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. Loyalist Township Council has decided
0:27
to go ahead with a new staff plan to relocate
0:30
programming from the Leisure and Activity Centre
0:32
in Amherst View. Staff looked at feedback from
0:35
residents and completed a review on the space.
0:38
Staff's review confirmed recreation service levels
0:40
can be maintained through a combination of municipal
0:43
space and third -party facility use. Based on
0:45
program testing conducted in May and June, staff
0:48
found that the W .J. Henderson Community Centre
0:50
is only suitable for low -volume fitness programming,
0:53
but due to a number of factors including room
0:55
layout, ceiling height, acoustics, privacy and
0:58
overall functionality considerations, high -volume
1:01
fitness classes are better suited to third -party
1:03
spaces. Staff noted that deferring the closure
1:06
beyond August 1st, 2026 would impact ongoing
1:09
discussions related to childcare in the Township
1:11
and space negotiations with BGC Southeast. Members
1:15
of the community were out to voice concerns including
1:17
programming, scheduling, cost and location. This
1:21
is our community centre. The dispensing of programs
1:24
in multiple locations takes a step back. from
1:28
the goal of centralizing programs under one roof.
1:31
It is not about the boys and girls' deadline,
1:34
but about making the correct decision for the
1:36
whole community. Council should think carefully
1:39
and not be pressured into making this decision
1:41
to fit the Kingston Boys and Girls Club schedule.
1:43
There's a saying, your emergency is not my problem.
1:46
This decision should be made with complete information,
1:49
careful consideration and without haste. It took
1:52
years to develop LAC. I acknowledge the work
1:55
to come up with a plan in short. in a short period
1:57
of time but this plan is in no way ready to implement
2:01
in such short notice. I think it is great that
2:03
the Boys and Girls Club have a chance of obtaining
2:06
a grant to open a daycare and knowing this it
2:09
gives me no pleasure to say that I believe their
2:11
benefits should not be our losses. I believe
2:15
renting these spaces in different locations that
2:18
is not under one roof will be problematic as
2:21
it has been in the past for staff and members
2:23
and these programs will also be more vulnerable
2:26
because now We are not owners, we are renters.
2:29
Manager of Parks and Recreation with the Township
2:31
Matthew Sobulski speaks about maintaining service
2:34
levels. In this report we have addressed that
2:37
service levels that are expected are maintained.
2:41
So we do have 20 hours of fitness classes that
2:43
are outlined in this report and 75 % of those
2:48
programs that are going to be moving to an alternative
2:50
location will be moving to Rhythm Dance Centre
2:52
and the other 25 % would be moving to the WJH
2:56
Community Room. as an alternative location. So
2:59
it does maintain our current service levels as
3:01
outlined in this report. Councillor Paul Broderick
3:04
spoke about residents' concerns. I guess I've
3:06
been troubled since the start because the word
3:09
closure, I prefer the word relocation, but that's
3:12
just my English teaching background. In the surveys
3:16
that were presented to council, there was 152
3:20
submissions on this. Number one was program availability
3:24
at 86%. And 93 % of the 152 respondents wanted
3:31
adequate programming. Praderick went on to speak
3:34
about the importance of daycare in Loyalist Township.
3:37
If you walk around parts of the township, there
3:39
are lots of people looking for daycare. I think
3:43
most, some of the questions have been answered.
3:45
The big question is can you have getting it all
3:47
under one roof? And right now I don't see that
3:50
as an option. I firmly believe in daycare and
3:56
But I'm firm on the daycare. And if it costs
3:59
me, if I should run again for election, so be
4:01
it. I think it's the right decision. And it can
4:05
only help our growing township. And I will stand
4:08
by that. Deputy Mayor Nathan Townand explains
4:11
staff and council's focus. I think throughout
4:14
this process over the last couple of months,
4:17
the word I would use to describe what we have
4:20
been trying to do here in collaboration with
4:23
staff, obviously at ground level, is accommodation.
4:28
We are trying to accommodate the feedback that
4:32
we've had from residents and users of the LAC.
4:36
We're obviously trying to accommodate child care
4:39
spaces. We're trying to accommodate the provincial
4:43
government's timeline for the funding that will
4:46
make those spaces possible. And so from our side,
4:49
the work has been... accommodation. The flip
4:52
side to that from members of the public is is
4:55
compromise. And, you know, I want to acknowledge
4:58
that, you know, we are asking residents and users
5:01
to compromise, you know, we are asking users
5:04
to compromise the fact that the LAC has been
5:07
this particular space that has functioned a particular
5:11
way and meant a particular thing to those users.
