Quinte Economic Development Commission follows leads By Kate Everson

News - Belleville/Quinte West The QEDC is tracking its investments and opportunities all around the world. “We get 41 per cent of our contacts in Canada but 27 per cent from Europe,â€? reported Vicki Bristow Ferguson, business development ofďŹ cer. She said 12 per cent come from the United States and six per cent from the United Kingdom. “We track what we do,â€? said CEO Chris King. “Trade shows pay off.â€? Ted Reid added, “How we ďŹ nd people is very professional. It’s not willy nilly. We do a great job.â€? He said it takes away the myth that they just grab someone out of nowhere. “We are very organized,â€? he said. Chair Ross Rae said trade shows are a great indicator of numbers. John McMahon from Loyalist College said they have launched a 3D virtual world for training people to work in long-term-care homes. He also commented on the success of students at a skills competition in Waterloo, with gold and bronze medals in the manufacturing and chemistry programs. “Kudos to Ann Drennan,â€? he said. He added that Loyalist is the top for employment programs out of 24 colleges. “We put grads to work,â€? he said. Mayor Jim Harrison asked how the program for long-term care workers would affect Crown Ridge expansion. “Will they approve more

beds?� he asked. “They are needed!� Chuck O’Malley said the training program is for existing workers. He added that Loyalist is requesting training in water and wastewater management and in design programs, which would make these available locally. He noted that the Elevate training program is now complete after the third graduation to give job experience in the food sector. This program takes vulnerable adults who do not have a good track record of employment. He said many people are blown away by the changes of individuals in this group. They are now in the process of getting sustainable funding for more programs. Thirty of the students have attained full-time employment. “We want to continue the momentum,� he said. Chris King said this will expand their labour force and give people the skill sets they need. O’Malley said if someone graduates from the program, they get a job. They work with employment partners in Belleville and Quinte West. He added that Northumberland County has a poverty reduction outreach that is a potential solution with a $50-million fund from the province. He said they have applied for federal funding but it is in a hold pattern. Ted Reid said they deserve kudos for their collaboration with partners. He noted the graduates at Elevate are a wide age group.

Would you like to donate to … ?

Dear Editor, In a volunteer society such as ours, where government does not spend adequate tax monies on societal basic needs, charity has to fill the gap. For example, the question asked at the grocery store and other retail outlets, “Would you like to donate to such and such organisation?” This request happens when one is about to pay for goods at the check-out. It is audacious, impolite, impertinent and rude to make such a request, and in full public view. If and when one chooses to donate money, it is a personal and private matter. Many people are embarrassed at being put on the spot. The cheeky question is also an embarrassment to the cashier having to ask. The companies involved have created a completely unnecessary customer irritant. I would hope this is not a permanent policy. The growing tendency in our corpocracy (my word) is for various groups, including corporations to raise money for charitable groups, who then donate money raised to societies and individuals in need, our less fortunate fellow humans. It all seems well and good to help each other, especially at this time of joblessness. But where does the responsibility lie for our current lack of meaningful jobs? Our government is too busy protecting us from terrorists, and cutting taxes for their supporters in high places to really bring back the jobs. Those in public service are all well compensated and need not worry about using a food bank.

Over the last few decades we have witnessed the de-industrialisation of Canada. In pursuit of ever-increasing profit, Canada’s corporations have moved manufacturing operations and the resulting jobs to countries with vast amounts of cheap labour. And Canadians suffer the effects. Corporations are richer, Canadians are poorer. Corporate Canada runs this country, not the elected government. They are the ones with the money and therefore the power to dictate to government. Canada now has a service industry as a basis for our economy, not a manufacturing one. We are selling off our natural resources at bargain basement prices. That’s how we attract investors. Canada is for sale. What a waste … and what a shame. Ray Clark, Tweed

admit that I have always been a “pottymouth.” Bad language is in the news now because certain male soccer rowdies have finally tripped the decency wire. The loathsome epithet, (FHRITP), used to taunt a female broadcast reporter, followed by an even more obscene physical threat, have seemingly led to a mass uprising of folks who have had enough of outrageously rude, boorish behaviour. Where did we go wrong? When I was young there was an unwritten rule that you NEVER used the magic word around adults, females, and especially, teachers. We were skilled at shutting our potty little mouths when in their company. A generation later, I think things went off the rails when the females, striking another blow for equality, commenced to hurl the magic word with impunity. Everyone, especially the teachers, were aghast but the “magic” was

