flag Hastings County sets new councillor pay and funds local childcare.

flag Hastings County council has approved a new compensation model for its councillors, effective 2025, setting a base salary of $12,145 and a per diem rate of $486.94 with a 3% cost-of-living adjustment. flag The hybrid pay structure replaces a previous per diem-only system, aiming to ensure fairer, more predictable compensation amid concerns about pay equity with other municipal councils. flag The change was approved without debate. flag Separately, the county allocated $1.3 million in provincial funding to support local childcare programs, including grants to Family Space Quinte, North Hastings Children’s Services, the Trenton Family Military Resource Centre, and Indigenous-led initiatives.
