Canada Post employees are in a legal position to strike as of November 3, 2024 at 12:01 a.m.
Canadians could be facing a full or partial shut down if the crown corporation and the main union, CUPW, can’t come to terms on a new contract.
Obviously the strike is beyond the control of the Lakefield Herald and Canada Post is the only way we can distribute our publication to your post box.
That being said the Lakefield Herald will be available for pick up at the Lakefield Herald office located at 74 Bridge Street in Lakefield. The Herald will also be available for pick-up at the Bridgenorth, Ennismore, Buckhorn, Galway and Douro libraries during their regular hours of operation.
Throughout the duration of the strike the full version of the Herald will be available on-line at: www.lakefieldherald.com.

The entire board of directors for the Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Aid Society has resigned effective last week.
A letter sent out from the board of October 23 stated, “We were notified on October 22nd that the Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services intended to install a Supervisor on October 23rd, as provided for in legislation (Child, Youth and Family Services Act). Board Members can no longer meet their fiduciary duty when this happens.”

Cutler was appointed to oversee the society and to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of children the society serves for up to one year.
The public commenting period for the Ward Street rehabilitation in Bridgenorth has now closed.
The County of Peterborough and Selwyn Township are currently undergoing an Environmental Assessment (EA) to study options for the reconstruction of Ward Street in Bridgenorth. This assessment was initiated after the Bridgenorth bypass proposal was officially taken off the County of Peterborough’s Transportation Plan.
Last month, Selwyn Township, Peterborough County, and Engage Engineering hosted the second Public Information Centre (PIC) for residents to learn more about the project and give input on the design options for the project.
This short documentary is a portrait of a tiny town, Lakefield, Ontario, and its independent weekly, the Herald. Across North America, newspapers are dying, but in Lakefield, Terry McQuitty, the town paper’s publisher, carries on a rich, 150-year-old tradition. Set to the pace of small-town life, Unheralded is a testament to the vital role newspapers can still play, and the close bond between reporter and reader.
