Biographical history
The North Leeds Lantern was a a community newspaper published monthly in Elgin, Ontario. In 1976, Susan Chamberlain of Elgin, Ontario was given seed money to develop a project that would interest the local population in the new Saint Lawrence College Campuses in Kingston and Brockville. Enlisting the support of Helen Sweet of Seeley's Bay and other dedicated volunteers, she produced the North Leeds Lantern as a community paper that would also promote the need for professional training for careers at St. Lawrence College. It was delivered into the areas served by the Rideau District High School from 1976 - 1992. Articles in the Lantern were often of an historical nature, including community overviews and reproductions of old photographs. Eventually, volunteer support dwindled and the Lantern was ceased production in 1992.
