What's in a name? Well, apparently an unnecessary letter. The Municipality of Chester has started a process Thursday to try and fix the name of Seffernsville. The New Ross Regional Development Society say the only family living in the area suggest it should be spelled without the second 's', as Seffernville. Warden Allen Webber says they will consult with local residents about the change.



Webber says council is interested in protecting their heritage in physical structures or names. He expects correspondence to be sent to residents in Seffernsville in the next week.

Report: Youth Leaving Lunenburg County At Alarming Rate

The Lunenburg County Community Fund has released its second report on how things are shaping up in the local area. The 2013 Vital Signs report is a follow-up from a 2010 report and provides information on critical issues concerning residents in the county including the economy, health, and housing.
