The banners for the Canada hockey should have been taken down long ago they’re still hanging on the buildings. A buddy from out of town saw them and asked, “When is that coming?” I said, “That’s long gone.” Should have been taken down by now.

Why are the lines on the ice so blurry? You go to other rinks and they’re clear. When they showed the championship game on the sports network it was blurry. If you watch anywhere else the lines are clear; Cornwall has always had dull lines (at both rinks!).

The Glengarry Highland Games Named One of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals

Jane in Bonville wonders what’s up with dentists. I want to get some costly work done but they charge 100.00 to 130.00 just for a consultation. Obviously due to the price, I want at least 2 quotes. What is wrong with that? They just want to suck every cent possible out of folks, I guess. Any kind of work I need done; I always get quotes. Why do dentists think they are any different? I will go to one that does not charge for a consult if I can find one. Needless to say, they will add this cost on to bill anyway. Can’t win these days. Very sad.

The Stomping Grounds Bistro and Café located in the heritage Cotton Mills building built in 1873 is a warm, welcoming space. Whether you’re looking to enjoy an excellent cup of coffee, a couple drinks with friends, or a quality meal, they have something for every occasion.

Owner Phil Gilmour opened Stomping Grounds 7 years ago. ‘Stomping grounds’ is an expression meaning a place of familiarity. They offer lunch as well as a bistro style menu for dinner, with a focus on bringing customers fine dining quality with a casual atmosphere.

“I want that quality and all the details that go with it but we’re much more casual,” explained Gilmour, who grew up in Sault St. Marie and spent several years in Thunder Bay after attending school at Lakehead University, “I used to be a professional hockey referee, so I travelled through North America for about ten years. A lot of our menu is based on my experiences on the road.”

Stomping Grounds tries to be farm-to-table as much as possible in the summer months, and does their best to support local yearround, carrying craft beer from Rurban Brewery and wines sourced mostly from Ontario wineries.

River with close proximity to recreational trails, the café gets a lot of traffic from cyclists and tourists in the summer. In the spring and summer months they incorporate healthy, light lunch options into their menu for active customers stopping in for a bite to eat.

“We’re pretty proud to be part of the Cornwall Tourism scene. We do get a lot of out-of-town traffic and being a part of the community is pretty important to us,” Gilmour said, “I’m a huge advocate of Cornwall.”