OPINION

Another Bush damaged by Iraq God save the queen, for Editorial - He just misheard the question. A basically friendly interviewer on Fox News asked Jeb Bush, now seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. presidency: “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorised the invasion [of Iraq]?” And he Gwynne Dyer replied: “I would have.” When the storm of protest, even from Republicans, swept over him, he explained that he thought the interviewer had said: “Knowing what we KNEW THEN.” An easy mistake to make. “Know now” sounds an awful lot like “knew then.” Besides, Jeb Bush is on record as claiming that he is Hispanic (on a 2009 voter-registration application), so the poor man was struggling with his second language. If only she had asked the question in Spanish, he would have understood it perfectly. Enough. When you listen to the entire interview, it’s clear that Bush didn’t want to say a flat “No” to her question, because that would be a condemnation of his brother’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. But as soon as he could, he switched to talking about the “intelligence failures” that misled his brother into invading the wrong country. Anybody can make a mistake. So nobody’s to blame. Hillary Clinton, currently the favourite for the Democratic presidential nomination, uses exactly the same defence. In fact, every American politician who voted in favour of the invasion of Iraq at the time claims that the problem was faulty intelligence, and maybe some of them outside of the White House genuinely were misled. But the intelligence wasn’t “faulty”; it was cooked to order. There was no plausible intelligence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so the U.S. intelligence services were told to “find” some. There were no Islamist terrorists in Iraq either: Saddam Hussein hunted down and killed anybody suspected of being an Islamist activist, because the Islamists wanted to kill him. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency tried very hard to create a link between al Qaeda, the organisation responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and Iraq. The only thing they came up with, however, was a rumour that a little-known Islamist from Jordan called Abu Musab al Zarqawi who knew Osama bin Laden had been in Baghdad receiving treatment for

wounds received in Afghanistan in May-November 2002. (He was actually in Iran at that time.) If you were on the White House staff in early 2003, you HAD to know that the “intelligence” you were using to justify the invasion of Iraq was false, because you were one of the people demanding that the spooks manufacture “evidence” for it. The decision itself had been taken even before Bush’s election in 2000 and the 9/11 attacks in 2001, for reasons that had nothing to do with terrorism. The incoming Bush administration was full of people called “neo-conservatives.” They believed the Clinton administration had failed to exploit the sole superpower status that the United States inherited after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 to put the world to rights. What was needed, therefore, was a display of U.S. power that would make all the “bad guys” behave. So invade somewhere and take the local bad guy down. Iraq was the obvious choice, because it was very weak after a decade of arms embargo, and Saddam Hussein was a very bad guy. We don’t yet know just how disastrous the invasion of Iraq was, because the damage is still accumulating. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the man who now rules “Islamic State,” the terrorist-ruled new country that occupies the eastern half of Syria and the western third of Iraq, started fighting Americans as part of the Iraqi resistance in 2003. By 2006 at the latest, he had joined the group then called Al Qaeda in Iraq, which was largely made up of jihadis from other Arab countries who had flocked to Iraq to fight the infidel invaders. And the founder of Al Qaeda in Iraq was none other than Abu Musab al Zarqawi–who parlayed the reputation as a major jihadi leader that the U.S. intelligence services gave him into a real leadership position in the resistance. Through the years that followed, that organisation gained experience in guerilla war and terrorism, and through several changes of name and leadership (Zarqawi was killed in 2006) it ultimately morphed into Islamic State. Baghdadi was with it all the way, and now styles himself “Caliph Ibrahim,” demanding the loyalty and obedience of all Muslims everywhere. So we owe a lot to the “neo-cons” in George Bush’s administration who pushed for the invasion of Iraq: people like Dick Cheney (vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (Secretary of Defense), and Paul Wolfowitz (Undersecretary of Defense). They just used the 9/11 attacks as a vehicle for their pre-existing Iraq invasion plans. It was Wolfowitz, above all, who worked tirelessly to link Iraq to terrorism. And guess who is the most prominent name on Jeb Bush’s current team of foreign policy advisers (apart from George W. Bush himself). Why, it’s the very same Paul Wolfowitz. The problem with Jeb Bush is not the foolish answers he gives. It’s the company he keeps.