5:14
And now we are changing that town and went on
5:17
to explain their decision. We have tried to accommodate
5:20
and staff in particular have worked hard to do
5:24
that. There were comments made about the change
5:27
in this report versus the original report and
5:31
things do change and the democratic process has
5:35
worked here in this situation. We heard the feedback
5:41
and we responded to the feedback and staff have
5:44
responded to the feedback and staff have worked
5:46
to make adjustments and change courses to try
5:51
and, as I say, accommodate. I do think this is
5:54
in. overall the best interests of the township.
5:57
I don't want the narrative here to be that young
6:00
people were chosen over old people, that child
6:02
care spaces were chosen over seniors. That is
6:05
a politicized and simplistic way of looking at
6:08
it that I don't feel is the case. We are trying
6:11
to accommodate our residents and the needs of
6:15
our residents and that requires some compromise.
6:20
Councillor Jake Ennis noted the importance of
6:22
childcare in the area. I'm sympathetic to the
6:26
need for childcare. My youngest is in junior
6:30
kindergarten, so I've been through the daycare
6:33
process for two children recently. It's not easy.
6:37
It's expensive. Where responsibility lies for
6:39
making that happen across various organizations
6:43
and levels of government. However, I also believe
6:46
that a large portion of the community sees this
6:51
closure as a cut to their recreation services.
6:56
And I find it difficult to argue with them in
7:00
principle. Councillor Carol Parks spoke about
7:02
their decision making process. From conversation
7:05
with several residents in regards to the lack
7:09
closure. it really is, the deputy has mentioned,
7:13
a change of venue or consideration for change
7:16
of venue. And the original report that came out,
7:18
it was moving everything under the WHC. So we
7:22
did take that information back from the residents
7:25
that was brought forward about the concerns about
7:27
the location and changed course. And I think
7:31
staff has provided some fairly substantial alternatives
7:35
to the LAC to run the programming between the
7:39
Rhythm Dance Center and also through the Presbyterian
7:42
Church. In an effort to accommodate the needs
7:44
of everyone involved, council voted in favor
7:46
of the new plan. For Amherst Island Radio and
7:50

7:53
This is North Shore News. Loyalist Township has
8:04
announced they've passed 80 % of their fundraising
8:07
goal for the W .J. Henderson revitalization campaign.
8:10
With construction underway, donations continue
8:12
to bring them closer to their $2 million goal.
8:15
Volunteer and donor to the campaign, Jennifer,
8:17
speaks about why she got involved and notes how
8:20
donations can be made. I believe spaces like
8:23
this foster a sense of community. Even though
8:25
I've only been living in Loyalist for a few years,
8:28
supporting this campaign felt like a meaningful
8:30
way to help ensure that everyone in our community
8:32
will have a bright, modern space to connect,
8:35
stay active, and make memories. A gift of $1
8:38
,000 will be permanently recognized on our donor
8:41
wall, creating a lasting legacy for you or your
8:45
family. You can also make your donation conveniently
8:48
in installments with automatic payments at the
8:51
interval of your choosing. That's how I contributed
8:54
to the campaign. The Township is preparing to
8:56
reopen the Barhomes Aquatic Center later this
8:58
summer. As the campaign moves towards completion,
9:00
the Township is looking back on the past 50 years
9:03
during which the building has served as a gathering
9:05
place for the community. The Township is inviting
9:07
community members to share moments that have
9:09
shaped the building's history. Photos, stories,
9:12
and memories should be submitted by August 31,
9:15
2026. All submissions will be entered into a
9:17
free draw to win one free hour of ice time. Selected
9:20
submissions may be featured on Digi - displays
9:22
inside the center. For Amherst Island Radio and
9:25
the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm Ted Evans.
9:29
This is North Shore News. Loyalist Township Council
9:41
has agreed to a request made by the Odessa Agricultural
9:44
Society to waive fees for emergency services
9:47
at the tractor pole and demolition derby during
9:50
the Odessa Fair taking place July 24th to 26th.
