It may be closing its doors soon, but Seeley’s Bay Hall will breathe a little easier before it does. Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands council unanimously approved a $98,222.82 contract on May 5 to replace and retrofit the building’s aging HVAC system – just days before the hall is set to close officially. The work was awarded to Ubcon Construction Limited, a local contractor whose bid came in well below the second of two submissions.

The township owns and operates 16 cemeteries, four of which are still active and accepting new burials or plot sales.
