This newspaper is generally the only one that will tackle sensitive issues in Cornwall.

A tragic cliche appears to have played out; one that the public only now seems to be finding out about. A hearing was held in Toronto where Sheryl Fontaine, a soccer coach at Char Lan had her license revoked for allegedly sleeping with and sexual abusing a 14 year old female student while on a […]
