The article, “Draft Management Plan Pegs K&P Trail Maintenance costs at $115,000 Per Year” and the response from the Economic Development Manager Joe Gallivan is interesting. Before I start, I tip my hat to all those who supported the trail, its construction and enduring all the challenges that come along… READ MORE

Yes, you are right, the vaccination rates in the US are significantly higher than in Canada. Of course, they don’t have a federal leader that bought enough vaccines to provide 4 doses for everyone; yet, only 4% of all Canadians are fully vaccinated (gov of Cda). Even now some eligible… READ MORE

There has been a lot of mention about Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982). People, including our MPP talk about how they have inalienable rights in Canada. This is very true, we have many rights put forth in that document. What people tend to forget is that for every… READ MORE

Mr. Hillier’s actions in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston and across the province in general have been frustrating, reckless, and straight up insulting to everyone who is doing their part during this pandemic. I’m glad to see that he’s facing some consequences for those actions that are quite literally putting people’s lives in danger. … READ MORE

You might think that our Council would be more sensitive to the critical needs of our community and less intent on finding less urgent matters to occupy their time, as it relates to the, "New South Frontenac Brand", I wonder where the real attention lies. After reading the comments made… READ MORE

I am amazed as well as disappointed after looking through the latest issue of your paper. There was no vitriol. There was no alarm. There was nothing! Our beloved Premier had arbitrarily curtailed certain inalienable rights from within the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and, on the surface, it… READ MORE

This kind of bureaucratic nonsense drives me crazy. Did Jeff even ask what the entire cost would be?? My guess is too much $$$.  A lot of people living in Frontenac are experiencing horrible finacial problems during these hard times.  Why, why would the township throw all that money at… READ MORE
