Two youth from our community recently travelled to St. Raphael, Quebec to compete as part of the Springbrook Royals OASA softball team at the Under 14 Eastern Canadian Softball Championships.
Jackson Croskery and James Johnson, both residents of Marmora and Lake, joined players from surrounding communities on the competitive softball circuit. They are also players on their local Marmora Miners’ softball team here in the village.
The team competed in a four-day tournament and made Marmora proud by bringing home gold. Silver was captured by another Ontario team while bronze was taken home by a team from Newfoundland.
The pair visited Marmora and Lake council on September 3, 2019 to receive a token of appreciation - a new Marmora and Lake hat - from Mayor Jan O’Neill and council. The Mayor congratulated the Springbrook Royals and Jackson and James for their accomplishments as part of the team.
Marmora and Lake currently has a thriving softball league with teams ranging from T-Ball up through Jr. Mite, Mite, Squirt, Peewee and Bantam. Council is very proud of the players and their achievements.
Mayor Jan O’Neill presents players James Johnson and Jackson Croskery with Marmora and Lake hats in recognition of their achievements on the Springbrook Royals OASA softball team.

Central Hastings Transit serves the municipalities of Centre Hastings, Marmora and Lake, Tweed, Stirling-Rawdon and Madoc Township. Provincial funding will allow the service to expand with the purchase of an additional accessible bus.
Mamrora and Lake - Central Hastings Transit is receiving a financial boost thanks to the Public Transit stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
The funding program is providing a total of $233,000 to the Towns of Bancroft and Deseronto as well as the Municipality of Marmora and Lake. Marmora and Lake’s share of the pot is $34,336.47, with all of the funds going directly to Central Hastings Transit to purchase an accessible public transit bus equipped with two wheelchair seats.
Currently Central Hastings Transit serves five municipalities with its public transit bus, which provides transportation services to Belleville and in between rural communities. The funding will allow for an additional bus to be purchased, and will help to remove barriers for riders with accessibility challenges.
“These investments will help people who rely on public transit travel to work and home safely,” said Daryl Kramp, MPP for Hastings-Lennox and Addington. “They will continue to help a broad range of workers, students and seniors.”
Final funding decisions under the ICIP program are made by the federal government. If approved, the nominated projects will be eligible for total funding of more than $699,114.68 from the federal, provincial and municipal governments.
“We’re pleased that these projects have been nominated for ICIP funding,” said MPP Kramp. “Now it’s up to the federal government to approve them.”
The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program is a 10-year initiative that provides up to $30 billion in federal, provincial and local investments in communities across the province. Funding is distributed between four streams: Rural and Northern, Public Transit, Green, and Community, Culture and Recreation.

The Mayor has recently received complaints about inadequate parking at the Mag’s Landing boat launch along Cordova Road just outside the village.
Residents expressed concerns regarding the safety of the boat launch with it being a high traffic area for motorists with trailers attempting to park in the lot and along Cordova Road. It was suggested to the Mayor that the boat launch should be expanded to accommodate the overflow of vehicles.
In response to these concerns, the Mayor contacted the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority and Quinte Conservation for comment and also met with Manager of Environmental Services, Victor Reid. Both Reid and the Conservation Authority reiterated to the Mayor that the former decision to not expand the parking lot beyond its current size should be upheld. To clarify, the previous post implied this council had made decisions regarding the boat launch. In fact, on the August long weekend, the Mayor received complaints and observed the inadequate parking at the boat launch.
As part of his job duties, Victor Reid is responsible for drinking water quality for the municipality. With that in mind, he made the following statement regarding the boat launch:
“Although an expansion or alteration (to the boat launch) is not prohibited under the Clean Water Act, I do believe as the owner/operators of a drinking system directly downstream from the boat launch we should not expand this area.”
Reid also stated expanding the boat launch could increase the risk of contaminates entering the waterway and an increase of instances of fuel transfer on or near the water.
Reid said it is the responsibility of the municipality to “ensure that the drinking water remains of the utmost quality and free of instances where the health and wellbeing of residents is compromised.”
There are several documents available with reference to the Clean Water Act that outline risks to drinking water and source protection areas.
In an effort to mediate the issue and ensure safety along Cordova Road, council approved the installation of “No Parking” signs on the west side of the road in the vicinity of the boat launch. The signs will be installed when utility locates can be confirmed.
For more information, please see the following resources:
Residents can have their say about the 2020 municipal budget at an upcoming open house and roundtable discussion.
The event is being being held August 27 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in council chambers located at the Marmora and Lake Town Hall located at 12 Bursthall Street.
Attendees will have an opportunity to provide input for consideration in next year’s budget by highlighting their top priorities and will learn about the municipal budget process, how the tax rate is set, and how the municipality allocates resources in order to provide services.
If you wish to attend, your RSVP would be appreciated by emailing mabraham@marmoraandlake.ca or phoning the economic development office at 613-472-1515.
