Update: Municipal Election

Jeff Green | Feb 08, 2022

Brent Cameron and Bill Macdonald, who are both Council members in Central Frontenac, responded to a Frontenac News email about their political intentions for the municipal election that is coming up later this year, but were not included in the article from last week (Revill to Run for Mayor of SF, Gowdy possible in CF – Vol. 22, no. 5)

Brent Cameron, who represents ward 4, Hinchinbrooke, said “at this point, I am leaning toward running for re-election. I really want to see the Sharbot Lake Downtown Revitalization Plan work done and get plans underway for Parham, Tichborne and Godfrey.

“I'd also like to push badly needed road projects in the district including Westport Road and those in and around Wilkinson. We also have to consider the impact on services from our recent population increases.”

Bill Macdonald said that he is still committed to the work of Council, after serving as Mayor for three terms from 1998-2006, and as a member of Council since 2014.

“I have no interest in running for Mayor again, however, it is way too much work,” he said.

Suzanne Ruttan has represented South Frontenac at the Limestone District School Board since 2010, and is currently the Chair of the Board of Trustees. The board will be receiving a report on school district boundaries this week when it meets as a Committee of the Whole. The boundaries will be officially set at a formal meeting of the board later this month.

South Frontenac is one of the larger districts in the board, and while the possibility of boundary changes affecting the township is not that likely, she said that she is going to wait for that process to be complete before making her intentions known for the fall election.
