October's Theme

October's theme is "Celebrating Our Seniors." Do you know a senior in the area who you would like to profile? A neighbour? A friend? A family member? Yourself? We also want to profile the service organizations in the area that help seniors. As well, we’re always looking for community news and profiles of interesting people and businesses in the community. Deadline is September 12. Articles should be no longer than 500 words and accompanied with photos whenever possible. Send your submissions to: editor@bmcnews.org. Articles may be edited for length and clarity. Not everything received is guaranteed to be published.
