Welcome to a new source for Kingston City Hall politics and decisions. Kingstonians want to be informed about the decisions made by their municipal leaders. They want to know the impact of council policies on their homes, their neighbourhoods and their wallets! That’s where Horseshoe News comes in. (The title of my blog was inspired by the U-shaped council desk that’s often referred to as the horseshoe). If you’re looking for tips to throw horseshoes or raise horses, I’m sorry this isn’t the site for you. However, if you’re searching for quality local news coverage – in an era of shrinking print media – with a strong emphasis on facts, fairness and balanced reporting (and occasional opinion pieces) then this is the place for you to bookmark and stay informed. I have over 27 years of experience covering Kingston city council. I hope you enjoy reading about the topics as much as I enjoy writing about them!
