There was a huge leap forward on the communal services initiative today. Representatives from Frontenac, The Eastern Ontario Regional Network, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) gathered in Frontenac to celebrate new partnerships and a $1-million CMHC funding grant. The money will go to further explore and support communal servicing initiatives in rural municipalities across Ontario, like ours.

Read all about it: https://engagefrontenac.ca/communal-services/news_feed/eastern-ontario-organizations-receive-1-million-in-funding-from-canada-mortgage-and-housing-corporation

You may recall that the communal services initiative is about making way for a broader array of mixed-use and affordable housing developments. These projects were previously not feasible in rural areas like our towns and villages because there was no safe and sustainable way for larger-scale water and wastewater servicing. Communal servicing solves that, leading to more affordable new-build housing options, stronger local economies, increased environmental protections, and more.

Congratulations to everyone involved on this new chapter. This is just the beginning.

Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs

Marc Goudie, Frontenac Paramedics Deputy Chief of Performance Standards, has been appointed Paramedic Chief/Director, Emergency and Transportation Services for the County of Frontenac effective September 30, 2024.

“DC Goudie is eminently qualified, experienced, and equipped to lead Frontenac Paramedics into this next chapter as Chief,” says Frontenac County CAO Kevin Farrell. “He is already a great asset to Frontenac Paramedics and Frontenac County. I look forward to working with him into the future and extend my congratulations to him on this next step in his career.”

DC Goudie holds a Master of Health Management from the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University; a Master of Arts, Disaster and Emergency Management from Royal Roads University; a Bachelor of Education, Adult Education, from Brock University; and a Bachelor of Social Sciences, Sociology, from the University of Ottawa.

He began his career as a Primary Care Paramedic, and achieved Advanced Care Paramedic credentials. He has worked previously as a Facilitator with the Regional Paramedic Program for Eastern Ontario, and a Professor of the Primary Care Paramedic Program at St. Lawrence College.

DC Goudie served part-time as a Superintendent/Supervisor with Frontenac Paramedics and Leeds and Grenville Paramedic Services before assuming his current role with Frontenac Paramedics in 2018. He is also an Inspector on the Ambulance Service Review Team with the Ontario Ministry of Health.

DC Goudie succeeds current Chief Gale Chevalier, who will retire after more than 30 years in paramedicine in Kingston.

“Lifelong learning is increasingly integral to our evolving profession and DC Goudie has strong aptitude and skill as a student, facilitator, instructor, and teacher,” says Chief Chevalier. “Those qualities make him extremely valuable to the Frontenac Paramedics leadership team as is evidenced by his leadership of the Community Paramedicine Program so far. DC Goudie is well equipped to be Chief, and I know I’ll be leaving Frontenac Paramedics in capable hands.”
