Joseph is currently in Ottawa Children’s Hospital of Ontario being treated for an inoperable brain cancer. Board members, s...

Letter to Community Beware of Leon’s Furniture It is said that when it comes to customer service, if an individual has a positive experience with the seller, that person will tell 3 or 4 other people of the positive experience.

My latest experience with Leon’s Furniture Store in Cornwall is the reason why I am telling you of my negative experience that I had as a customer of their store.

By Mark Kawesoton Light Reprinted with permission from Indian Country Today I haven’t written anything in a long time. This time of year is always hard on our family. I want to take some time to remember my son, Sky Light. September 8 was six years since the Creator decided it was his time to go. It seems like it was just yesterday I heard his motorcycle flying down the road at four in the morning and then a loud pop. I ran outside to find Sky and Devon both lifeless. Devon was a young man who was crossing the street at the wrong time and w...
