Recreation Guide Spring and Summer Township of South Frontenac Community Information Recreation Guide Township of South Frontenac - District Recreation Committees Salute the Recreation Guide - Thank you to all Advertisers This page is jointly sponsored by the four district Recreation Committees of Bedford, Loughborough, Portland & Storrington “Volunteers are the backbone of a community. They are the unsung heroes who make good things happen.” ~ Former Mayor Phil Leonard The township’s four District Recreation Committees are comprised of dedicated volunteers who organize, promote and manage important community programs such as baseball, soccer, Canada Day celebrations, summer day camps and swim programs. The committees ensure township park facilities are in top playing condition for the local associations that raise funds and organize team sports. Monitoring and maintenance of beaches, boat ramps, community centres, cross country trails, and playgrounds are also a priority. Each district controls and is responsible for its own recreational programs and facilities. The Recreation Committees of Bedford, Loughborough, Portland & Storrington strive to build community spirit. They encourage children of all ages to participate in recreational activities, learn teamwork and build healthy bodies. Bedford District Councillor David Hahn Karen Green Donna Brown Betty O’Connor Loughborough District Councillor Gary Davison Mike Howe Brenda Law Debbie Szumlanski Dave Cooke Vic Brown Joe Green Stan Palmer Paul Wash Tom McIlwrich Allan McPhail Janette Haase Portland District Councillor Don Smith Councillor Wm. Robinson Joanne Abrams Angela Maddocks Nicki VanCamp Lori Jeffrey Storrington District Councillor Jack Barr Councillor Peter Roos John Allum Ron Ball Ralph Boston Annie Campbell Kevin Fox Kent Labbett Karen Norman Norm Roberts Ellwood Rollins Jen Williams Each district is responsible for its own operating and capital expenditures. Ultimate approval and responsibility for them is vested in council via the district councillors. The four district recreation committees are responsible for a total annual operating budget of approximately half a million dollars, or about 5% of the township’s operating budget. The total district capital expenditures average about $500,000 annually or 10% of the township’s capital expenditures. Meetings are open to the public. Delegations are welcome when major issues come before the committees. The Township Recreation Committee, or Central Recreation Committee, is comprised of the chair and vice chair from each district Recreation Committee. It has been assembled to tackle such priorities as the Master Recreation Plan and the full safety review and report on the township’s parks’ playground equipment.

The Guide has improved every issue and holds a wealth of information to benefit all readers, especially those looking to participate in activities across the Township. As with all community events and groups, we rely heavily on the involvement of volunteers. Without them, many of these programs would not exist or our ability to provide them would be severely compromised. To these people, we offer our sincere appreciation. As well, we would like to thank the advertisers who make this guide possible. Without their financial support, we would not be able to produce and distribute the guide. Please do your best to patronize these businesses as it is through their economic prosperity that they will be here in the future to continue to assist with these types of activities. South Frontenac Township is a large geographic area with a great diversity of interests. Hopefully by participation, you will enrich both yourself and the community as a whole. Perhaps this will inspire you and your friends to also look at new activities that could be included in the next edition. Please read this guide carefully to see what may be of specific interest to you and keep it mind for the coming year for yourself, your family and your friends. By participating in these activities, we make South Frontenac a vibrant community in which we are all proud to live. Thanks to all involved in this guide for making it such a wonderful s uccess.
