Welcome to North Shore News and Interviews on
0:10
Amherst Island Radio. Each week we keep you updated
0:14
on newsworthy events, happenings and conversations
0:17
that we've had with people in the local community
0:20
and beyond. On Tuesday, March 10th, the Amherst
0:30
Islander II will be moved to Kingston, but will
0:32
be available to provide backup for the Amherst
0:34
Island ferry service if required. With construction
0:37
continuing at their primary berth at the Kingston
0:39
dock, the Ministry of Transportation will be
0:41
relocating the Wolf Islander IV to Stella on
0:44
Wednesday, March 11th. The secondary berth at
0:46
the Kingston Dock is not yet configured for the
0:48
vessel to be moored there. Beginning March 4th
0:51
at 7pm, the Wolf Islander III will return to
0:53
service, operating from Kingston's secondary
0:55
berth on its regular 60 -minute schedule to accommodate
0:59
construction at the primary berth. The Wolf Islander
1:01
IV's electrical issue has been repaired, but
1:03
additional engineering work is needed at the
1:05
Kingston Dock's secondary berth to accommodate
1:08
the much larger vessel. Until this work is completed,
1:10
the Ministry of Transportation will be using
1:12
the Amherst Islander II in case a backup vessel
1:14
is needed. The Ministry of Transportation notes
1:16
that any questions or concerns can be directed
1:19
via email to mtofairyinfo at ontario .ca. For
1:24
Amherst Island Radio and the Local Journalism
1:26
Initiative, I'm Ted Evans. This is North Shore
1:30
News. Fourth year students from Toronto Metropolitan
1:42
University's Department of Architectural Science
1:44
will be on Amherst Island investigating the design
1:47
of small -scale housing for island residents
1:49
to age in place from March 6th to March 8th.
1:52
On Saturday, March 7th, the group will be working
1:54
out of the St. Paul's Presbyterian Church Hall
1:56
and will be making presentations at 11 .30 a
1:59
.m., 1 .30 p .m., and 3 .30 p .m. Anyone is welcome
2:02
to attend. The students will be designing a variety
2:05
of small -scale houses for island residents who
2:07
wish to downsize their housing and remain on
2:09
the island to age in place. Sustainable wood
2:12
construction is the predominant building material,
2:14
including ash trees harvested on the island,
2:16
and detached or semi -detached housing units
2:19
are the model they will be investigating. Attendees
2:21
are invited to drop by the church hall between
2:23
10am and 3pm on Saturday to meet the students,
2:26
hear about the research, and share thoughts on
2:28
the subject of housing on Amherst Island and
2:30
the aging in place. design. For Amherst Island
2:33
Radio and the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm
2:36
Ted Evans. This is North Shore News. Loyalist
2:48
Township Council heard a presentation about two
2:50
formal complaints alleging that Councillor Jake
2:53
Annis contravened the township's code of conduct
2:55
while supporting the appeal of a recent ward
2:57
boundary bylaw. The final integrity report found
3:00
that Ennis did not contravene the code. In May
3:03
2025, council enacted a bylaw to establish a
3:06
new ward boundary configuration. The bylaw was
3:09
then appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal by
3:11
a township resident and in December 2025, the
3:14
tribunal repealed the bylaw. Integrity Commissioner
3:16
with Aird and Berlis LLP, John Mascarin, explained
3:20
the complaints. There were two complaints. that
3:24
were filed on September the 17th and 18th. They
3:28
were formal complaints filed under the code of
3:32
conduct. Both complaints raised virtually identical
3:36
allegations against the counselor. They asserted
3:40
that he contravened two sections, sections 2
3:43
.2 and section 4 .1h of the code by publicly
3:49
opposing the bylaw and actively supporting the
3:54
appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Specifically,
4:00
the complaints allege that the councillor promoted
4:03
fundraising efforts, including a GoFundMe campaign,
4:07
to finance the appeal of the bylaw before the
4:10
tribunal. There are allegations that the complainant,
4:15
sorry, that the councillor attempted to find
4:18
a straw person to file the appeal and that his
4:24
wife led the fundraising efforts. The complainants
4:28
asserted that the councillor member's conduct
4:31
in doing all of these things demonstrated a lack
4:36
of respect for council's decision -making process.
4:40
and amounted to a covert attempt to undermine
4:43
a council decision that he did not support. Ms.
4:47
Guerin talked about their decision -making process.
4:50
We refer to the standard of proof. it's on a
4:54
civil standard, which is a balance of probabilities.
