PELHAM STREET SIDEWALK RENEWAL PROJECT - SEPTEMBER 8
Please be advised that Dexter Construction Company Ltd. has been contracted by the Town of Lunenburg to conduct work on a section of Pelham Street. The Pelham Street Sidewalk Renewal Project is scheduled to begin on September 8, 2026, and is expected to take approximately six to seven weeks. In the event of rain or other weather-related delays, the schedule may be extended.
The Project is intended to replace the existing sidewalk along Pelham Street from Town limits at Rous Brook up to the intersection with Shipyard Hill Road, also providing infrastructure upgrades along the curbline and an improved pedestrian crossing at Sawpit Road. The Project is part of the Town’s Capital Budget.
For safety reasons, it is expected that the Contractor shall have traffic management measures for road users travelling through the work zone. The existing sidewalk shall also be impacted through the course of the work, and there may be short periods during construction when the sidewalk or individual driveway access is not possible. The Contractor is required to mitigate these impacts throughout the performance of their work.
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this work may cause and thank you for your co-operation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the project superintendent for Dexter, Spencer Stratton at (902) 943-9934.
THANK YOU, LUNENBURG

A message from Lunenburg Mayor, Jamie Myra:
Thank You, Lunenburg.
As we close out what has been an incredibly challenging few days for our community, I want to take a moment to say thank you.
On behalf of Council - to every resident, business owner, employee, volunteer, and community organization who did their part to conserve water, adjust their routines, support their neighbours, and help us through this situation - thank you.
The fact that we have reached where we are today, as quickly as we have, is a direct result of the incredible buy-in and cooperation from our entire community. Everyone made a difference, and every effort, big or small, helped get us here.
As Mayor, I have to say that I am truly overwhelmed and honoured to be the Mayor of this Town. Watching Lunenburg come together, put aside individual challenges, and work toward the same goal has been incredibly humbling. This is what community is all about.
I also want to recognize our incredible Town team. Our Public Works, Water & Wastewater and Town Hall staff put in countless hours throughout this situation. Their dedication and commitment to our community have been nothing short of remarkable.
We have also been fortunate to receive tremendous support from the Lunenburg County Regional Emergency Management Organization (REMO), neighbouring municipalities and other levels of government. A special thank you to Minister Susan Corkum-Greek, Minister Kim Masland, and Mayor David Mitchell, Chair of REMO, for their support and assistance throughout the week.
We are in a much better place with our water supply because all of us worked together. While we still need to remain mindful of our water use, we can take a moment to recognize what we have accomplished as a community.
Lunenburg showed up for one another when it mattered most.
Thank you, Lunenburg. I could not be prouder of this community, and I am incredibly grateful to serve as your Mayor.
Jamie Myra,
Mayor of Lunenburg

💧 Water Conservation Update 💧
We are pleased to report that water conservation efforts have been very helpful and overnight significant progress was made in restoring the Town’s water reserve.
The cooperation of Lunenburg’s residents and businesses has been crucial to this process. Thank you for your patience and understanding while crews worked to ensure the town’s water supply continued safely.
It will still take a little longer to get the pumps fully restored, but in the meantime, we are able to announce that effective immediately, all water restrictions have been lifted.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and commitment to conserving water over the past few days.
Water Conservation Update - September 4 - 3:45pm

A lot of progress has been made since this time yesterday, but we still have some work ahead. With the breach secured, work is now focused on getting all three pumps in the pumping station fully operational. Presently, two pumps are working at less than full capacity, while the third pump is still offline.
While the past couple of days have been a challenge, Lunenburg’s residents and businesses have been incredibly cooperative during this process. Thank you for your patience and understanding while crews worked to ensure the town’s water supply continued safely.
It will still take a little longer to get to a point where the Water Conservation Directive can be fully lifted, but work is definitely headed in the right direction. As such, we can announce that water conservation measures will be eased as of 6pm this evening.
Please note though, it is still important to exercise a level of conservation as outline in the updated directive to ensure this easing of measures doesn’t jeopardize the Utility's ability to provide reliable continuous water service to its customers.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and continued commitment to conserving water. Every drop makes a difference. 💧
