Ontario schools impose grade based cellphone bans this week
Ontario implements new rules restricting cellphone use in classrooms across all grades. Kindergarten to Grade 6 must keep devices silent and out of sight, while Grades 7 to 12 may only use phones with educator permission or for special needs. Critics seek clearer enforcement guidance and support for staff.

Hymers Fair resumes after storm disruption
Hymers Agricultural Society staff and volunteers kept the Hymers Fall Fair running at 9 a.m. on Sunday after a Saturday night hail and rain storm knocked out power to Kakabeka Falls to the Canada U S border. Generators were used to keep fridges and freezers running and food safe while tents and porta-potties were damaged or blown over. Erin Laforest praised the team for their quick, coordinated response and noted widespread recovery by Sunday morning.
