It seems Ottawa has been listening. A major focus of last week’s federal budget was housing, with billions of dollars directed to improving the chances of home ownership for millennials and Gen Z, who now make
up a majority of the workforce. Millennials were born in the 1980s and 1990s, the 30- and 40-somethings who came of age at the turn of the 21st century. (By Pauline Kerr)

Lighthouse Swing Band still movin’ and groovin’ after 40 years

They say everything old is new again, which describes the Lighthouse Swing Band perfectly. The band, which was formed in 1984, was designed in the standard swing band style, consisting of four trumpets, four trombones, five saxes and four rhythm. It’s a configuration that began in the 1920s and a style that was followed by the likes of Glenn Miller and other big bands. (By Liz Small)

The Bruce County Archives is quickly running out of space. The need for space to expand led to a previous misstep by the county in the acquisition of the former Anglican manse building. Now, a few years later, and
