The Digest

🏛️ Premier Ford’s Announcement

Premier Ford and Minister Surma will make an announcement today somewhere in PEC, but the location is undisclosed. Could it involve funding for Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital or County Road 49 repairs? The county has long sought financial help for these projects. What will they reveal? Some people said he stayed at the June Motel, however, he strikes me as more of a camping kind of guy. Where do you think he stayed? More on The Intelligencer.

🗳️ By-Election Begins

Advance voting for the Bay of Quinte by-election started Sunday and runs through September 13 at six locations. Voters can also vote in person at Belleville or Trenton returning offices until September 18. Election day is September 19. More details at Quinte News.
