By the mid-1900s all of Shanly's businesses and services from the previous century, aside from the Shanly United Church, had ceased operations. In the 1990s a church was constructed for the area's Baptists. Some years after Shanly's initial decline, a few new businesses were established during the late 1900s which are all reportedly still in operation as of the 2010s. During the 1970s, William Hooper Woodworking Inc. was established as a custom woodworking business and at an unknown date, Magnum Performance Canada, an automotive repair shop was opened. When North Edwardsburgh Public School was closed around 2009, the building became a retirement home called BonLen Place. The building was converted from classrooms into one and two-bedroom apartments. The facility houses retired individuals who are able to live independently, without constant care or supervision.
