County of Dufferin Courthouse Expansion

For over 130 years, this grand old building in Dufferin County has housed the local government's judicial and administrative functions. The Victorian Revival style, two-storey courthouse and municipal office originated as a jail complex and jailor's residence. In 1973, an addition expanded services to include the Health Unit and, in 1986, in partnership with the Province of Ontario, additional Courts were added. A 2010 expansion added Provincial Offences staff, two more Courtrooms and County staff. Thanks to the financial contributions of close to $2.7 million from each of the federal and provincial governments, this landmark was expanded and updated to increase functionality and meet accessibility requirements. Residents can now access all Dufferin County's administrative and court services under one roof. A new secure underground entrance makes the transfer of prisoners safer for everyone; and improved water, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and insulation have made the building more energy efficient.
