“As a company, we think about how we make a difference in the communities that we serve. We feel it’s our duty to inform, entertain and educate, and the question we’ve been asking ourselves in recent years is, what’s the next step in that process, and how do we better serve the communities? Out of that came the idea of launching these community portals. The idea is these portals are meant to be a reflection of the best part of each of the communities where we do business,” Incoming Acadia Broadcasting President Shelley Snodgrass told our newsroom.
The portal includes everything Charlotte County, including photos, events, lifestyles, news, obituaries and much more.
“As members of a community, we care about the people that live there, and I’ll tell you, as a summertime resident of Charlotte County, I’m excited about understanding what’s happening in the community, not just in the summer, but all the time. It’s so beautiful to visit communities including St. Andrews, St George, Penfield, Grand Manan, and Deer Island. What I hope is that we create an environment where people, even outside the community, are curious and start to get engaged and make it part of their weekend plans, because there’s so much to enjoy in the region,” Snodgrass added.
She encourages everyone to submit their feedback and submissions for the portal, as it continues to evolve.
“You can expect to get some really great content from some of your municipal leaders, community leaders, business leaders, and just people who love living in Charlotte County. We hope it doesn’t end. We hope that you get engaged every single day.”
School children took time on this Remembrance Day to remember those who fought for their freedoms.
Many classes used the weeks leading up to November 11th to learn about the two World Wars and Canada’s involvement.
At Robert Moore School, students took part in a Remembrance Day service that included classes reading poems, singing and explaining what peace means to them.
Members of the Royal Canadian Legion provided a Colour Guard, while the Last Post and Reveille were played over the gymnasium’s speakers.
The poem, In Flanders Fields, was cited in French and in English.
Grade 2 students concluded the ceremony by describing what the letters in Remember mean to them.
Student artwork was displayed on the gymnasium walls.

The newest hotel in Fort Frances will open its doors to the public on November 15th.
The Studio 6 Extended Stay Hotel Fort Frances, located in the west end of Fort Frances, is owned by Mitaanjigamiing First Nation and managed by Rideout Bay Management, a real estate development firm based out of Winnipeg.
Construction started late last year.
“We’re thrilled to bring this project to life,” states General Manager Chris Martin in a release.
“Our team has worked tirelessly to prepare for this opening, and we can’t wait to welcome our first guests and showcase what makes Studio 6 Extended Stay Hotel Fort Frances special.”
The 70-room hotel features several amenities, including a mini-hockey room.
“This opening represents more than a new hotel. It’s a proud moment of collaboration between Indigenous ownership and local business leadership,” states Ed Morrison of Mitaanjigamiing First Nation.
“We’re creating jobs, strengthening tourism, and providing a new level of hospitality for visitors to our region.”
The hotel will host a Community Open House on Saturday, November 15, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to celebrate the opening, which will take place later that week.
A new A&W Restaurant is also slated for the same site.
Rideout Bay is also collaborating with First Nations in the Sioux Lookout and Dryden areas on similar projects that are scheduled to open in the near future.
The Lakehead University Agora is featuring an exhibit to commemorate northwestern Ontario’s Indigenous veterans.
The Indigenous Veterans of Treaty #3 exhibit is open to the public for the rest of the week.
The exhibit’s launch coincides with Indigenous Veterans’ Day, which is observed separately from Remembrance Day.
“There’s a purpose behind that,” retired Lieutenant Colonel Darla Oja explains, “Making it on the tenth of November brings deeper understanding to, ‘hey, we missed this part of our history.’ Now we’re trying to correct it.”
Oja spent 31 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, including a tour of duty in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006.
In the ceremony at Lakehead to introduce the exhibit, Oja spoke to the long history of Indigenous military service in Canadian history.
In the time of the World Wars, thousands of Indigenous soldiers enlisted despite not being considered Canadian citizens and lacking many rights, including voting rights.
Indigenous soldiers who enlisted were often forced to give up their Indian Status, but were not granted Canadian citizenship in return, leaving them in legal limbo when they returned home from the war.
For decades, Indigenous veterans struggled to receive their veterans’ benefits.
In the ceremony, Oja outlined why Indigenous peoples volunteered to fight for a country that didn’t recognize them:
“For many Indigenous veterans, service meant not only fighting for freedom abroad, but also for recognition and equality at home.”

Gillian Balfour is Provost and Vice President, Academic for Lakehead University. She sees the display as an opportunity for the public to educate themselves on an oft-forgotten chapter of Canadian history.
“It’s so visual, and it’s so personal to see the names of the veterans and where they served, and where they died for this country,” she says.

“Let us remember that their service was not only about defending borders,” Oja said as she concluded her speech.
“They fought and continue to fight for a kind of freedom that reaches beyond the battlefield: a freedom that lives in classrooms, in communities, and in the choices we make to stand beside each other every day.”
The feds will reveal a major new project coming to New Brunswick later this week, according to the Premier.
In Fredericton Monday, the Prime Minister announced a list of major nation-building projects would be revealed Thursday, and Premier Susan Holt says one of those projects is coming to New Brunswick.
However, she would not give any more details ahead of time.
Holt and Carney sat down for a focused and productive meeting earlier Monday, she told reporters.
She says they covered a lot of topics, including defense, mining, energy, and more.
“We talked quite a bit about energy and how important energy is to growing our economy here in New Brunswick and beyond, and the various opportunities that present themselves in the energy space,” said Holt.
She added that the conversation touched on nuclear energy, exploring for critical minerals and developing renewable energy, including the large wind projects the province has put forward.
Earlier, in the day, the Prime Minister visited the Maple Leaf Homes building company, where he reiterated the federal “Buy Canadian” policy.
It includes $186 million dollars to purchase building materials in our own country.
Carney says it will put more of tax dollars back into our economy.
“[It] will put more of every public dollar back into our economy, creating good Canadian jobs, Canadian careers, using Canadian resources and benefiting Canadian communities. It’ll make a big difference for workers here in New Brunswick,” the Prime Minister said.
The Buy Canadian policy was previously announced in September.
The star of Trailor Park Boys was arraigned in a Nova Scotia court, Monday, facing sexual assault charges.
The Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service (PPS) tells us it was a brief appearance with a lawyer appearing on behalf of Smith and a lawyer appointed to the defense, with the matter “in its early stages”.
According to court documents, the charges against Smith who plays Bubbles, date back to December 30, 2017, at or near Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Judge Driscoll, on behalf of a request from the Crown, granted a publication ban on any information that could identify the victim.
A statement from Trailer Park Boys, Inc., which produces the comedy show, was posted to Facebook. The statement said the company was aware of the allegation and that Smith had stepped away from his role as managing director of the company.
The next court date for Smith is scheduled for December 3, in Dartmouth for election and/or plea.
