Over the course of the summer South Frontenac Township has gone to great effort and expense to upgrade the multi-sport courts at Centennial Park and Gerald Ball Memorial Park, and they are beautiful!

The stories about the Johnston's Point condominiums and the George St. bridge in the October 8, 2020 issue of the Frontenac News highlight a big problem in our society.

I agree with Mr. Rodney Hoff—there is no real public health emergency, and health and government officials have overreacted and overreached with all their new safety protocols and mandates imposed upon the public.  After all, I AM NOT A SHEEP!  From now on, I will resist the government oppressors who… READ MORE

One would hope that our governments and your readers, particularly those like myself in the same demographic as Mr. Colin Beckingham, (October 1st) dismiss his irresponsible advice with respect to getting the province "back to work and play" as he puts it. Mr. Beckingham's recent ruminations about the pandemic, in… READ MORE

Snow Road Station is deep in the Mississippi River Valley. Wi-fi broadband and cell signals go right over this area. The Bell telephone service is substandard and uses out dated equipment and as a result there are many outages, some times for weeks which creates a very dangerous situation if… READ MORE
