Many organizations will be coming to the Natural Heritage Expo at the 2022 Lakes and Trails Festival. They will showcase the wonderful natural features of South Frontenac: what they are, how to enjoy them, and how to improve them.
Included among the booths are:
- A pop-up library and giant lawn games from the Kingston-Frontenac Public Library.
- A pickleball demonstration by the Frontenac Pickleball Club.
- A “Collect and Protect” contest run by the Wolfe Lake Association to protect our lakes and wildlife from lead tackle. Everyone is encouraged to go through their tackle boxes, bag up any lead sinkers, jigs, etc., (we will also accept lead shot) and bring them to our booth. Please label your bag with contact information because prizes will be awarded to those turning in the most lead by weight. There will also be information on the deadly impacts of lead fishing tackle on wildlife, such as loons and bald eagles. Thank you for helping to protect wildlife. Let’s Get the Lead Out!
- Information on development processes, the Official Plan, Zoning, Building and Sewage approvals from the Township Development Services Department
- An obstacle course run by Elements Fitness & Wellness.
There will be booths, displays, maps, and people to talk with about South Frontenac’s natural wonders. Discover where you can hike, canoe or bike. Learn more about the natural environment, the local plants, animals and aquatic life. Find out about how to improve your property, help the environment, and much more.
