In June of 2020, Township Council considered moving their meetings to Tartan Hall in the Char-Lan Rec. Centre permanently. As the Council Chambers currently take up a large part of the floor plan in the South Glengarry Township Hall, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Tim Mills presented council with a planned redesign for the building that included among other things more boardrooms and private meeting spaces.
