About

The Standard is Port Perry’s community-focused newspaper, delivering local news, events, and perspectives across Scugog, Uxbridge, Brock Townships, and Kawartha Lakes since 2004.

Published weekly from its Water Street office, it covers township happenings, business spotlights, sports, and human interest stories with a commitment to balanced reporting and resident voices.

Complementing historic local papers like the Port Perry Star and Ontario Observer—which endured fires and relocations since 1857—The Standard thrives digitally and in print, fostering informed communities amid modern challenges.
