Lanark County

• The most noted characteristics of Lanark County clearly show the pull of the past and the beckoning of the future:  According to Statistics Canada, it is the fastest growing county in Canada (due to its close proximity to the Nation's Capital). It's also the Capital of the pioneer staple of Canada — Maple Syrup!
  
  
• There are three major municipalities in this part of the riding — Carleton Place, Perth and Smith Falls.  The remaining residents are scattered over nearly 3,000 square km.  
  
  
• It is bordered by the city boundary of the National Capital, the Rideau River and Big Rideau Lake, Renfrew and Frontenac Counties.  
  
  
• Geographically, it is located within the Canadian Shield with rolling hills in the Highlands, fertile farm land, vast open vistas, large lakes, rivers and brooks, marshes, bogs and protected wetlands. 
  
  
• Recreational activities include golf, sailing, canoeing, water skiing, fishing, hunting, bird watching, bicycle tours, cross country hiking, skiing and snowmobiling.  
  
  
• There are dozens of small villages and hamlets with descriptive names such as Flower Station; Poland, Elphin, Middleville, Marble Bluff and Pine Grove. Other names recall the heritage of early settlers —- Lanark, Clydesville,  McDonald's Corners. 

Frontenac County

• A short drive north of Kingston takes you into the county’s spots of spectacular and quiet beauty. The county includes the rolling farmland of South Frontenac, the lake-dotted Canadian Shield of Central Frontenac and the stretches of forested crown lands and waterways of North Frontenac.
  
  
• Frontenac County is one of the original counties of Upper Canada.  Settled by the Algonquins, further settlement occurred as settlers moved north from Lake Ontario.  Lumber mills and cheese-making abounded. Tradition and community pride continue to flourish.
  
  
• The entrepreneurial spirit of the people that settled this county is alive in its small businesses and the service and tourist industries.  The economic base of the county depends on agriculture, forrestry, natural resource products, tourism and water-based industries, and professional- and service-based businesses.
  
  
• The municipalities within the county include the towns of Sydenham, Verona, Sharbot Lake and Cloyne and the villages of Battersea, Harrowsmith, Parham, Snow Road Village, Arden and Plevna.
  
  
• Three provincial parks are located within the county: Frontenac, Sharbot Lake and Bon Echo.  There is an incredible range of outdoor activities possible in these parks and throughout the county.
  
  
• A strong arts community includes music, theatre and visual art.  The Blue Skies Folk Festival attracts thousands.  Musical groups ranging from bluegrass and gospel to rock make music here.  The Sharbot Lake Little Theatre thrives.  The Inroads Studio Tour (Labour Day weekend) showcases artists from the centre and north of the county.

Lennox & Addington County

• Lennox and Addington County is located in southeastern Ontario, between Toronto and Montreal.
  
  
• Lennox & Addington covers 2,777 square kilometres, stretching from Lake Ontario northward over 130 kilometres to Renfrew County.
  
  
• The northern half of the County forms part of the Canadian Shield and as such is rugged, rocky, covered with a maze of lakes and forests, mostly unsuited for agriculture and quite attractive as a recreational area.
  
  
• The southern half of the County is essentially rural, with the exception of urban Napanee and Amherstview. The rural area has a number of villages and hamlets including Denbigh, Kaladar, Flinton, Stone Mills, Tamworth, Camden East, Bath, and Odessa.
  
  
• Lennox & Addington County has a proud heritage and unique history that is important to the early development of our country. The United Empire Loyalists arrived in 1784 on the shores of Adolphustown. Sir John A. MacDonald spent much time at his relative’s home in Napanee — the historic Allan MacPherson House.
