Recent development proposals from Sterling in Wellington's village, Kaitlin for Cork and Vine, PEC Community Partners for Base31, and now Port Picton Homes' Cold Creek prioritize affordability, which means higher densities.

My favourite editorial this past year was about the history of tourism in the County. We called it, fancifully, “This Pleasured Isle, this Green and Storied Place,” (Aug. 10, 2023). We were trying to give a sense of summers long past.
