Dear editor: 

On my recent trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake, I picked up a copy of The Lake Report from a local sub shop, and diverging from my usual online news outlets, I ended up reading it front to back.

I’m writing to let you know that I don’t think I’ve enjoyed reading a newspaper in the last five years, as much as I have yours.

I’ve spent my entire life in cities and reading your articles gave me a perfect glimpse of what life in NOTL looks like.

You spoke to your people and it was impressive to see that you included them in the narrative. Being somewhat averse to the news in general, your paper made for a great Saturday read in the midst of your beautiful, peaceful town. 

Thank you for making my day. Keep up the great work you and your staff are doing, and good luck for your work ahead.
