North Frontenac, Ontario, Canada

This was the place where we would spend our retirement years together, at least that is what we thought.

June 16 1944 - October 25 2009

In Sept 2016  I Ken Cressey  Jeanines Husband have been diagnosed with lung cancer. The biopsy showed crystalline silica. I am soon to follow her .
Ontario cares little for its people, just its stakeholders.

From the time that Jeanine started having respiratory problems from breathing the dust, the Township was made aware of what was happening. On multiple occasions they were told of what was taking place yet nothing was done.

On March 12 2009 This letter was sent to council.

Mayor & Council

I would like to bring to your attention our concerns about the Extraction Agreement re aggregate pit at Snow Road.

We believe that if the road allowance is opened between the Crain Pit and the Gemmill Pit it would exacerbate the problem with noise and dust.

Our home is directly across the pit on the 509, which we already have issues with, which have not been resolved yet.

We believe that if the road allowance is removed, that the dust and noise from Gemmill’s Pit would funnel down through the area directly to our home,

increasing the amount of dust and noise.

We would like an environmental assessment done prior to the extraction agreement, since this would have a direct impact on our home and our quality of life.

Sincerely,

Ken & Jeanine Cressey

We never received any written documentation but did receive a call from the Mayor at the time Ron Maguire stating there was nothing they could do.


Members of the council:  Councillor Fred Perry ; Councillor Elaine Gunsinger
and Councillor Lonnie Watkins : Deputy Mayor Jim Beam  Councillor Bob
Olmstead : and Councillor Wayne Good

On August 06/09 we placed a call directly to the township telling them of the placement of a rock crusher directly across the road from the house, The noise and dust were atrocious yet we were told that the company could do what they wanted and there was nothing we could do. That was told to us by Tammy McQuigge. We asked for a by law officer to come and view what was going on but were denied as well as refusing to take the complaint.

To further this on the day that Jeanine died I called 911 for help, the fire department sent one single fireman to help. This is a letter sent to Steve Riddell asking what the protocol for a 911 call was.

I would like to know as a volunteer fireman what there responsibilities are in a 911 emergency. Is there a signed contract between them and the township. I would also like to know the number of volunteers, as well as the number of volunteers at Snow Road.

Hello Ken,

In an emergency our goal is to mitigate the emergency by making the scene safe, and conduct an investigation and report our findings if necessary to the office of the Fire Marshall.
All Fire Fighters are considered employees of the Municipality, currently we have 55 Fire Fighters in total on the roster, 18 at the Snow Road fire hall. Ken if you should have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks Steve,

Steve Riddell North Frontenac Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Services chiefnffd@hotmail.com (613)279-2468 (613)279-3056 (fax)

On October 02/14  I asked for the ambulance report from the Paramedic services of north Frontenac. In the report it says that the fireman didn't put the defibrillator paddles on correctly and that the paramedics performed a full CPR protocol.

I had never know this but explains why the fireman was with the coroner. This has been kept from me since she died. Had I not asked for this report I still would have never know. The fireman or Dept have never said a word or the Coroner about this. I was sent one untrained fireman on a heart attack call.

The Township or their agents have never called me or spoken to me since my wife died. I will never understand why the township turned their backs on citizens in the community when it is their responsibility for the protection and security of the communities.

I wonder why they never brought up what was done to my wife and myself when  our property lost close to $40,000.00 dollars when it sold.

No compensation of any kind by anyone or Ministry.

The Township of North Frontenac has many services to aid in the many possible emergency situations that may occur. It is important for all residents, permanent and seasonal, to educate themselves of the available resources and the necessary preventative actions needed in order to be protected in the event of an emergency.

Help Us, Help You!

To provide a high quality of emergency response services to North Frontenac, it is essential for YOU, the resident, to do your part. This includes ensuring that property access roads are at least 6 metres wide to allow fire and service trucks through. Also, having sufficiently maintained access roads to your property is essential for the emergency services to provide the proper care you may need. Everyone likes trees, snow, and ornaments in their yards, but don't let them obstruct YOUR lifeline.

The Township of North Frontenac refused to do their requirement in acting on the Municipal Act.
The site is located in an area designated as a hamlet in 2009
A 911 call an emergency call is basically ignored by the Township in which case they gave no real aid. The almighty dollar comes first.

Yep we live in a free society  free to plunder, maim and kill.
