The North Frontenac Archives has now officially become the North Frontenac Historical Society and Archives.
“We received our Ontario Corporation Number Jan. 20 although that actual date of incorporation was Nov. 23, 2019,” said Brenda Martin, who becomes the Society’s first president.
“We can now apply for our own grants and will be applying for charitable status so we can issue tax receipts for donations,” she said.
Martin said it’s taken about 18 months “to get the transition in place” and the first order of business will be to update the website reflecting all the changes. She said all of the archive material they’ve collected over the years will remain in place.
“We’re planning a kick-off event for a Saturday in May,” she said. “It will be an afternoon community event featuring local poets and songwriters.”
She said they have an interim board in place and expect to hold their first annual general meeting “sometime in June.”
