Tompkins Spirit in Action: Online Auction for Dylan & Stacey Soars Past Target
The strength of community spirit showed immediately after the online auction opened. Just hours in, the Rinkfundraiser2025 auction for Dylan and Stacey McGregor’s medical journey had already raised $17,180 —nearly doubling its $10,000 goal before the first day was done. The Tompkins Skating Rink’s Facebook post on November 9 was the first call to action, inviting people to donate, bid, and support Dylan & Stacey. That early announcement gave neighbors time to prepare items,

Gull Lake 2035 Continues—Small Town, Big Possibilities: Breaking the Myth of Doubt
Myth: “That will never work here.” The assumption is that when new ideas or opportunities arise, they simply won’t work here—especially businesses, because of our proximity to the city, or in other cases because the idea of change can be hard to accept. Reality: Proof in Our Own Backyard Gull Lake has lived both sides of this myth. • Campbell’s Accommodations When my wife and I converted long‑term rental units into short‑term accommodations, some said visitors would prefer

☕ Coffee Row Chronicle—What We Build Together: From Memorial Walls to Pumpkin Parties
The cinnamon buns were still warm, and the coffee had just started to cool. Edna sat at her usual spot, one eyebrow raised, the latest Gull Lake 2035 editorial open on her phone. Earl was already halfway through his second bun, and Mabel had brought her own mug from home—enamel, chipped, and loyal. “I read Part Two,” Edna said, not looking up. “The one about what we’ve actually built.” Earl puffed out his chest. “You mean the sewer lines and the lagoon? Smells like progres

🎉 Raise the Roof: One Bail at a Time—$10,000 Closer to Carmichael Hall’s Comeback!
Gull Lake’s finest were rounded up, locked down, and bailed out — all in the name of community pride and to help repair the Carmichael Community Hall. Yesterday, the Elks Hall transformed into a Wild West courtroom as costumed sheriffs, deputies, and judges staged mock arrests for a cause close to home. Photo Credit: Carmichael Community Club Inc. From morning until mid‑afternoon, the town came alive with laughter, chili, and a whole lot of “lookin’ the other way.” Spectator

How Two Hitchhikers and a Gull Lake Constable Averted Highway Tragedy
On a cool Friday evening in September 1968—a Friday the 13th, no less—a routine patrol on Highway 1 turned into one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Gull Lake RCMP detachment. Two 18‑year‑olds from Waterloo, Ontario, Dennis Bonn and Brian McLennan, were hitchhiking west toward British Columbia. Near Whitewood, a new Mercury Cougar pulled over. The driver introduced himself only as “Knobby,” said he was heading for Calgary, and offered them a ride. He was fri

What Holds a Small Town Together Isn’t Viral Noise—It's Us
A viral video and a wave of outside commentary can travel far faster than the truth, and this week the Lyceum Theatre found itself at the centre of a story that doesn’t reflect who we are or how we treat one another. In that video, the theatre, its volunteers, and several local residents are spoken about in ways that are unfair, inaccurate, and unworthy of the place we call home. Gull Lake isn’t perfect—no community is—but we are not a town where people are reduced to insults
