The Digest

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Ceremony 🧡

Belleville will mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with events on September 30. At 11 a.m., Market Square will feature speakers like Chief R.

☠️ Death and Taxes

Only 2 things are guaranteed in life. Luckily today it’s just the taxman coming and not the grim reaper. We hate to be the bearer of bad news on a positive newsletter, however, a friendly reminder the Belleville city taxes are due today. Let’s just move on to more fun stuff…

Business Spotlight

👔 Lafferty’s

If you’ve bought a suit for a wedding, prom or just a hot date in the Bay of Quinte you probably got it here. Lafferty’s, Belleville’s iconic menswear store, is entering a new era as ownership shifts from Tom Lafferty to Taylor Russett. After years of dressing the city’s finest, Tom is passing the torch to ensure the store's legacy of sharp tailoring and exceptional service endures. Taylor, a passionate entrepreneur, aims to uphold the traditions that have made Lafferty’s a beloved staple while introducing a fresh perspective to modern men’s fashion. This smooth transition guarantees that the quality and style cherished by Belleville will continue to thrive under Russett’s leadership for generations to come.
