OPINION

Just wanted to show our support for The Lake Report and all you are doing to make this publication so wonderful!

We were truly disappointed in the decline, and finally closure, of the Niagara Advance as our only true source of Niagara-on-the-Lake news. My family owned the Advance from 1933 to 1963 thereabouts, beginning with my great grandfather Joseph Young, on down to my grandfather Douglas Young (who penned the inscription on Parliament Oak’s exterior wall) while my father Alan and uncle Glen Young also came on board. Some of my fondest memories as a young child were visiting the office. The smell of printer ink is forever etched in my psyche.

Best of luck with your publication going forward, and we are grateful to have a weekly edition now in place.