the sake of the holiday By Stephen Petrick

Editorial - We’re coming off a long weekend and my mind is mush, so I’m going to make some short comments on a few issues here instead of the usual long rant on one. First, since we’re on the topic of holidays, am I the only one who, for 364 days of the year, sees little value in Canada keeping its connection with the monarchy? Of course, the one day I love it is Victoria Day. I’ll take a day off to celebrate the Queen’s birthday. But being a fan of the we’reall-born-equal philosophy, I’ve never understood why I’m supposed to have an infatuation with the Royal Family. There was a time when I would have argued there’s no use for the monarchy–even in Britain– but that changed for me in 2003 when, as a young man, I spent a summer in London. That’s when I learned that tourists from around the world are mesmerized by the elegance of royal properties such as Buckingham Palace. The Royal Family generates millions of pounds for the British economy and gives the country an identity. And many of us Canadians, I suppose, still want some connection to it, just so we can say we’re not American. *** Second, I want to say something about the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s work-to-rule campaign, as a result of a labour dispute with the provincial government. But given the fact that I once worked as a teacher and there are several teachers in my family, I’d feel I’m in a conflict if I went too heavy into details. However, I want to point out that this dispute will die off in time, just like the dispute that led to a two-week province-wide strike in 1997. You’ll hear a lot over the next few weeks about how teachers are lazy and overpaid. I don’t agree, but such comments are fair game in a labour dispute that impacts the public as much as this one. You can argue for or against either side, but, really, such conflicts are inevitable when you’ve got a union as powerful as ETFO. Teaching is one of the most common professions in Ontario, which means teachers’ unions have incredible

bargaining strength. The government, to an extent, has to give them what they want, at least until it feels the request is so outlandish the public will be on its side. But eventually the two sides will work it out because, while teachers are reasonably paid (many would argue really well paid) they’re not filthy rich enough to afford a long work stoppage, if it comes to that. Professional athletes are the only ones who can afford to hold out for months. *** Third, for our readers who don’t appreciate my left-leaning views on issues such as taxation, I’ve got good news. I’m moving to a place where my pinko-commie attitude will be better received: Alberta. I’m kidding about the move, but how incredible is it that 40 years of Conservative rule is about to end in Alberta after the surprising election of an NDP government earlier this month? I don’t purport to be an expert in Alberta politics, but I presume that when a certain party is in power for so long, it becomes arrogant and just assumes voters will re-elect it, only to lose its grip to a fresh alternative. It’s like how in the early part of this century the Liberals, having ruled Canada federally since the early 1990s, got cocky and were caught in several scandals in which they awarded contracts to supporters. (Remember the famous Toronto Star headline, “Your money, their friends.”) That helped turn the country Conservative, with the election of Stephen Harper as Prime Minister in 2006. A few months ago in this space, I predicted Harper will win a majority government in this fall’s election, on the grounds that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is too young and inexperienced. But if Alberta is no longer a Tory stronghold that could be a game changer. And after nearly ten years in power, Harper is showing he isn’t immune to scandal either (Isn’t that right Mike Duffy and Nigel Wright?) Prime Minister Thomas Mulcair? I wouldn’t rule it out.

Boaters can dock but not shower at Trent Port Marina

News - Quinte West - Boaters can dock at the new Trent Port Marina but there are no showers available yet. “Boaters will be taken by golf cart for showers at Fraser Park,â€? said Lisa Grills, supervisor of tourism and special events. Grills said the trailers on site are operational for ofďŹ ce, lounge, intake and washrooms but no showers. She told the tourism ad-

visory committee that the marina building is gradually being completed but will not be ready for the previously set ofďŹ cial opening date of June 20. “That date has been cancelled,â€? she said. “There is no alternate date yet for the ofďŹ cial opening.â€? Grills said the inside walls, masonry, drywall, plumbing ďŹ xtures are in and the rooďŹ ng will be installed on the building next week. The landscap-

Tourism committee recommends review

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The Tourism Advisory Committee is recommending that council allocate funds in the 2016 budget to review the current boat launches in the city. Chair Rob MacIntosh said they would like to get this done as soon as possible. “It could be 2017 before anything gets done,� he said. “Is there any way we can get it done this year?� Lisa Grills, supervisor of tourism and special events, said that is up to council. “There are no available funds in the budget,� she added. MacIntosh said, “We can recommend that the review is done this year, so we can start work in the spring.� Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, said they need to have it ready for spring. “The boat launches are not in good repair,� she said. “Fishermen have said they won’t come back.� Al DeWitt suggested they revamp it the same as in Centennial Park. “We can do our own review,� he said. “We are ready

to go. We can do this in-house.â€? Grills said the committee cannot direct. They will have to ask council. The motion to recommend to council to allocate funds for a review on all the current boat launches would go to council on Tuesday. Grills said based on the feedback from user groups it is apparent that the launches in the city are not satisfactory. “Recreational boating and competition ďŹ shing has signiďŹ cant economic impact,â€? she said. “Improved launch facilities are an important part of the revitalization of the water’s edge.â€? She said they also need to look at possible new launch locations. Grills added that the city has hired a fourth summer student to help with events in the city, to man the information booths and attend Riverfest on the long weekend and Barks by the Bay on May 30. She also noted there is a new study guide and map out now. A new events co-ordinator has been hired to replace Colleen Vickers who is on early maternity leave.

