Councillors say it’s good to see small town spirit at work in storm’s aftermath

Ward 2 Councillor Pat Warren said she had never personally experienced a more devastating weather event in her life as the recent ice storm that pummelled Kawartha Lakes.

“We were warned about how terrible it could be,” she said, so she and her husband prepared as best they could.

“We don’t have a generator but have a woodstove for emergencies and we have a butane stove, so we were able to cook and boil water. We filled a bathtub, so we had water to flush. For us the challenge was water, as we live out of town. Charging our devices was also difficult,” she said.
