To our Valued Customers and Northbrook Community Members Frontenac County Residents Invited To Strategic Plan Consultation

The County of Frontenac is excited to announce the development of its Strategic Plan.

Frontenac County residents, business operators, and community organizations to participate by attending one of two open houses and to share their opinions via a short public online survey.

“The County Strategic Plan informs Frontenac County Council decisions regarding the growth and development of Frontenac County over the next several years. The county is looking for input on a wide range of topics related to the work of Frontenac County including Fairmount Home and long-term care, Frontenac Paramedics and emergency response, land use planning, geographic information services, corporate services, marine services, economic development, and other County Council priorities and concerns.

“We believe that community engagement is key to developing a county strategic plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of the people who call Frontenac County home,” says Jannette Amini, Manager of Legislative Services/Clerk, Frontenac County. “We encourage all members of the community to share their thoughts on the issues and priorities that matter most to them.”

As part of the consultation process, residents are urged to fill in a short survey that can be found at Engagefrontenac.ca, clicking on “View Projects” in the Frontenac County Box, then “Learn More” in the Strategic Plan box, then on the survey button in the middle of the page.

For more information, please contact Jason Kipfer, Project Lead at 226-868-4011 (jason@ explorersolutions.ca); or Jannette Amini, Manager of Legislative Services/Clerk, County of Frontenac, at 613-548-9400 ext. 302 (jamini@frontenaccounty.ca)

obituary

Mark Kramer - passed away peacefully at the Kingston General Hospital on Sunday, March 26, 2023. He.was born and raised in St. Catharines where he attended high school and later went on to study at Brock University and Sheridan College in Oakville. Following his post-secondary education, Mark ran his own landscaping business for a few years. His entrepreneurship eventually shifted to the world of billiards, where he opened up and operated a pool hall inspired, in part, by his many years as a member of the St. Catharines’ Pool League. In the early 2000s, Mark made the decision to leave the hustle and bustle of St. Catharines for a quieter life in Central Frontenac. He resided in his house on Crow Lake for the majority of these years enjoying the beautiful views from his dock or living room window. In 2019, he moved to his home on Elizabeth Street in the village of Sharbot Lake, where he spent his final days. Mark established a presence in the community and was well known by many of the local residents. He enjoyed having friends over, often engaging in discussions over coffee or a drink about a wide range of topics from fishing to world politics. He loved boating; travelling to the Dominican Republic; riding around town in his Oldsmobile; gardening and, of course, his pets. He will be sadly missed by his son Dylan Kramer of St. Catharines, sister Ellen Samler of Sydenham, brother-in-law Alan Dickson of Sydenham, his uncles Jaan Taht (Milvy) of St. Catharines, Veljo Taht (Carol) of Oakville, cousins Karen, Erika, Michael, Andrew, John, his nephew Sam and by his best friends Todd Paul of West Seneca, NY and Andy Edwards of Tamworth. Pre-deceased by his mother Helgi Kramer, nee Taht. Mark will be cremated and his ashes returned to his son, Dylan. A Celebration of Life will be planned for him in both Sharbot Lake and St. Catharines, specific dates to be announced at a later time. In his memory, please consider a small donation to the local food bank or the Ontario SPCA. Online memories and condolences can be shared with the family at www.goodfellowsfuneralhome.com dave will be deeply missed by his family and many friends which include his sisters, Linda Fleming and sandra Morrice (Bill), and brother Bruce Fleming. His nephews, Jeff & Brad Morrice and Isaac Minialoff. He was predeceased by his parents allyn and Myra Fleming. dave grew up in toronto. His enjoyment of outdoor life began when he was young. He spent summers at family cottages on Lake simcoe and Haliburton Lake and in later years with friends at Go Home Lake. He lived in Kingston for several years then bought his home on Bob’s Lake where he lived for the last 25 years. He loved being by the water, the peacefulness and looking out over the lake. He looked forward to his snowmobiling trips and enjoyed fishing, boating and chopping wood. He lived for the outdoors. special thanks to ralph & Michelle and denis & Linda who were a great support to dave over the last several months. thanks also to the south east Home & Community Care staff for assisting dave and persevering through his want of independence. Following dave’s wishes, there will be no service. a private burial will be held at a later date. in care of siMpLer tiMes creMatioN service
