The pause is framed as a chance to study what guardrails the city could place around new data centres as local lawmakers grapple with residents’ concerns about possible energy, water and noise impacts. “We’ve heard your voice loud and clear,” Martin Reid, the councillor who sponsored the moratorium, said d

Councillors also directed staff to study whether the town’s own regulations need to be updated to address potential noise, vibration and emissions issues from data centres, as well as broader land-use considerations. “We’re operating here not out of fear, and not i

    Wildfires across northern Ontario have torched more of the province’s forest than during any previous year on record, early estimates suggest, with a recent burst of fast-moving wildfires responsible for nearly all of the area burned in just a few days. The province’s latest numbers suggest fires have burned through more than 7,250 square kilometres of Ontario’s forest, surpassing the previous record set in 2021.