9:54
Secretary and volunteer with the society Stephanie
9:56
Gimo spoke about the fair and the increase in
9:59
costs. The Odessa Fair has been a staple of Odessa
10:02
for 191 years and has traditionally relied on
10:06
emergency fire services at no cost us for fair
10:10
events. This by -law is a drastic increase to
10:13
our budget that we had not foreseen. As a non
10:17
-profit volunteer -run organization, we do not
10:20
have the reserve funds to cover the substantial
10:23
cost increase to operate these community favourite
10:26
events at the annual fair. Gimo noted the breakdown
10:30
of costs for emergency services. Deputy Chief
10:33
Grenham stated that the Agricultural Society
10:36
would be required to pay for the Fire Emergency
10:39
Services for the Tractor Pull and Demolition
10:42
Derby at the annual Odessa Fair taking place
10:46
July 24th to 26th. Based on the hours the Fire
10:49
Department was required for these events in 2025,
10:54
the cost would be $8 ,472 .20 for the Tractor
10:59
Pull and $3 ,230 .52 for the Demolition Derby,
11:06
totaling $11 ,000. $703 .20. These fees include
11:11
the MTO's apparatus hourly rate and the hourly
11:15
wage of each firefighter for these events. Alongside
11:19
partnering with the Township for events like
11:21
Trunk or Treat, Gimo spoke about how proceeds
11:23
from the fair are used and how important the
11:26
agricultural grounds are for the community. The
11:28
proceeds from the fair enable the Agricultural
11:31
Society to continue to maintain the agricultural
11:34
grounds and its buildings. The grounds offer
11:37
a park -like setting for the community to enjoy,
11:40
and the large palace building is a space for
11:42
the community to come together. The Lions Club
11:45
prepares the holiday baskets in this space, and
11:48
free events for families such as see and learn
11:50
are held on the fairgrounds. With the original
11:53
staff recommendation being to receive the delegation
11:55
request from the society, Councilor Jake Ennis
11:58
also added the motion to waive the fees. I would
12:01
move that Council receive the delegation request
12:04
from the Odessa Agricultural Society. and to
12:07
approve the request for waiver of emergency services
12:10
fees. So moved. Do I have a seconder? Councillor
12:12
Buechert. NS noted possible funding options for
12:15
the future. I think it's a long -standing event,
12:19
a community event that we're supporting. And
12:21
I think perhaps if we support it this year, the
12:26
organization could look to the community grant
12:27
fund in the future as a possibility. But I think
12:32
it's a long -standing event that we... should
12:34
continue to support. Councillor Mike Budarek
12:36
spoke about the importance of supporting events
12:37
like the fair in the community. I believe too
12:40
that we should support anything that gets people
12:43
in our community out and such a long -standing
12:46
tradition of the Odessa Fair and even the track
12:49
pool is fantastic. Great crowds and it's great
12:54
to see. people in our community come out and
12:56
support things. Council also asked for a staff
12:58
report to help guide decisions for future events.
13:01
Councillor Paul Proderick noted why they want
13:03
the report. There's no doubt that over the years
13:05
this has been a very valuable, you know, 191
13:08
years. I think that's why all my grandparents
13:10
were at that fair when they lived in Railton.
13:13
And as we sort of move ahead we want to quantify
13:16
things just so we get an overall picture and
13:18
a staff report looking at that for next year
13:21
maybe there's a Back and forth questions that
13:23
can be answered such as, you know, do you really
13:24
need six firefighters or whatever? Things like
13:27
that that can come out of a report. For Amherst
13:29
Island Radio and the Local Journalism Initiative,
13:32
I'm Ted Evans. This is North Shore News. Loyalist
13:44
Township will be recognizing October 10th, 2026
13:47
as National Dental Care Day. Council heard from
13:50
founder of the day, Dr. Raj Kanuja, who spoke
13:53
about the importance of improving access to oral
13:55
health care. Kanuja explains how and why he started
13:58
the initiative. National Dental Care Day started
14:01
from one simple moment. Years ago, I met a single
14:05
mother who was living with severe dental pain.
14:08
She avoided treatment because she could not afford
14:11
it. She told me she was saving every dollar she
14:15
had so she could keep a promise to buy used hockey
14:18
equipment for her child. She chose her child
14:22
over herself. That moment stayed with me because
14:25
dental pain is not just about teeth. It affects
14:29
confidence, sleep, work, mental health. and dignity.
14:34
That is why National Dental Care Day was created.
