Top 10 reasons to advertise in

Number 10 Number 9 Number 8 Number 7 Number 6 Number 5 Number 4 Number 3 Number 2 Number 1

Because if I want The Leader to cover my event or provide space for my event, I know they need revenue to pay for it! One hand washes the other. I never take without giving back.

I like the idea of having an independent news agency in our area, because I don’t want to just be fed propaganda from municipalities, police and school boards just to appease me!

For years there was no media in the Lamont County area, just leaching media from other areas covering events here only for advertising dollars and no vested interest.

I don’t just advertise with The Leader to make sales but also to fend off competition from other businesses in the area and from other towns and cities in the area too.

I know if I don’t advertise with The Leader, that my event will not be covered when it happens mostly because they don’t know about it, but also because I didn’t support them so why would I expect them to support me.

The Leader is a local business, employing local people, donating to local charities, and involved with local causes. Tech giants do nothing for my family, my neighbours or my community.

The Leader covers all of Lamont County. These are my friends and neighbours and we support one another.

I try to buy all my printing from The Leader, or at least get a quote. They are honest and good to deal with. When I have a problem they look after it for me from printing to advertising.

I budget a portion of my revenue to advertising with The Leader. It’s smart business to re-invest in promoting my business.

I see other successful businesses advertising in The Leader. Great minds think alike!

Lamont Daycare expands with a second location in Bruderheim

BY JANA SEMENIUK

The Lamont Daycare, which first opened its doors last year out of the Archer building near the Lamont Health Care Centre, has expanded and will open a second location in Bruderheim just in time for the beginning of the school year.

The Bruderheim daycare will be located inside the building previously occupied by the Bruderheim Community Church near the old Moravian Church.

Daycare director Lisa Holt said the location was perfect as it sits conveniently across the highway from the Bruderheim School.

“This spot is perfect for daycare. It's got plenty of rooms,” said Holt. “(And it’s perfect for) the before and after school care program, the staff will just walk the (children) to the school and pick them up again.”

Holt said that while Lamont only had room for 21 children, Bruderheim will be able to accommodate plenty more.

“We're expecting 32 daycare spots and 25 out of school care spots,” she said adding the daycare is looking to be open during school professional development days and holidays in addition to providing limited drop in spots.

Holt said she is excited to be able to offer families another option when there is no room for them in Lamont.

“It is really exciting because Lamont is full and we are turning away people, so now at least the families that are coming from Bruderheim to Lamont can go back to Bruderheim, and at least if we have to turn a Lamont family away, they will have the option of Bruderheim,” said Holt.

Holt said the extra room at Bruderheim also means children can be separated better according to their age.

“Lamont is one room so the groups of 19 months to five years are all in one room, but in Bruderheim it will be separated a bit more,” she said.

“Its just a different care dynamic and gives Lamont County more options for child care.”

A former church in Bruderheim will be home to a second location of the Lamont Daycare scheduled to open in the fall.
