Reduced Loads on Township Roads Now in Effect to April 30, 2023

Construction and Road Closures

It’s construction season! Be sure to watch this section or engagefrontenac.ca in the coming months for updates on construction projects around the Township as we work to improve our roads.

Things To Do

Seasonal Net Sport Court Booking

Court booking requests will be accepted starting April 1 and due on April 20, 2023. Staff will review the booking requests and work with user groups to resolve any conflicts. The schedule will be posted April 24. The courts will be unlocked and ready to use for the season in mid-late April. See the Court Facilities page under Things to Do at southfrontenac.net for more information. Please note that the courts at McMullen Park Beach in Verona will be unavailable for community use as they are scheduled to be reconstructed in 2023.

Summer Kickoff Music Festival

Join us for live, local music at the Summer Kickoff Music Festival happening May 27, 2023 from 4 – 10 pm at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith. The event will be a true celebration of local talent and artistry, bringing together masters of their craft in the music, food, and drink industries here in the South Frontenac region. We’re busy lining up fun for the whole family. The event will feature food trucks, craft beer and liquor, lots of live local music, and a kid’s zone for our youngest festival goers. Sponsors, vendors, and performers are wanted. If you would like to participate in the event, please fill out the application by April 10 found at southfrontenac.net/musicfestival.

Summer Program Registration

We’ve had an overwhelming response to our Day Camp registration! Some spots may still be available, visit www.southfrontenac.net for more information or to add your child to the waiting list. We’ve made the difficult decision to postpone swim lesson registration indefinitely due to staffing and recruitment challenges. We will continue to try to recruit qualified instructors and if we can obtain staff, we will open registration later in the spring. Day camps will have lifeguards on staff so day camp will still have free and recreational swim time.
