This is the 15th anniversary, with the theme of Christmas, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. Try to get to this event, many volunteers have put in many hours of work to make this event happen. Thanks to All the Festival of Trees Volunteers!! I attended the Frontenac Stewardship Forum in Verona on the 26th, great presentations by a number of very knowledge individuals. In total we had 12 speakers throughout the day which included our own Gray Merriam, very informative day. I went to Maynooth last Friday to the Rural Mayors Forum of Eastern Ontario. A great meeting and as you have seen, a press release was sent out. As well Ron Higgins did an interview for CBC radio this morning about the group. Everyone is working hard to bring our rural issues to a number of "ears" which will include the Government, Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus, ROMA/OGRA, FCM and anyone else that will listen. It is time the small rural areas had a voice. Approval of Minutes Page 6 of 79 AGENDA ITEM #a) Last night I attended the Limestone District Board of Education's inaugural meeting, I brought greetings on behalf of Central Frontenac along with the Mayor Patterson, Mayor Vandewal, Mayor Higgins and Mayor Doyle. On Friday, I am meeting with members of the Library Board at the new Parham Library site. We need to look at getting the inside set up and establish an opening date. I know the board has concerns about usage going forward, I think we all are. As we said at our public meeting in Parham, we could be in a "use it or lose" situation down the road. So hopefully, with the new building, people will want to spend more time in the Library. Coming up next week is inter-agency meeting as well as the election of Warden at County Council. I am running and if all goes well, will be the next Warden of Frontenac County. 7. Staff Reports Planning Services Update Joe Gallivan, Frontenac County Planner presented the 2016 Work plan. Joe announced that Reid Shepherd has been hired by the County to replace Peter Young as Community Planner. Reid will be in Central Frontenac one day a week to meet with individuals to answer planning questions or to pre- consult on applications.

  • Quinte Region Water Budget, and to Initiate Discussions About Drought Management Plans
    1 | P a g e Summary Planning for drought in Ontario has become of increasing concern due to the recurrence of droughts, increased development pressure, and anticipated impacts from climate change. Previous work by Quinte Conservation has identified the region to be vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Some of this vulnerability can be attributed to the high percentage of Quinte Region residents (50 percent of the population) that rely on private wells for water supply. These wells are supplied by a shallow fractured bedrock aquifer with low storage capacity requiring regular replenishment from precipitation to maintain adequate levels of supply. In 2016, a widespread historic drought was experienced in the Quinte Conservation watershed and across Eastern Ontario. During this event, groundwater levels and wells experienced historically low levels with many residents’ wells running dry. Farmers struggled to find alternative supplies to sustain crops and livestock, rural fire protection sources dried up, and low river levels resulted in damaged fish habitat. Municipalities that rely 100 percent on private wells had difficulty obtaining alternative sources of water for their residents. Learning from the 2016 experience, Quinte Conservation recognized the need to develop a drought management plan that would help local municipalities mitigate and adapt to drought. With the support of municipalities within its watershed, Quinte Conservation obtained funding through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This funding has been used to improve monitoring to deal with drought, assess the potential impacts of climate change, and prepare the following as a drought management plan. This plan provides an overview of the background information about the Quinte watershed and past impacts from drought.

We are also grateful to the City of Pembroke for allowing us to use their CIP as a template and to the Municipalities of Gravenhurst and Tillsonburg for generating many CIP ideas. We now have a plan that provides opportunities for community beautification and economic prosperity for all residents now and in the future. It is also important that we recognize the contribution of many other citizen groups who whole- heartedly embraced the desire to want what was best for their community. To those citizens who participated in the 1993 Tweed Downtown Revitalization Project to the 2006 Main Street Initiative to the 2010 Integrated Community Sustainability Plan to the 2016 Business Retention & Expansion Survey, we are indeed grateful for your quest to make a difference in your community.

  • Weiss Point: the History, the Place, the People
    Weiss Point: The History, The Place, The People A Personal View Dave Bouttell December 2008 Foreword At the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Weiss Point Residents’ Association held on August 3 at the Burbidge Property, there was a suggestion made that one of the original members write a brief history of the Point and the Association. I volunteered. Little did I then know that this project would take on a life of its own; like a gas, it filled as much space as I was willing to allow it. It is nearly 200 years in this area since the First Nations encountered the first white squatters, quickly to be followed by the first true settlers who were given free land grants. The seasonal settlers started to arrive about a century later. Our own pilgrimage to the land we know and love began in August 1976 when John Savigny lead us along a pot-holed Highway 506 (prior to the bulldozed, blasted, realigned and resurfaced major highway we now travel) to the village of Ardoch, thence onto Smith Road and eventually to the Weiss Farm Road, overgrown with grass and weeds which reached above the hoods of our vehicles. The journey was formidable, but we found our little piece of heaven. By Thanksgiving 1976 our purchase from George Weiss was complete and our first real visit as owners began. That weekend, along with a pair of loons, we were the sole residents of Weiss Point and its bays. By Saturday afternoon we had had about 15 cm of snow. Trees were down; we were cut off for two days.
