City council voted six to three in favour of filling two empty seats on Belleville Library Board and Transit Operations Advisory Committee left vacant by newly appointed Coun. Carol Feeney.
Council gave the majority nod Tuesday to applicants Michael Harris to serve on transit and Jennifer May-Anderson to serve on library, both of whom are well-known professionals in the city and contributors to the community.

However, some city councilors who voted against were feeling a definite sense of deja vu around council’s virtual horseshoe Tuesday when the pair of candidates were reprised as suitable candidates after a first push to name them last month to the committees was turned down by council.
Hospice Quinte has received some more support from the provincial government.
The team has announced that they have received $25,000 from the government’s Ontario Senior Community Grant Program.
The money is supporting a pilot project that is providing counselling services for caregivers.
“We are incredibly grateful to receive this much needed support from the Province of Ontario. The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly impacted our organization, our volunteers and our clients. We have seen a rise in caregiver burnout and the need for supportive counselling during this difficult time. Now, with thanks to this funding, we are able to expand our existing program and better serve the community by adding supportive counselling for caregivers to our suite of services,” said Jennifer May-Anderson, Executive Director of Hospice Quinte.
