South Stormont – At the Regular Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, Council approved a tender bid to build the new Station 2 Fire Hall in Ingleside. The Township received nine (9) compliant bids for the Station 2 construction and awarded the tender to Robert J. Bourgon Construction in the amount of $4,294,263.00.

“Council began preparations for this moment by adding dollars to a reserve fund to see this project come together in the future," says Mayor Bryan McGillis. "We are thrilled to see the time has arrived where we can support our community and firefighters with this space.”

In 2024, Council earmarked a portion of Township-owned parkland at the corner of 45th Parallel Drive and Farran Drive as the future location of Station 2.

The new Station 2 will be a 7,000 ft2 facility that will house the Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief/Training Officer and Fire Prevention Officer. The facility was modeled after the St. Andrews West Fire Hall (Station 4), and will have three truck bays, four offices, a communications room, a training room and kitchen. There are plans to upgrade the training facility in the future to allow for additional in-house training and certification efforts for the department.

Construction is expected to begin in 2025 with occupancy expected in early 2026.
