CURRENT ISSUES

In Issue 618, we learn what Bluewater council voted in favor of with regards to the Bayfield Main Street Revitalization Project…

In Issue 617, non-profits and charities rely on community fundraisers to maintain services and programs and the pandemic isn’t making it easy. May and June seem to be the months when a few of these groups are encouraging people to participate by getting active. Read up on how you can support service dogs, hospice. Alzheimers programming and Big Brothers and Big Sisters in the coming days simply by pledging and heading out for a walk. And in our photos story, we have a chat with Director Brad Turner and Executive Producer Jessica Petelle as we’re just 13 days away from the Canadian release of their movie "Trigger Point”…coming to a living room near you via VOD, May 18th!

In Issue 616, we ask the question - why isn’t Earth Day, every day? Thankfully, there are so many folks trying to do better for the only Earth we’ve got during these trying times…Blue Bayfield has published a new book on ways to keep the Great Lakes healthy and the Bayfield PACC organized a COVID-safe community clean-up that was as easy as walking the family dog...

In Issue 615, it is evident in several articles that Bayfield and surrounding area is home to many, many wonderful volunteers who continue to do their best during these challenging times. This week is National Volunteer Week. This year the theme is "The Value of One - The Power of Many”. The theme encourages us to reflect on the many acts of kindness made by millions of individuals and the magic that happens when these people unite towards a common goal, so, to all our marvellous community volunteers may we offer a great big, “Thank you!"