14:37
Kanuja speaks about how the initiative has grown
14:39
and notes numbers from last year. What started
14:43
as one free dental day has now grown into a national
14:47
movement after 13 years of volunteer care. Last
14:51
year alone, 219 Canadians received care across
14:55
the country through volunteer clinics. and professionals.
14:59
National Dental Care Day was proclaimed by 25
15:02
municipalities, three premiers, and two lieutenant
15:06
governors. It was also spoken about in the Senate
15:10
of Canada by Senator Muhammad Iqbal Rawalia and
15:14
entered into the Hansard Parliamentary record.
15:18
National Dental Care Day mobilizes volunteer
15:20
dental professionals, students, clinics, educators
15:23
and community partners across Canada to provide
15:25
essential dental care to underserved individuals
15:28
and families without cost, barriers or judgment.
15:31
The initiative emphasizes the importance of oral
15:33
health as an essential component of overall health
15:36
and well -being. Kanuja explains the importance
15:38
of bringing National Dental Care Day to more
15:40
communities. The need for dental care is not
15:43
limited to one city. or one region. It exists
15:48
dentistry is expensive and care forces many people
15:55
t teeth, hide their smile a Loyalist Township

For Amherst Island Radio and the Local Journalism
17:39
Initiative, I'm Ted Evans. This is North Shore
17:42
News. The County of Lenox and Addington has started
17:54
a Schedule C municipal class environmental assessment
17:57
to review and improve key intersections along
17:59
County Road 2. The study will look at options
18:02
to enhance safety, traffic flow, and long -term
18:04
design at the intersections of County Road 1
18:07
and County Road 2, as well as County Road 5 and

18:38
Journalism Initiative, I'm Ted Evans. This is
18:42
North Shore News. Construction of the new pump
18:52
track at Loyalist Park in Amherstview has begun.
18:55
The expected completion date is July 30th. Thanks
18:58
to a confidential donation of $500 ,000, the
19:01
construction of the pump track will not impact
19:03
the township's budget. It will be developed at
19:05
no cost to Loyalist Township other than staff
19:08
time to oversee it. The entire project, including
19:11
the skate park, is estimated to cost approximately
19:13
$1 million and is being completed in two phases.
19:17
Phase 1 is the construction of the pump track,
19:19
including a skate bowl, while Phase 2 will include
19:22
the completion of the remaining skate park features,
19:24
subject to securing additional funding. Council
19:27
heard a presentation in June of 2025 from New
19:30
Line Skateparks, an engineering firm with expertise
19:33
in skate park construction. Now with approval,
19:35
the company is beginning construction. A public
19:37
consultation process is currently taking place
19:39
on the Township's website. Vice President and
19:42
Director of Business Development with New Line
19:44
Skateparks Trevor Morgan spoke about the benefits
19:46
of the skateparks and pump tracks they build
19:48
and the one they're looking to build in Loyalist
19:51
Township. Very integrated green space, connections
19:55
to pathways, colour, texture, art installations
19:59
that can be very exciting to Put a signature,
20:03
I guess, of the community within the architecture
20:05
of the park, even through different lighting
20:07
schemes, if that's something that's desired,
20:09
and then accessibility. You're likely to have
20:11
folks from the adaptive community who would like
20:13
to ride this park. So yeah, every park has its
20:16
story and we hope there's a story to be told
20:18
here with the Township. Morgan noted the potential
20:21
boost in tourism the facility could bring. A
20:24
network of these parks are being created in communities
20:27
across Canada and across Ontario and There's
20:30
a large population that will want to experience
20:33
each different unique park and communities and
20:35
they'll purposely travel around, stop in these
20:38
communities, visit, spend money at local businesses,
20:41
maybe even spend a night. I know when I was 12
20:43
years old on the family trip and I was an avid
20:46
skateboarder, I could be very influential to
20:48
spend an extra night in the community if they
20:50
had that one skate park. Morgan spoke about the
20:52
potential of events at the facility as well.
