SF Trailer Bylaw
I live in Harrowsmith, on a private 27 acres that I bought in 2019. We had a very unpleasant surprise recently, when I was told that S Frontenac has a bylaw prohibiting the use of any form of RV, trailer, motorhome or variation, in any way shape or form on… READ MORE
Re: K&P Trail Permits

Signage over Safety in SF

If situated correctly, it would allow the rural areas to bypass the big smokes and connect clear–headed country thinking to put our province and country back on the right track.

Doctor Recruitment
Here is a different tact ... instead of providing cash as an incentive to recruit doctors why not use our best asset? Why do so many people come, and stay, to this area? Our natural beauty of course. Buy a winterized cottage on one of our beautiful lakes close to… READ MORE

Re: Staff Unappreciated
I agree with Ms. Jo Devries that action by public employees to close a dump for five hours early on one day in recognition of Staff Appreciation Day was incredibly insensitive. Imagine the stress and fatigue associated with loading your vehicle with trash and waste, only to find the dump… READ MORE
