The community of Caledonia, where Smith grew up and played for the Corvairs (seen above wearing number 5 in his 1995-96 team photo), has rallied around Smith as he faces a long road to recovery.

To mark this year's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, The Haldimand Press shares the story of Josie Penny — a Labrador Métis woman whose childhood experiences were marked by isolation, separation and trauma.

Penny originally began writing her story so her four children would understand the Labrador childhood they could never know themselves.

Decades later, those memories have reached much further. Her books are now being used in schools, helping a new generation learn about a way of life and a history Penny once feared her own family would never understand.

“I just told my story as I saw it, as I remembered it,” Penny told The Haldimand Press.

Haldimand has agreed to a settlement with the proponent behind a proposed townhouse development on Main St. N in Hagersville.

The proposal was first brought to Council last year, where it was met with heavy criticism from the public related to traffic impact among other issues.

At the time, Haldimand Council voted to defer the application, asking the proponent to come back with a revised plan. That developer instead brought their proposal to the Ontario Land Tribunal, leading to a settlement with Haldimand and a green light to pursue development of the site.
