Supporting community on Nova Scotia’s South Shore

By Keith Corcoran

Advocate’s LighthouseNow newspaper and its editor, Kevin McBain, continue a tradition of supporting local community groups through sponsorship and volunteering, allowing both to make a tangible difference in Nova Scotia’s Lunenburg and Queens counties.

The seasoned scribe thrives when it comes to highlighting and contributing to the prosperity of his communities with resources, time and energy.

“I love working with youth and passing on the life and athletic skills that I have learned over the years and being a mentor to the young athletes,” says McBain, who's led the paper since 2022 and coached youth teams in several sports. “As a journalist and editor, I also enjoy telling the stories and talking to youth and highlighting their accomplishments in the newspaper.”

His current stint with LighthouseNow is his second. He was a graphic artist and sports reporter between 1992 and 1997. He moved back home to Saskatchewan, serving as a sports reporter and editor there before returning to Nova Scotia. He returned to LighthouseNow in 2018, as a contract reporter.
