Chief Administrative Officer/Clerk

The Township of Frontenac Islands, located in Eastern Ontario, is one of four Townships in Frontenac
County. The Township has over 2,000 residents and encompasses a number of islands at the beginning
of the St. Lawrence River. During the summer months our population grows substantively. Wolfe, Howe
and Simcoe are the larger of the islands and are serviced by a short, year-round ferry ride from Kingston.
The smaller of the islands are accessible by boat and include Arabella, Bayfield, Black Ant, Garden Goose,
Hickory and Horseshoe.

Wolfe Island has the largest settlement in the village of Marysville, with around 400 inhabitants. The
rest of the population is dispersed, mostly across the larger island near the scenic island shoreline, or on
one of the many interior roads on a multitude or rural and farm properties.

To live in the Township, is a truly captivating experience. We are a rural community that values genuine
human connection. Farmers, makers, artists, small business entrepreneurs, professionals, retirees, and
all-around nature lovers call Frontenac Islands home. We come from all walks of life and no matter our
differences or lived experiences, our strength lies in the shared connections we establish with each
other, knowing that we don’t need to go far to find good folks ready to lend a helping hand.
