Jack Lake activist Ambrose Moran has been working on this important issue (township boundaries) since the early 90’s resulting in 2 Municipal restructuring studies…. after extensive community consultation… recommended:
- to improve cost effective delivery of municipal services
- to ,recognize that Apsley is the community of interest for Jack lake rather than Havelock
- and that “local government is intended to be “local”
that the municipal boundary should be adjusted to result in all of Jack Lake to be in North Kawartha.
Neither North Kawartha nor Havelock Belmont Methuen Townships even responded to the Jack lake Boundary Committee letter requesting a process be initiated to implement the propose boundary adjustment.
