South Frontenac has laid charges against Bill Day Jr., the organiser of a racing event in late October.

“It shows a total lack of respect for the community,” said Mayor Davison in reference to the racing event held at the Bill Day farm near Harrowsmith on the weekend of October 27/28.

Last year, Council ruled that only one racing event can be held each year on the property, and that event had already taken place in the late summer.

The township received several letters of complaint in response to the advertising campaign for the most recent event. Davison pointed out that Mr. Day had been sent a registered letter three weeks before the event reminding him of last year’s ruling.

When this warning was ignored, the township by-law officer had attended that weekend, and laid charges.
