Lennox and Addington County Council wishes to announce that Henry Hogg, Reeve of the Township of Addington Highlands, was once again acclaimed as County Warden for the year 2011, at Council’s Inaugural Meeting on December 15, 2010.  Warden Hogg also served as the Head of County Council for the years 2003 and 2010.

Warden Hogg was first elected as a Councillor in the Township of Denbigh, Abinger and Ashby in 1985.  In 1989 he was elected Reeve of the Township, a position he held until 1994.  Warden Hogg was elected Reeve of the newly restructured Township of Addington Highlands in 1998, 2000, 2006 and again in 2010.

As a member of Lennox and Addington County Council, Warden Hogg has served on numerous committees including the Community Services Committee, Social and Lenadco Home Committee, the Emergency Services Advisory Committee, the Museum Advisory Committee and the Administration and Finance Committee.  Warden Hogg has represented the County on the Kingston, Frontenac Lennox and Addington Health Unit and the Municipal Advisory Committee for the Algonquin Land Claim, as well as Council's Economic Development Coalition.

Warden Hogg and his wife Louise reside at Lake Mazinaw where they are semi-retired from owning/operating the Pine Crest Marine and the North Addington Bus Lines.

In his inaugural address, Warden Hogg indicated that County Council “must be vigilant to ensure that the Federal and Provincial governments do not address their deficits by reducing transfers to municipalities.”  Warden Hogg also emphasized the importance of the work of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, in particular the development of the Eastern Ontario Regional Broadband Network.

Warden Hogg stated that he appreciated County Council’s support and believes that “together we can provide strong and effective leadership for the County.”
