In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. — Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae Today, we pause to honour the Canadians who served, those who gave their lives, and those who returned home forever changed. We remember the families who grieve their loved ones and the veterans who have carried the lasting weight of their service. Today and always, we remember. © 2026 Cheryl Easton | CENTURY 21 Granite Realty Group Inc. All Rights Reserved. – at Bancroft, Ontario

YOUR SEPTIC TANK. TO PUMP OR NOT TO PUMP. Winter is not the best time for a routine septic pump-out. A recently pumped tank can become colder, increasing the risk of freezing in the system. Freezing can damage components and cause the tank to crack. Snow and frozen ground can also make the tank harder to access. For a seasonal property, the right approach depends on the system and how it will be used. An empty tank in saturated ground may even be pushed upward by groundwater. Before scheduling a pump-out, speak with a qualified septic professional about what is best for your property. If sewage is backing up or you suspect a problem, call for help immediately rather than waiting for spring. #HomeTips #CottageTips #SepticSystem #BancroftAndArea © 2026 Cheryl Easton | CENTURY 21 Granite Realty Group Inc.

ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR HOME OR COTTAGE EMPTY THIS WINTER? Whether you own a home in town, a cottage on the lake or a property that is currently for sale, now is a good time to check your winter insurance requirements. If you plan to be away or your property is sitting empty, ask your insurance provider: 🔹 What steps are required to protect the plumbing? 🔹 Does someone need to check the property while I am away? 🔹 Does my coverage change if the property is vacant? 🔹 Am I covered for damage caused by frozen pipes? Every policy is different, and the answers may depend on how the property is used. A quick call now could help you avoid an unwelcome surprise later. #BancroftOntario #BancroftRealEstate #CottageCountry #WinterHomeTips #HomeOwnership – at Bancroft, Ontario

DEMOCRACY BEGINS WITH US Bancroft’s Incoming Council: Priorities for the First 100 Days As Bancroft prepares for a new term of council, residents have an opportunity to hear directly from the people elected to represent them. We invited the mayor-elect and all six incoming councillors to answer the same question: ‘As you prepare for the new term of council, what is the one most important issue you believe Bancroft needs to address in the first 100 days, what action will you personally advocate for, and how will residents know whether progress is being made?’ We are pleased to share that Mayor-elect Tracy McGibbon and all six incoming councillors participated. ♦️Highlights From the Responses •Begin work early on a responsible and sustainable 2027 budget. •Review municipal spending, service delivery and opportunities for efficiencies. •Consider taxation, provincial funding and potential shared services with neighbouring municipalities. •Review winter road maintenance, sidewalk clearing and downtown snow removal. •Address roads, infrastructure and the Station Street bridge. •Review the municipal workforce and departmental responsibilities. •Consider community safety, parking, the arena and services for unhoused residents. •Improve transparency and keep residents informed through public updates and accessible budget discussions. •Review outstanding matters and help incoming council members become familiar with municipal processes and committee responsibilities. ♦️The Work Ahead The responses reflect a range of perspectives on the work facing Bancroft. It is encouraging to see the care and attention the mayor-elect and councillors have given to the needs of their constituents. Their responses show a shared interest in serving the community and addressing the issues that matter to residents. The early days of this new term will be an important time for the mayor and councillors to bring their thoughts, ideas and experience together. By listening to one another, working with municipal staff and keeping residents informed, they can help move Bancroft and its residents forward while laying the foundation for a successful four years. ♦️A Shared Responsibility A thriving community is built through a shared commitment between its elected representatives and the people they serve. The mayor and councillors have a responsibility to lead thoughtfully, make informed decisions, communicate openly and remain accountable. Residents, in turn, have an equally important role in staying informed, asking questions and participating in the decisions that shape their community. Following council meetings, understanding the issues, sharing verifiable information and offering constructive feedback are meaningful ways to engage. Residents have every right to question decisions and hold their representatives accountable, and that dialogue is strongest when it is grounded in facts and mutual respect. By distinguishing fact from fiction and remaining involved, we can contribute to the health and growth of our community. Bancroft’s future depends on responsible leadership and an informed, engaged community working together. ___ Thank you to the mayor-elect and all six councillors for sharing their perspectives. We appreciate their participation in this community conversation. Democracy begins with us, and it continues when we stay informed, participate and remain engaged in the decisions that shape our community. © 2026 Cheryl Easton, CENTURY 21 Granite Realty Group Inc.

FEDERAL BUDGET 2026 WHAT IT MEANS FOR HOMEBUYERS AND SELLERS The federal budget released on November 5, 2026 includes several housing measures that could affect Canadians buying, selling or planning for homeownership. Here are the highlights: 🔹Mortgage options: The government proposes expanding access to optional mortgage insurance for homes priced up to $1.5 million. Eligible first-time buyers or purchasers of newly built homes could also have access to 30-year amortizations under this proposal. 🔹Mortgage transparency: The budget proposes publishing more information on insured mortgage rates and consulting on clearer disclosure of mortgage prepayment penalties. Sellers should continue to check potential penalties with their lender before listing. 🔹Foreign-buyer restrictions: The government proposes extending restrictions on certain foreign purchases of existing residential properties until January 1, 2029, while exempting new residential properties. 🔹Home-sale proceeds: Proposed changes to federal deposit insurance include increasing the standard coverage limit and introducing temporary protection for certain higher balances, including proceeds from a home sale. 🔹Housing supply: The budget includes funding for affordable housing and changes to financing rules intended to support the construction of triplexes, fourplexes and other multi-unit properties. 🔹First-time buyers: The existing federal GST rebate for eligible first-time buyers of qualifying new homes remains available. Ontario also offers separate new-home HST relief, subject to eligibility and timing requirements. 🔹What does this mean for you? Some measures may create more options for buyers and sellers over time, but many are still proposals and require legislation or further details. They do not guarantee lower mortgage rates or immediate changes in local home prices. If you are planning to buy or sell, speak with your REALTOR®, mortgage professional and tax advisor about how the current rules apply to your situation. budget.canada.ca/2026/home-a… #FederalBudget2026 #CanadianRealEstate #Homebuyers #HomeSellers #HousingMarket #OntarioRealEstate – at Bancroft, Ontario

Thoughtful pricing, presentation and an understanding of comparable properties remain important. Conditions vary by municipality, property type and price range, so the experience of an individual buyer or seller may differ from the overall figures.
