On the 18th of May 2022, the small municipality of Brudenell Lyndoch and Raglan’s part-time municipal manager, Mr. Andrew Sprunt, made legal history when attempted to re-write the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He did so in a letter to me where the Township of BLR, chaffing under recent public scrutiny said that it would no longer respond to any questions about Council actions surrounding the Fire Chief investigation.

Palmer Rapids, ON - In an official statement the Township of BLR attempted to assert that it does not know why a review of the Fire Department by the Ontario Fire Marshal (OFM) never took place, despite evidence from the Ontario Fire Marshal itself that all parties (OFM, Council and the Fire Chief) apparently knew in March 2021, that it was decided that a public review would never occur.

Palmer Rapids, ON - A written statement made by the driver of the first BLR Fire Department vehicle to arrive to a controversial 911 call at the son a BLR Councilor in 2019 is nowhere to be found, according to the Township of BLR.

Current BLR Councilor, and former BLR Fire Chief, John Rutledge was identified in the official incident report as the lone occupant of the first firetruck to arrive at the property of Gary Budarick, son of then-Councilor Andrea Budarick. The 911 call that dispatched Rutledge and other BLRFD personnel has since been shown to have been ochestrated by members of the fire department themselves.
