Township of Schreiber

What Township of Schreiber does

Township of Schreiber is a municipal government entity incorporated under Ontario provincial legislation, serving the residents and businesses of Schreiber, a small rural community in the Thunder Bay District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Its primary physical presence is at 204 Alberta Street, with a secondary seasonal facility — the Discovery Centre & Railway Museum at 308 Walker Lake Road. The Township delivers the full spectrum of mandated local-government services: water and sewer utilities, property-tax billing, waste collection and recycling (the latter via third-party GFL Environmental), landfill operations, building/business/burning permits and licences, bylaw enforcement, fire and emergency services, cemetery services, and a network of recreation facilities (Fitness Centre, Senior Active Living Centre, Arena, Community Hall, Municipal Gymnasium, Ballfield) and the Schreiber Public Library.

Its core digital asset is the official website schreiber.ca, built and maintained by vendor 9th House Media, which functions as the unified portal for service requests, online payments, news, public notices, and event calendars, complemented by email e-updates distributed through the CivicWeb portal. The Township is governed by an elected Mayor and Council, with day-to-day administration led by CAO/Clerk Rhonda Smith and a small staff covering accounts payable (Bree-Lyn Mulligan) and bylaw enforcement, among other roles.

Revenue is generated from four streams: property taxes (recurring, assessed-value-based billing); user fees and service charges for water/sewer, waste collection, recreation programs, and facility rentals; transaction-based fees from permits and licences (building, business, burning, lottery, pet); and managed-services-style funding via provincial and federal grants for infrastructure and community development. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed, consistent with municipal budgeting norms. The Township pursues strategic economic-development and tourism initiatives through partnerships — notably an extended research collaboration with Lakehead University (12 students producing economic-development and tourism reports) and engineering partnerships with Kresin Engineering and OCWA on the New Wastewater Treatment Plant project — while hosting provincial services such as DriveTest Ontario licensing sessions.