4:59
So it's not like a criminal standard where it's
5:02
beyond a reasonable doubt. All we have to do
5:04
is find that we believe that the member may be
5:08
more likely than not have contravened the code
5:11
and we could find a contravention. In this case,
5:16
we did not find that. We found that it was the
5:19
opposite. In our review of the materials and
5:23
the evidence appear to point to the member being
5:26
entitled to do what he did without contravening
5:30
the code. Ms. Guerin talked about another case
5:32
that influenced their decision. One of the main
5:35
reasons that we've made our determination is
5:39
based on an Ontario divisional court decision
5:42
in Jubinville versus Chatham -Kent. And that
5:46
involved a decision of the of the municipality
5:52
of Chatham -Kent and Councillor Jubinville fighting
5:57
against the decision and continuing to disagree
6:00
with the decision afterwards. That was brought
6:07
before the integrity commissioner in Chatham
6:10
-Kent. The integrity commissioner made a determination
6:15
on a provision that is very, very similar to
6:20
the one that is at play in this matter. And in
6:24
that case, the integrity commissioner felt that
6:26
Councillor Jubinville's efforts to fight against
6:31
the decision of council to seek an overturning
6:35
of council's decision was wrong and unreasonable.
6:40
And That went to court. And the court said the
6:44
integrity commissioner's determination was itself
6:48
unreasonable and overturned the decision. Ms.
6:52
Garan explains why this case may be even stronger.
6:55
In this particular case, it's an even stronger
6:59
indication because there is an as of right appeal
7:04
to any person to be able to file an appeal. We
7:08
believe that the determination in Jubinville
7:13
aligns very, very closely to this particular
7:18
instance. And in fact, this case may be even
7:22
stronger because there is an as of right appeal
7:25
to bring forward an appeal to the Ontario Land
7:30
Tribunal from a ward boundary review bylaw. Ms.
7:35
Skerrin detailed their final conclusion. Our
7:38
ultimate determination is that Councillor Ennis
7:41
did not breach the Code of Conduct Section 4
7:46
.1H and that is our determination. We did not
7:51
feel that he disrespected Council's decision.
7:55
He had a different view and he attempted to use
7:59
his rights. at law to counter that, whether it
8:04
was working with someone and helping forward
8:10
with the matter. Our conclusion is on a balance
8:14
of probabilities. We are not satisfied that Councillor
8:18
Anas failed to respect Council's decision -making
8:21
process in accordance with the specific wording
8:24
of the of the code of conduct. His conduct consisted
8:30
solely of publicly expressing disagreement and
8:34
supporting a lawful appeal process and perhaps
8:37
efforts to propagate a different view from council.
8:42
And it speaks about the importance of the decision.
8:45
I think the commissioner's decision is an important
8:48
one. It offers needed clarity on the code for
8:52
members and for members of the public. I think
8:56
the opportunity probably exists or may exist
8:59
for Loyalist staff and council at some point
9:03
in the future to consider updating Loyalist Code
9:06
of Conduct to ensure that its language is clear
9:09
and current in light of this decision and in
9:12
comparison to the codes of other municipalities.
9:15
I think it's worth noting that it's not It's
9:18
not just this complainant that had this notion
9:20
that once counsel makes a decision, counselors
9:24
are compelled to agree with it or remain silent.
9:26
I can remember doing AMO introduction to being
9:31
a counselor type training in my first year. And
9:35
the instructor there referred to the same old
9:38
notion. Even then, I didn't obviously agree with
9:41
the notion. For me, it was clear and it's clear
9:44
that I did not run for council to remain silent.
9:49
When I disagree with the majority of council,
9:51
I ran for council to, in my view, represent the
9:53
public interest. I think this decision and the
9:57
related OLT or bylaw decision are two important
10:02
positives for the advancement of democratic principles
10:06
in Loyalist Township. For Amherst Island Radio
10:08
and the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm Ted
10:11
Evans. This is North Shore News. While ALTO looks
10:23
to bring a high -speed train through rural parts
10:26
of Ontario, a citizen -led committee in the area
10:28
has been compiling concerns and complaints from
10:30
area residents. The committee, Save South Frontenac,
10:34
has a group on Facebook and a website where residents
10:36
can voice their concerns. Mainly, the committee
10:38
is against the idea of bringing the high -speed
10:40
train through the area altogether. They also
10:43
voice concerns about property rights, environmental
10:45
impacts, and noise levels. ALTO is currently
10:48
looking for public input about the project with
10:50
ways to participate on their website. They say
10:52
they're committed to working with communities
10:54
to identify potential impacts and address them
10:56
through design and mitigation. The company also
10:59
noted the importance of the participation and
11:01
involvement of Indigenous peoples at every stage
11:03
to support the federal government's commitment
11:05
to advance reconciliation. With trains reaching
11:08
speeds of 300 km per hour or more on approximately
11:11
1 ,000 km of mainly electrified tracks, Alto
11:14
claims it will connect millions of people living
11:16
along the Toronto to Quebec City corridor. The
11:19
company says its priority is to minimize impacts
11:21
on private property by following existing corridors,
11:24
such as highways, railways, utility corridors,
11:27
and lot lines whenever possible. Once an alignment
11:30
is defined, the company says it will be able
11:32
to identify the properties that could be involved.
