NF Township honors former reeve, Tom Neal Sr.

Jeff Green | Jan 20, 2016

Tom Neal Sr. served on Council for the Township of Barrie for thirty plus years between 1953 and 1997. He served as reeve for at least 28 years and as the warden for the County of Frontenac in 1972. Reeve Neal was the last municipal officer to wear the Chain of Office for the Barrie Township before the municipality amalgamated in January 1998 to form the Township of North Frontenac.

A framed picture and certificate honouring former Reeve Neal was dedicated and hung in the Harlowe Community Hall. Mayor Higgins advised it was a pleasure to be able to celebrate former Reeve Neal’s dedication and hard work within the township and the county, and is honoured to be able to recognize the contributions Reeve Neal made in making our community what it is today. He also informed the family that we appreciate what Tom accomplished for our community.
