TheSimcoe Reformer is anewspaper circulating inNorfolk County, Ontario andHaldimand County, Ontario, both inCanada. TheReformer is published weekdays.
In 1858, Dr William H. Oliver, who had written for and edited a number of periodicals in the early 1800s, established a weekly newspaper calledThe Erie News in Simcoe.[1] After publishing for three years, the newspaper was sold toWilliam Buckingham in 1861, who renamed itThe Norfolk Reformer. Buckingham edited the paper for 18 months under the motto, "The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance".[1][2] In 1922, theNorfolk Reformer and another newspaper,The Simcoe British Canadian, were purchased by the Pearce Publishing Company, which amalgamated them to createThe Simcoe Reformer. Pearce increased the frequency of publication of the newspaper, publishing it twice a week by 1934 and three times a week by 1953. In 1960, the newspaper became an "evening daily newspaper",[3] which it remained as until 1995, when it became a tabloid.[4]
Currently,The Simcoe Reformer has a smallcomics page with a maximum of fourcomic strips per day. Issues in the 1980s and 1990s had an entire page dedicated to classic comic strips likeMotley's Crew,Between Friends andFor Better or For Worse.
