Bay of Quinte Section
This Section operated as three subsections; Belleville, Kingston and Peterborough, from which the Peterborough and Kingston Sections were formed after its dissolution in 1985. Geographically, Belleville was the lynch-pin of the Section, but Belleville proved unable to maintain technical activities from about 1983 onwards, and it was a struggle long before that.
