Top stories, the weekend forecast, council decisions, the police beat, and what's on this weekend. Sent early Friday morning. Free.
The biggest St. Thomas stories, picked and ranked. Read once, you're caught up.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in plain numbers. Plan or cancel before Saturday.
Festivals, markets, music, family things. Every event worth knowing about.
What your council voted on. What St. Thomas Police logged this week. In plain English.
A sample of what goes out every Friday. By the end of one scroll, readers know what happened at City Hall, what St. Thomas Police logged this week, what the weather is going to do all weekend, and where to be Saturday afternoon.
If you want to know what actually happened in St. Thomas this week, the news, the council vote, what police logged, what's on Saturday, what the weather will do, you have to look in seven places. The London Free Press, behind a paywall. A Facebook community group, three pages deep. The City website, when you remember to check it. The Police Service page. The tourism calendar. Two more Facebook pages run by neighbours. Word of mouth at the rink. Most weeks, most of us miss half of it. The newsletter does the looking for you and writes it down in one place.
Monday and Tuesday, nothing has happened yet. Wednesday and Thursday, the week is only halfway told. Friday is when the week is over and the weekend has not started. You find out what Council voted on Tuesday and what the weather is going to do Saturday in the same email, before the kids ask what is for breakfast. Plan the weekend with real information, not a guess and a hope it doesn't rain.
Short is the whole point. The week's top stories. The weekend forecast. A summary of the Police Service log. Council in plain English. Every event worth knowing about between Friday and Sunday. Every story is sourced. If something catches your eye the link is right there. If it doesn't, you've still read the week. Open it once, scroll once, get on with your Saturday. That is the deal we make every Friday morning, and we keep it.
I built this because I was tired of finding out about things in my own town three days late. LocVox is the dashboard I wanted for myself. The newsletter is the same idea, delivered to your inbox, once a week. I promise to keep it short, keep it sourced, keep it honest, and never share your email. If a Friday email isn't worth your time, write back and tell me.
It takes about fifteen seconds to sign up. Your first email arrives early Friday morning. If it's not for you, one click unsubscribes you, no questions.
