Picton Gazette

The Picton Gazette was first published as The Hallowell Free Press in 1830. It is Canada’s oldest weekly newspaper. When Hallowell merged with Picton in 1836 it was renamed The Picton Gazette. Karen Valihora and Christopher Fanning, both of Prince Edward County, became the newspaper’s most recent publishers in 2023. The Picton Gazette is published every Wednesday, in print and digital editions. It focuses on local, municipal and Council news as well as the arts, culture, real estate, and sports of Prince Edward County.
