Hinchinbrooke Road Partial Reopening Anticipated for End of October

Following recommendations from the geotechnical engineering review, South Frontenac Township staff have been carrying out grading adjustments within the work zone in preparation for reopening of Hinchinbrooke Road to traffic. Additional barrier systems and temporary traffic control signage will be put in place ahead of the partial reopening to help communicate lane restrictions and safety parameters.

“Knowing that a full road reopening wasn’t possible until the spring, it was important that the Township did everything we could to provide some type of pass-through access over the winter months to help alleviate traffic concerns,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “Safety remains a priority at this location, and staff have been working diligently to ensure the appropriate traffic controls and signage will be in place ahead of any road reopening.”

Second Intake for Lake Ecosystem Grant Program

After approving three projects for funding in September with $24,500 in grants, South Frontenac Council has launched a second intake for their Lake Ecosystem grant program this year.

But the timeframe is short.

With a deadline of October 29, 2021, not-for-profit community groups looking to make positive changes within their local waterbody ecosystem are encouraged to submit their interest and project proposals in person, or via email. The Lake Ecosystem Grant Program is designed to support projects focused on encouraging the preservation, restoration, monitoring and analysis of lake ecosystems within South Frontenac.

The Lake Ecosystem Grant program will fund up to 75% of eligible projects to a maximum of $10,000.

Community groups interested in submitting an application can visit the Township’s website at www.southfrontenac.net/grants/.

For questions relating to the Lake Ecosystem Grant program, contact Christine Woods, Senior Planner, at 613-376-3027 ext. 2221, or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
