Frontenac County, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frontenac County, Ontario is a special-purpose management unit and a census division of the Canadian province of Ontario. The population in 2001 was 138,606. The board's headquarters is in Kingston. While a traditional Ontario county prior to 1998, it was abolished as part of municipal restructuring and amalgamations, and replaced by a management unit with extremely limited powers. For example, the current Frontenac County does not have a county road system, nor does it manage social services beyond a limited scope as outlined by the province. While new development does require board approval, the board does not have the ability to outline new development themselves.
The board, or "County Council", presides over these municipalities:
- Township of Central Frontenac
- Township of Frontenac Islands
- Township of North Frontenac
- Township of South Frontenac
The City of Kingston remains within the census division, but is separated from the board's administration.
