Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 23, 2026

The Township of Lake of the Woods is undertaking a full update of its Official Plan and a new comprehensive Zoning By-law covering all lands in the municipality, with a public open house scheduled for June 23, 2026. The notice frames this as long-term planning for growth, land use, and development controls and invites public feedback on proposed documents that are already drafted and available for inspection. This kind of planning work often requires ongoing or follow-on professional services such as planning consulting, legal review, public engagement support, GIS/mapping, and implementation tools once policies are finalized.No vendor is identified and no procurement method is referenced, indicating planning is still in flux and further technical work, by-law refinement, and implementation support may still be needed. Vendors in municipal planning, zoning software, and public engagement could position services around helping the Township finalize, defend, and implement the new plan and by-law.

Applies to the entire Township; documents are available at the Township office for inspection and are in proposed form, suggesting additional technical and engagement work may continue before adoption.