ing is started and the paving will begin May 25. “There will be partial occupancy by early June,â€? she said. “The ďŹ nal dates are the end of June.â€? She said they have already have transient boaters docking at Fraser Park marina. The Hydro and water is on at the new marina but Wi-Fi will not be on until the infrastructure is completed in mid-June. The entry to the boats will be by keyed entry for now. “A security ďŹ rm has been hired for after staff leave,â€? she said. Grills said a newsletter is being sent to all the boaters and there have been 130 pre-sold slips in the marina to date. She noted a signiďŹ cant increase in boaters from Cobourg and Prince Edward County.

Duncan Armstrong asked why there were boats docked in Fraser Park. Grills said they are coming from other marinas where they needed to vacate the property. Armstrong asked why it is hard to ďŹ nd the marina on the city website. Grills said she would check into it. Armstrong also noted someone had painted walls at Fraser Park the wrong colour of blue. Grills said that is not the tourism department, but through Public Works. Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, asked if they could recommend to council a “no wakeâ€? sign between the two bridges, with additional signage at the docks and bridges. She said it was hard for pad- The Trent Port Marina building still has a lot of work to do before the anticidlers when people were zipping around pated July completion. Meanwhile boaters are using temporary facilities on personal watercraft. and being taken by golf cart to showers at Fraser Park. Photo: Kate Everson

Water and wastewater systems report includes methane

BRIGHTON

BECKONS YOU TO EXPERIENCE AND EXPLORE

By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - Three spills at the Trenton wastewater treatment plant occurred in April and May. “Two resulted in methane venting to the atmosphere,” said Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater Services, at the Public Works Committee meeting. Mayor Jim Harrison asked about the methane. Tracey explained that it is a result of burning waste gas. The foaming shut down the waste burner. Another spill resulted from five cubic metres of biosolids foam spill on the lawn. The foam was contained and cleaned up immediately. “These issues are a result of scum/foam issues with the digester process,” Tracey explained. Staff are working on determining the cause of the process concerns and are making the

necessary adjustments. There have also been tertiary filter bypasses reported to the Ministry of the Environment over the last few weeks. These resulted from planned maintenance work owing to the filter reconstruction project and some process issues owing to solids loading to one filter in service. Tracey noted that the Phase 1B upgrade design work is continuing. A contractor prequalification process will be conducted in May and June followed by issuing the tender for the work in July. “The design engineer is now completing the design drawings for final approval in June,” he added. Upgrades for the Trenton water treatment plant for the installation of sludge removal and a larger generator are essentially complete. In the Frankford wastewater treatment plant an unplanned

bypass occurred on April 20 for a period of 13 hours, as a result of a rain event resulting in 518 cubic metres of effluent bypassing tertiary treatment. In the Frankford water treatment plant a small spill of chlorinated drinking water was reported on April 23 after a watermain break on Mill Street. About 70 cubic metres entered the river via a storm sewer outlet. No adverse effects to the environment were observed. “The break was on the old watermain that is being replaced,” Tracey said. “The new watermain that was installed last fall will be commissioned in the coming weeks.” In Bayside the water tower painting has been completed and logos applied. Staff have received positive feedback on the operation of the mixing system that was installed last fall as part of the project.

Photos: Kate Everson CITY OF QUINTE WEST PUBLIC WORKS & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 2015 HYDRANT FLUSHING SCHEDULE Hydrant flushing ensures proper flows for fire fighting as well as insures a fresh water supply to our residences. Sediment in the mains can be stirred up briefly during this process causing dirty water. If this occurs please run your tap until it clears. Also, doing laundry during flushing may cause stains. We recommend that laundry not be done during this period.

Boats travelling up the Trent River system enjoyed docking near the Frankford locks during Riverfest.

