Counties’ budget is actually $2.2 million bigger this year than it was in 2020. Of that $2.2 million increase, $1.2 million is due to COVID-19 related costs, which are offset through funding provided by the provincial government.

CORNWALL, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, Dec. 21, the United Counties of SD&G agreed to accept a donation of an 84 acre forest from a resident, Dr. John Macaulay.
The forest is located just northwest of Martintown in South Glengarry.
In a letter to the United Counties, Dr. Macaulay outlined his reasons for wanting to make the donation.
“My reason for wishing to make this donation at this time is that I am now 90 years of age and no longer physically capable of managing this forested land myself, even with help from available resources,” Dr. Macaulay wrote. “None of my adult family wishes to take on this responsibility. After my death, it is likely that the land would be deforested and the remarkable biodiversity of the land would be lost.”
