Roasted Cauliflower with Pickled Red Pepper Vinaigrette by TheDevineKitchen

Colborne Street Reconstruction Update
The construction in Downtown Fenelon Falls is well underway, and we know, it isn't the prettiest or most convenient scenario at the moment. With that said, the end results are going to be beautiful and functional, giving the downtown a well deserved facelift.
Development and Cottage Country – Opportunities for Lake Health Improvement Project
Local residents that might have otherwise worked or vacationed elsewhere are hunkered down. Remote working or va(stay)cationing is not unusual anymore - it has been the norm. I’ve never seen so many people as I have this past winter out enjoying the frozen lake conditions. Who knew snowboarding behind a snowmobile was a thing?!
Versatile Potatoes by TheDevineKitchen
We all know how to bake a potato topped with butter or sour cream, chives and salt—delicious. But here’s a fun recipe with a personality to elevate that experience 10-fold. Serve them as 2-bite appetizers, or in part for a casual dinner.

Versatile Lentils by TheDevineKitchen
What we need on a regular basis are healthy recipes for cooking simple but rich food. French lentils are a high-fiber and high-protein addition to many meals. They’re tastier than brown or red lentils and their firm texture makes them an excellent choice for salads, for lentil soup, and as a side with fish, pork or poultry. Here’s a flavor enhancing method for cooking them. French lentils are available at Joanne’s Place here in the Kawarthas.
NEWS RELEASE from Eastern Ontario Regional Network
After years of preparation, March 19 marked one of the most exciting days in the history of EORN, certainly in my time on the board. The Cell Gap Project contract is now formally signed and we are looking forward to improving the quality of life for people across eastern Ontario through an extensive network of new and updated telecommunications infrastructure deployed by our partner Rogers Communications. As with any larger infrastructure project, solving gaps in cell connectivity will take a few years.
