Social Services Director Retires

The long-time Director of the Hastings-Quinte Joint Social Services department retires this year. Warden Joanne Albert announced at County Council yesterday that Eric Frye, who has been with Social Services for more than 31-years, will leave in November. Albert referred to Frye’s “compassion” in handling the many people needing services. Others commended his work with the “most vulnerable of society.” Mayor of Deseronto, Norm Clarke, said his town appreciated all that Frye had done…particularly helping to establish a Transit System to help low income people get to work.