11:34
Katie Koopman, one of the committee leaders,
11:36
spoke about their concerns. Our concern as citizens
11:41
of this community we love has a lot to do with
11:45
how the building of such a project will affect
11:48
both people and place. People in terms of having
11:53
properties, expropriated livelihoods. devastated
11:58
the use and enjoyment of the spaces we love,
12:02
the trail systems like the Cataraqui trail, but
12:05
then also the idea of place. We move here for
12:09
a reason, for peace, for some quiet and to raise
12:14
children and what we might think is a safer environment
12:18
to be more integrated into nature. And so we
12:22
think about how this project is going to devastate
12:27
the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, which is a UNESCO
12:30
heritage site. The idea of this has stirred a
12:36
lot of emotions, including grief, thinking about
12:40
the loss of all of this. And listening to community
12:45
members share their stories with us as a committee,
12:48
people are losing sleep. They're not sure if
12:53
they should be renovating their house. They're
12:58
worried about losing investments. And so what
13:01
our community or our committee is trying to do
13:04
is to create a platform for South Frontenac residents
13:11
to be able to voice their opinions and their
13:17
concerns, but also to provide advocacy tools.
13:20
to make some noise and let the government know
13:24
that this is not acceptable by us. Koopman spoke
13:28
about Alto's public consultation process. They
13:30
were only hosting open houses in the cities that
13:35
were going to get an actual stop or station.
13:37
So we made some noise and they heard us and they
13:41
honored a request, which was great, to have an
13:44
open house here in South Frontenac. Gord Bolton
13:48
and I are committee leads of, say, South Frontenac.
13:51
So we have phone chats almost every single day.
13:55
looking at what our, you know, re -evaluating
13:57
what our role and goal is, purpose as a committee,
14:00
how we can extend our reach. I reached out personally
14:04
to Peter Paz from Alto and they were very receptive
14:10
of our idea. Koopman detailed the outcome of
14:14
the committee's meeting with Alto and spoke about
14:16
their experience at Alto's open house in South
14:19
Frontenac. We had a meeting and their team was
14:22
very receptive. allowing for us to not even just.
14:26
bridge that sort of divide and share space, but
14:31
also to have free range. We were able to conduct
14:34
our own survey with community members. We were
14:37
able to identify ourselves as Save South Frontenac
14:42
team members at the event to be able to engage
14:47
freely and to also put our own posters up advertising
14:52
our own open house. It was very cordial. The
14:56
turnout was. Impressive. There was probably close
15:00
to 600 people that went through the first half,
15:03
I think, is what I heard. Alto noted where property
15:07
rights are required for the project, owners will
15:09
be compensated at market value for the property
15:12
being acquired, as well as for potential losses
15:14
and reasonable third -party fees incurred. Noting
15:17
concerns about environmental impacts, Alto said
15:19
the project will be subject to a federal impact
15:22
assessment that will evaluate environmental effects
15:24
and mitigation measures before any final alignment.
15:26
The company also noted that field studies are
15:29
underway to establish baseline noise levels and
15:32
additional data will be collected as route selection
15:34
progresses. Kingston City Council recently voted
15:37
9 -2 in support of having the high -speed rail
15:39
built in Kingston with a local station added
15:41
to the line. But as council discussed the proposal
15:43
and heard from senior representatives of Alto,
15:46
support grew for a new route along the Highway
15:48
401 corridor. The company told Kingston City
15:51
Council that the current public consultation
15:52
period is part of a development phase that is
15:55
set to last until after that, also will be government
15:59
and they will decision to continue the spoke
16:03
about Kingston City their tone at the council
16:08
relief. I think they fin for a train that could
16:19
ha neighbors. They started to in their current
16:26
position on where a train should be located.
16:30
We know that Kingston needs reliable rail. We
16:34
want to take advantage of that ourselves. But
16:37
we want the least impact possible and the maximum
16:41
benefit. Because if there was a train that went
16:44
through the southern corridor, South Frontenac
16:47
residents... will not benefit at all. We will
16:50
be in the loss. For Amherst Island Radio and
16:54
the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm Ted Evans.
