Central Frontenac, South Frontenac and Frontenac County have conspired to steal  (reallocate) money that was allocated for seniors housing in North Frontenac for their own benefit; or to indirectly fund the Frontenac Municipal Services Corporation which is a blatant misappropriation of that funding.

What type of loophole can be created to allow North Frontenac to retain the $337,500 allocated to them?  There is obviously a way so what is it?  Or do loopholes only apply when monies can be redirected to the formation of the Frontenac Municipal Services Corporation.

Central and South Frontenac townships, like North Frontenac, do not have plans finalized for seniors housing in their municipalities. So why is North Frontenac the only municipality out of the three being forced to forfeit the $337,500 allocated to their municipality.

It is true that North Frontenac was unsuccessful in providing a ‘bricks and mortar’ solution for their senior citizens up to this point. However, they polled their senior population in 2018 and the seniors want to remain in their homes… ‘existing bricks and mortar’. The $357,500 could assist several senior citizens remain to in their home rather than help a few by buying or building a 5-unit senior citizens’ complex. 

Like a divorce, it is often the children that suffer. Now it is the North Frontenac’s senior citizens being penalized because their council voted not to participate in the Municipal Services Corporation, in my opinion

Please let your conscience guide you when voting for candidates who align themselves with Frontenac County to cause harm to other municipalities for their own gain in the upcoming election on the 24th.
