Community Living Month Opened with a Mayor’s Breakfast

May 08, 2019

The Town Crier and two of his assistants, Caden Stephenson and Johnathan Wisteard, rang in the breakfast and introduced the Mayor of North Frontenac, Ron Higgins, and the Mayor of Central Frontenac, Frances Smith. They both had some kind words to say about CL-NF, and how important it is to have an inclusive community.

Dean Walsh, the Executive Director of CL-NF talked about May being Community Living Month and all the upcoming events. He introduced David Yerxa, who talked about his Swim-a-Thon happening on May 15th, and he will be going around to collect from sponsors. Anyone who wishes to sponsor can also call the office.

Janet Barr of Employment Services talked about businesses’ involvement in the community, and how they empower people in the work place. With the help of workers from each establishment, Janet presented plaques to Cardinal Café, Maples Restaurant, Mom’s Restaurant, North and Central Frontenac Townships, and Woody’s Cycles.