Flushing will be carried out daily 7:30 am until 4:00 pm Monday to Thursday and 7:30 am until 10:30 am Fridays. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Bay of Quinte Tourism MOU supported by committee By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The Tourism Advisory Committee has supported Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council and the Bay of Quinte Living Council. Lisa Grills, supervisor of tourism and special events, said Belleville did not support an increase in funding for the Living Council so the total was less than previously agreed on, .50 per capita instead of the .75 per capita previously supported. PEC’s Community Development Commission voted in favour of supporting Bay of Quinte Living subject to revisions to the proposed MOU, which is expected to come back to the Commission in a few weeks’ time.

The financial impact for Quinte West with a population of 43,086 at $1.30 per capita for Bay of Quinte Tourist Council which includes a levy for sports, is $56,011.80. The financial impact for Quinte West for the Bay of Quinte Living Council at .50 per capita for a total of $21,543. Duncan Armstrong asked who made the decision to reduce the amount since the Bay of Quinte group had made a presentation to council two weeks ago that they needed all the funding, including $.25 per capita more. That decision did not come to the Bay of Quinte board of which he is a member. Grills said the decision to reduce it was made by the Bay of Quinte executive. Armstrong asked if there was

any discussion. “Who made the decision?� he asked. Grills said it was made by the executive director of Bay of Quinte Tourism, Jeremiah Mackenzie. Chair Rob Macintosh said, “We need to keep an eye on things. They made a decision without any contact with the board.� Suzanne Andrews, manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, said it was not right to charge more to Quinte West than Belleville who said no to the increase. MacIntosh said the director should not have made the decision by himself. “It should go to the board,� he said. Duncan Armstrong noted, “It didn’t go un-noticed. They pitched us that they needed it.�

Committee member Marie-Louise Larocque asked why they don’t have a contract. “They’re getting away with blue murder!� she said. Armstrong explained that an MOU is a new word for a contract. Al DeWitt asked, since there is a reduction in the Quinte West portion, did anyone step up and pay more? “The budget has to be met,� he said. “Did the homebuilders pay the extra?� Grills said the Quinte Realtors are involved, but the operational budget will have to be revised. Armstrong asked about the makeup of the council. “If they throw in some ads, do they get two votes?� he asked. “This should not be applicable.� Mike Kotsovos said they have to restructure how they are spending the money. Suzanne Andrews said the task team is making great headway in looking at board structure. “Change is happening,� she said. Rob MacIntosh noted that Ryan Gibbs has left the Tourism Advisory Committee and they need to find another member. Gibbs had been involved in the previous committee decision to not give the Bay of some activity with the doctor Quinte councils an increase this recruitment program with two new doctors coming this summer. Council funds a doctor for a year. She added that Pitch This Place is also happening in Belleville with free space in downtown for a year if someone submits a business proposal and wins. “Hydro is killing business,� Poste added. “Every visitor has said the pricing is too high. Building permits are down. There is also not a lot of building space for new business in Belleville.�

Quinte Manufacturing Association hosts conference in Quinte Pitch This Place launches in June in partnership with the Trenton DBIA and Trenval where someone could win free rent for their business for a year. Mayor Jim Harrison said the air base is not moving quite as quickly as they had hoped with the new JTF-2 section. Former landowner Sandercock asked if he could get in to work the land, plant 20 acres of corn and donate it to the food bank, but they told him no. Karen Poste from Belleville said there has been

who makes a living on tourism. “We need a good balance, not just councillors,� she said. MacIntosh noted they can only make recommendations from an approved list from the city clerk’s office.

News - Belleville/Quinte West - Mike Hewitt of the Quinte Manufacturing Association says they will host the 11th annual conference in the Quinte region in November. “Planning for this year’s conference has already started,� he told the Quinte Economic Development Commission. Hewitt said the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) has received the balance of funds for the first year of the project. Training rebates will be sent to the co-ordinating agencies. “We have requested the replacement of the $230,000 that was moved to the first year project,� he said. “This would restore the training rebates available to $450,000 available for the second year of the project.� Executive director Chris King said they have seen interest in local industries. There was a visit from Strathcona Energy on April 14, and they are meeting with other potential investors. Glenn Kozak, Trenval Business Development Corporation, said they are getting two new board members to make a total of 12 members, six male, six female. “This is the first time in 28 years we have been gender neutral,� he said. Kozak said a new business manufacturing steel mobile homes will be setting up in Quinte West, thanks to the introduction to Chris King and Trenval. They have received working capital and an EODP grant plus some help from Loyalist to get started. “We have the ability to move business,� he said. “That is the power of this centre with multiple partners.� Linda Lisle said a new program called

Capital Works progress report includes a few roads issues By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - A progress report by Tim Colasante, manager of engineering, to the Public Works Committee highlighted a few issues along the roads. “There are a few grade issues with the reconstruction of Huffman Road,â€? he said. Don Hart Construction is currently completing the installation of a new watermain following with the proposed storm sewer and road works. Completion is expected the ďŹ rst week of July, 2015.