20:54
You're likely to have user groups and community
20:57
groups that will say, hey, we would love to have
21:00
some some level of organized events there that
21:02
could be lessons nights some community -based
21:06
contests and so forth and so we really try to
21:09
design a modern park with that in mind. Councillor
21:13
Paul Prodrick spoke about neighboring communities
21:15
and their skate parks as well as what a new one
21:18
in Amherstview could do for the community. I
21:20
think the closest one to us is Napanee and then
21:23
you go to Picton's got a great site but again
21:25
it's it's probably 20 years old now I think it
21:28
becomes a hub. for gathering and it fits into
21:32
the master recreation plan also an opportunity
21:36
to add something to the community and I think
21:38
we haven't had a recreational facility addition
21:42
in well over I'm going to say 40 years and again
21:45
it's just through the the leadership of a community
21:48
member who wishes to help out in times where
21:51
we don't have a lot of money to do a lot of things
21:54
that we'd like to do. Councillor Jake Ennis spoke
21:56
about the donation and choice of the donor. It's
21:59
a very generous donation. They're very appreciative
22:02
for the donation and I think the donor is chosen
22:08
well. It's an amenity that focuses on youth and
22:12
one that I think will be very well used. Deputy
22:15
Mayor Nathan Townand showed his appreciation
22:17
towards the donor as well as what the project
22:19
will do for youth in the area. It's incredibly
22:22
generous and provides an amazing opportunity
22:26
for us and to appreciate the particular kinds
22:29
of youth that something like this can engage
22:33
based on the whole lifestyle and culture that
22:35
goes with it. Not one I claim to understand.
22:37
I think it's not just youth engagement writ large
22:42
in some sort of big, broad context. This is something
22:45
quite specific that I think will cater to members
22:49
in our community that otherwise don't have a
22:52
facility like this. I do go by the one in Napanee
22:58
quite regularly and it is a gathering place.
23:01
You see all sorts of demographics and ages and
23:04
different usage of it so I fully support this.
23:08
Mayor Jim Hagedorn spoke about the progress in
23:10
access to skateboarding facilities and shared
23:12
a story from his youth. I was in my teens on
23:15
probably a $10 skateboard trying to go down the
23:19
largest hill where I lived at the time called
23:21
Big Hill and with blind corners. It's come a
23:24
long way. When I was young, I've actually seen
23:27
some of the like may dock, they have a nice one
23:30
there. I remember when they were building the
23:34
first phase. And I was kind of like, what is
23:36
going on in there? And now to see it now, it's
23:40
been developed into the whole park is basically
23:43
devoted to this now. And it's packed all the
23:46
time. It is something that is what I believe
23:49
will be well used. And this is a Great opportunity,
23:52
I think, for Lilas Township to be able to provide
23:55
another amenity new to the community that will
23:59
be used, very well used, I believe, for an extended
24:02
period of time. For Amherst Island Radio and
24:05

This is North Shore News. Loyalist Township Council
24:20
pre -approved $900 ,000 in the 2027 capital budget
24:24
for the purchase of a new tanker for the Amherst
24:26
View fire station. They will also use nearly
24:28
$85 ,000 from the 2026 capital budget for the
24:32
down payment. Council had already approved the
24:34
purchase of a new tanker for the Amherst Island
24:35
fire station in the 2026 capital budget and were
24:38
informed the tanker in Amherst View has reached
24:40
the end of its useful life. With fire apparatus
24:43
costs continuing to rise each year, staff noted
24:46
that delaying the purchase would see an increase
24:48
of at least $125 ,000 for 2027. Fire chief Kent
24:52
Readman spoke about the importance of getting
24:54
pre -approval. There'll be no cost incurred this
24:58
year, no additional cost incurred this year by
25:00
the Township. This will be all on the 2027 capital
25:03
budget, so it will save. $125 ,000 plus in next
25:09
year's budget if we can do it this spring, as
25:12
opposed to waiting eight months. There's some
25:15
significant price increases coming down the pipe
25:18
here, and we're just trying to get ahead of it.
25:21
Councillor Mike Bodereck noted the importance
25:22
of trying to save money. I just appreciate that
25:25
the Chief's trying to get ahead of this and save
25:27
us a little money, so it's always appreciated
25:29
with how tight times are these days. Councilor
25:32
Paul Proderick showed his support for the pre
25:33
-approval. A hundred thousand is a good savings
25:36
and given the experiences of the last few months.
25:40
The value of our emergency services cannot be
25:43
measured in dollars and move ahead with this
25:45
as soon as possible. The emergency services department
25:47
looks to order the same tanker that was ordered
25:49
for Amherst Island and remain consistent with
25:52
their fleet for the next 20 to 25 years. The
25:55
two old tankers will be sold and are expected
25:57
to generate nearly $75 ,000. This will be applied
26:00
to the fleet reserve for future apparatus purchases.
