Fees to flow in even without water/sewer connection in Kawartha Lakes

Elmslie said while he backed the Fenelon Falls pilot project, “I never really liked what we did with this whole thing, charging people for services they don’t get.” He said he realizes those affected will ultimately benefit from the municipal services, the requirements the city has implemented may not have been the best route to take.

Response to the Balsam Lake Association

In an effort to encourage property owners on Balsam Lake to participate in the upcoming election, I was approached by the Director and Treasurer of the Balsam Lake Association, David Donais, to submit information and viewpoints relevant to the Balsam Lake community.

Arts & Culture in Ward 3

In terms of my arts involvement, I have been a supporter of The Lindsay Art Gallery, on many issues that have come to council. In addition I work with the group Fenelon Live, whose mandate is to bring Live Performances to our area, an example of a recent success was Simcoe Day and the 1812/14 re-enactment. Also, I am working with a group who wants to bring live outdoor theater performances to the area, and I also work with a group that wants Public Art displays on the street, an example are the hangings on the Fenelon Bridge, and finally, I have long supported the Fenelon Art Gallery and their very important festival held on Labour Day weekend.
