This town ain’t big enough for both of us - The North Grenville Times There’s so much time and energy being spent on national and international issues and crises, and that is perfectly understandable and right.

Don’t we have an Official Plan, and a Strategic Plan? Is there any attempt being made to update them, or even to implement them?

The Kemptville budget crisis of 1996, part 2 - The North Grenville Times When more than 600 local residents gathered at the Fire Hall in Kemptville on March 18, 1996, there was a lot of anger in the room.

The Coalition would take this idea of supervision into their own hands, making it clear that they would take over decision-making in the Town of Kemptville from the elected Council. Things were getting serious.