16:57
This is North Shore News. Loyalist Township Council
17:09
agreed to support Quinty Conservation in applying
17:11
for funding from the Green Municipal Fund as
17:14
part of Growing Canada's Community Canopies Initiative.
17:17
Outreach and Stewardship Coordinator with Quinty
17:19
Conservation, Lindsay Nash, explains what the
17:22
organization is looking to do with the funding.
17:24
Quinty Conservation, alongside the Quinty Urban
17:27
Forest Network, is proposing to be the lead applicant
17:30
for the GMF fund. By doing this, we are providing
17:35
our 18 member municipalities the option to leverage
17:40
funding and staff support. for planting projects,
17:44
both existing and proposed, as long as the trees
17:48
haven't been planted by the time that we obtain
17:51
the funds. So as lead, Queenie Conservation will
17:55
focus on planting a diverse range of native tree
17:58
and shrub species. Nash spoke about what Queenie
18:01
Conservation expects from its partners. Queenie
18:03
Conservation's expectations in working with municipal
18:07
partners and private interest groups would include
18:10
a letter of support from council, a financial
18:12
contribution of 50%, a tree planting budget with
18:15
the source of funding identified, the identification
18:18
of existing and proposed programs so I can apply
18:22
it to the grant, and then identification of sites
18:26
where an increase in tree canopy would be beneficial
18:29
either on private or public lands. and any data
18:32
or current tree canopy studies to support or
18:35
identify the need for trees. So in exchange,
18:38
Quinney Conservation will coordinate administrative
18:40
and logistical aspects of the application. We
18:43
will assist with leveraging additional funding
18:45
where possible. We'll act as a liaison between
18:48
municipalities, local interest groups, and the
18:51
funders. And then we will also submit the final
18:54
reporting. Nash explained the application timeline.
18:57
My timeline for this grant As right now, I'm
19:01
going to municipal councils to obtain support
19:04
to apply it as lead applicant. This is important
19:07
because I cannot apply for this grant as lead
19:10
without support of council. We can partner with
19:14
other private interest groups like schools, rotary,
19:20
stewardship councils, churches, those kinds of
19:23
groups who usually do tree planting projects
19:27
regularly. So by the end of March is when I'd
19:31
be looking for municipalities to respond to me
19:33
with project participation and a general project
19:37
outline what they want to do and what they have
19:40
going on and then by the end of April I'm planning
19:43
on formally applying for the fund with a professionally
19:46
reviewed planting plan and an urban forestry
19:49
grant coach which would be supplied by the GMF
19:53
fund. Nash went on to note when things would
19:55
move forward. So there's about a six to eight
19:58
month waiting period after applying before hearing
20:02
back which would put us at tree planting for
20:05
fall of 2026 or spring of 2027. Now we do have
20:10
a period of two years before to use up the grant
20:13
so we do have a little bit of wiggle room in
20:15
that regard. and then for the following years
20:18
we would maintain and monitor the planted trees.
20:21
Nash spoke about eligible initiatives under the
20:23
grant. Funding opportunities are for long -term
20:27
and permanent tree planting and forestry intention
20:31
and it's actually a really wide range of tree
20:35
planting projects that would qualify for this
20:37
grant and that includes street tree planting,
20:40
urban planting, park tree planting, riparian
20:43
planting, forest restoration, and reforestation
20:47
on both public and private lands. A maintenance
20:51
plan and a survival assessment report are required
20:54
following each project, so as long as they can
20:58
be assessed after planting, then that would make
21:01
it eligible. Nash noted why it makes sense to
21:04
work with a number of municipalities. So this
21:06
is a 50 % match cost share grant with a minimum
21:10
project cost of $50 ,000. Now, a lot of our municipalities
21:15
and private interest groups don't have $50 ,000
21:17
to put forth for tree planting, which is the
21:21
benefit of all grouping together for this grant.
21:25
So half of the budget would be covered by the
21:28
GMF fund and the other half could come from either
21:31
municipal budget. Other funds could come from
21:34
private interest groups that may do fundraising.
21:37
And other grants, we can stack grants as long
21:41
as they're not funded by the Two Billion Trees
21:44
program or Trees Canada. Nash explained why tree
21:47
planting initiatives are good for the community.
