In a letter sent to the province Tuesday, the city of Kingston, along with Lennox and Addington County and KFL&A Public Health, asked the province for more regional powers during the coronavirus pandemic. “Together we’re asking the province to consider a regional approach to the easing of restrictions in places where the COVID-19 situation is evolving differently than other parts of the province,” the letter, addressed to premier Doug Ford, read.
Medical officer of health for KFL&A Public Health Dr. Kieran Moore, Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson, Napanee Warden Marg Isbester and County of Frontenac Warden Frances Smith all signed off on the letter sent to Ford, which was attached to a proposal of how the regional allowances would work.