Mill Street and North Trent Street reconstruction in Frankford is ongoing as Mulroony Trucking is completing the installation of the new watermain and the storm sewer. Re-routing the electrical supply to Foodland has been completed with Hydro One still to switch over the power sources. KG Reid Construction is on site installing the conduits for the proposed utility relocates including streetlights, Cogeco, Bell and signage. The Highway 2 resurfacing and water main replacement tender closed on April 9 with Cruickshank Construction having

the lowest cost of the four responses and was awarded the work. Construction is expected to be completed by November. Colasante noted the work is under budget by $200,000. Other projects are under budget by $300,000. Mayor Jim Harrison said he prefers roundabouts to be put in wherever possible instead of trafďŹ c lights, such as in the new Klemencic subdivision. Director of Public Works Chris Angelo said a trafďŹ c study will determine the need for controls over the next two years.

way down. Keith Reid asked about Zion Bridge if it would have culverts like on Rosebush Road. Angelo said they will have to consult with Lower Trent Conservation. “We need permits and do a Species at Risk study,� he said. Bob Lockwood asked if the pedestals by the library in Frankford are too close to the emergency doors. Tim Colasante said they will be moved over to go right up against the building.

She assists Connie with planning programs, working with youth in activities and outings, helping develop skills and meeting the needs and interests of the teens.

Shannonville racers start their engines By Stephen Petrick

Sports - Shannonville - The sound of engines revving and tires roaring along asphalt returned to the region last weekend. That means Shannonville Motorsport Park is open for the summer again. The racetrack, located a good drag race east of Belleville along Old Highway 2, held its first major event of the season on the Victoria Day weekend, motorcycle racing that was part of the 2015 Race Superseries. The Superseries returns to Shannonville for four other weekends of the summer: July 3 to 5, August 7 to 9, September 4 to 6 and September 25 to 27. Then there’s the Vintage Road Racing Association event June 4 to 7. Typically practice sessions take place in the mornings with the real races taking place in the afternoon. A busy season of drag racing, along the track’s north drag track, is also set to begin the weekend of June 12 to 14, with future rounds on July 10 to 12, August 21 to 23, September 11 to 13 and October 9 to 11. This is in addition to several other events and activities that keep the track busy throughout the summer, including racing schools, lapping and drifting events. Shannonville Motorsport Park has been a summer destination for racing enthusiasts since its opening in 1976, as every year hundreds of drivers and their families Two motorcyclists zoom through the front stretch of the Shannonville Motorsport Park track during a training session on Saturday, as part of the Race come for the racing, and the camaraderie, as many of them camp out on the front Superseries. It was the first major event of the season at the racetrack, east of Belleville on Highway 2. Photo: Stephen Petrick lawn behind the grandstand. “There’s some real die-hard enthusiasts that

love bike racing,” said Chris Chapelle, Shannonville’s race director. “They do come from all over. There’s people from the Montreal and Quebec City area this weekend and [from] as far away as Grand Bend and Toronto. It draws people from quite a few hundred miles away because it’s that central part of the country.” And few people are doing it to win prize money, although there is some available. “It’s for the fun of the sport,” Chapelle added. “At the regional level, there’s a teensy bit of prize money and a little bit of contingency, but they’re doing it to have fun. They’re coming to hang out with their friends at the track and it’s kind of like a family dynamic. A lot of people like that just as much as the racing.” Chapelle said there’s a healthy autoracing community in the Quinte area, noting there seems to be a strong number of vintage biking enthusiasts. He added that the events typically increase in attendance as the year goes on, culminating in large crowds at the September events, when riders have their last chances to win series points. But the casual atmosphere around Shannonville makes the racetrack an inviting place for racers and fans year round. After Saturday’s event, the riders and their families were treated to a wine and cheese, meet-and-greet event to welcome racers back after a long winter. “When we’re done racing there’s socializing and hanging out with people and listening to the stories of the day,” Chapelle said.