21:49
Implementing a watershed -wide tree planting
21:52
initiative through different levels of partnership
21:54
creates capacity for the community to work together
21:57
while supporting climate resilience close to
22:00
home. There's many benefits to planting trees,
22:04
specifically climate resiliency through flood
22:06
retention, which is a big interest of Queenie
22:10
Conservation. But then trees also provide many
22:13
other benefits, including reducing carbon dioxide
22:16
from the air and producing oxygen, which is good
22:20
for physical health. Trees reduce heat island
22:23
effects in urban areas. They cool buildings in
22:25
the summer with shade and provide wind breaks
22:27
to buildings in the winter. Connecting with nature
22:30
and trees improves mental health. And planting
22:34
a diverse native tree species promotes healthy
22:37
soils. and habitats for a wide range of insects,
22:40
birds and mammals that reside in the Quinty area
22:44
specifically. So this aligns really well with
22:47
Quinty Conservation's vision to advance watershed
22:49
knowledge and collective actions to strengthen
22:53
our natural ecosystems. For Amherst Island Radio
22:56
and the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm Ted
22:58
Evans. This is North Shore News. The Southeast
23:11
Health Unit office in Napanee will be continuing
23:13
its lease in a smaller capacity at a lesser rate.
23:16
Originally, they were going to close at the end
23:18
of March. The health unit has now agreed to reduce
23:20
their footprint within the building by approximately
23:22
75 percent. As their lease agreement is based
23:25
on square footage occupied, this has reduced
23:27
their rent from approximately $1 ,825 to $430
23:32
for the final 20 months of the agreement term.
23:34
The town's clerk, Jessica Walters, explains why
23:37
staff believe this is in the best interest for
23:39
the community. In short, the health unit is now,
23:42
they had initially given us a notice of termination
23:44
effective March 31st. The budget was presented
23:48
on the assumption that they would no longer be
23:50
in there after that date. They have subsequently
23:53
submitted a request to continue their lease but
23:56
on amended terms with a reduced footprint in
23:58
the building and therefore reduced cost. Staff
24:01
believe this is in the best interest of the community
24:03
because it would let us maintain the vaccine
24:05
clinics and the fridge for well water testing
24:09
and any other services they might wish to offer
24:12
there through that office space. CAO Matthew

Grant explains the reduction in space and why
24:18
he supports them staying open. Myself, Mr. Brown
24:20
and Ms. Walters met with the public health team.
24:25
And so it does represent a significantly reduced
24:28
footprint within the building. It's essentially
24:32
a room to keep the vaccines as well as the the
24:36
front reception area. And as a building tenant,
24:40
it still allows them access to the large meeting
24:43
space to run vaccine clinics. So I'm quite supportive
24:49
of it. I do know that the the public health unit
24:52
has had some challenges to navigate since they've
24:57
merged the different units into one single unit.
25:01
And so as they're looking to reduce costs wherever
25:05
they can, this was a way they felt they could
25:07
do that while still maintaining service to the
25:11
community. And generally, this results in people
25:14
not having to travel to Kingston for vaccines.
25:17
And I think that's where the win is for residents.
25:20
Councillor Bill Martin expressed a concern he
25:22
had about neighbouring communities using the
25:24
service. I think we have to do it just to maintain
25:27
the services to our residents. But it concerns
25:30
me that we're always asked to pay for a service
25:33
for other communities, because this is going
25:36
to be used by more than just Napanee residents.
25:39
It's going to be, you know, it's Kingston, Frontenac,
25:42
L &A, Prince Edward County. You know, so I'm
25:46
concerned about that part of it actually that
25:48
we're paying, our taxpayers are paying for a
25:52
service for other communities. But like I said,
25:54
I don't want our residents to lose any services
25:57
either. Grant noted the benefits and said they
25:59
wouldn't be paying for other municipalities.
26:02
I don't know that we're necessarily... paying
26:04
us for other municipalities. I think the benefit
26:07
is maintenance of vaccine clinics here, which
26:10
will primarily be for our residents. I would
26:12
say the only benefit other municipalities may
26:15
be getting is that the vaccine supply chain in
26:20
this immediate area of 41 and the like will come
26:23
through Napanee. But I don't anticipate that
26:27
other municipalities will be getting a direct
26:29
benefit from the use of our space other than
26:32
that. Mayor Terry Richardson showed his support
26:34
for the health unit staying open, but noted a
26:37
concern as well. I'm hopeful that our staff aren't
26:39
going to do any more than what they're doing
26:41
now. Obviously, the concern is if it's not staffed
26:45
five days a week, there's a possibility there,
26:47
but I'm sure Mr. Grant and the senior leadership
26:50
team will be monitoring that fairly closely.
26:52
And it's a little bit refreshing in the fact
26:54
that the Health Unit has now realized that it's
26:57
important to have a brick and mortar type of
27:00
facility within our community that you just cannot
27:02
do it remotely. For Amherst Island Radio and
