From The Kawartha Promoter
In these uncertain times some hard decisions must be made.
To protect the health and safety of our staff, clients and the public we are temporarily suspending The Kawartha Promoter in print.
On our website we will continue to post official press releases of current events as they unfold. We will also share volunteerism and local business and government announcements.
Please support local businesses however possible. And give thanks to all the volunteers, medical professionals, and necessary services.
Stay safe!
