I would like to reply to Glen Pearce's letter (Re: Conservationists of Frontenac Addington) on August 6, 2015 and to refute all of the information in his letter.
First of all, I would like to state that COFA (Conservationists of Frontenac Addington) was not "morphed" from the Federation for the Preservation of the Land O'Lakes. This is an organization we have never heard of nor can we find any information about it. COFA was formed by four local residents: Ted Snider, Ron Roberts, Dave Wellman and Ron Pethick in 1994. There has never been, nor will there ever be, any affiliation with OFAH. It has always been our feelings that the OFAH has its own agenda apart from COFA. COFA is, and was, a locally independent organization with no formal affiliation with OFAH or any other organization
The Regional Trust meeting was attended by a large crowd in Northbrook, not in Peterborough, in 1988. The Madawaska Regional Trust was an organization designed to transfer local initiatives to outside interests. That was one of the reasons for the formation of COFA, We wanted to keep local interests within the community and we are still doing precisely that.
Mr. Pearce, please revise your recollections to fit the facts.
