Looking for reliable hometown headlines? You definitely clicked on the right place.
Welcome to MiltonToday.ca, a news website that puts community journalism first. Our mission is to cover the stories that matter most: the ones right in your neighbourhood.
Launched this morning, MiltonToday is part of a growing network of local news sources in Ontario, including Halton Region sites BurlingtonToday, HaltonHillsToday, and Oakville News.
The editor of MiltonToday is Steve LeBlanc, a longtime resident with a decades-long track record in community journalism. Readers know him best for his excellent sports reporting (he was inducted into the Milton Sports Hall of Fame in 2022), but LeBlanc has covered it all during his career.
Joining him on the team is Bambang Sadewo, a talented reporter with a passion for local storytelling. Having covered Milton closely for the past five years, he is committed to shedding light on the town’s triumphs and challenges while amplifying the voice of its diverse and vibrant communities.
“As a lifelong Miltonian who’s covered this town’s happenings for nearly three decades, I’m excited for this new chapter to share stories that matter most to you," LeBlanc says. "Let’s get started.”
For Village Media, a leader in local journalism, MiltonToday is the company's 24th owned-and-operated news source in Ontario. Our roster also includes The Trillium, the largest team of Queen's Park journalists covering provincial politics and policy at the Ontario Legislature.
“When done with purpose and passion, local journalism has the power to connect and inform communities like nothing else can,” says Michael Friscolanti, the Editor-in-Chief of Village Media. “We introduce you to fascinating neighbours and celebrate local triumphs, but we also ask the tough questions and hold decision-makers to account. When local news thrives, everyone benefits.”
