For a small community newspaper like ours, Canada Post is more than just a mailing service; it’s our lifeline to you, our readers. As we face the possibility of a postal strike or some form of work action, I feel the weight of uncertainty pressing down, knowing that it could threaten the very survival of this paper. In an age where many people get their news online, you might ask why a postal delay matters so much. Well, in a community like ours, where traditions run deep, and the ties between people are close, the answer lies in what the newspaper represents: connection, heritage, and trust.
Every week, we rely on Canada Post to get our paper to your mailboxes—our stories, photos, and local news are delivered directly to your home. We’ve been in your hands as you sip your morning coffee, at your kitchen tables, and in the company of friends and neighbours for years. While the digital world is an option, many of our readers aren’t looking to replace the tangible comfort of their weekly community paper with an electronic substitute. There’s something special about flipping through pages that were crafted with care, sharing our community’s stories, and highlighting events, businesses, and people who might not make headlines anywhere else.
