Good Morning, Haldimand County!

Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Week

February 24, 2026 • Estimated Reading Time: 17 minutes

Happy birthday to us! Tomorrow, Feb 25, the Haldimand County Pulse turns one. One year ago, we hit send for the first time and hoped a few neighbours would read it. Instead, we’ve fired off 101 editions, delivered more than 750,000 emails, hosted 39 giveaways and helped shine a spotlight on so many local events and businesses that we’ve officially lost count. Not because we don’t care. Because math.

Here’s what we do know: this only works because you show up. You subscribe, you share, you submit events, you show up at the fundraiser you almost skipped, and you spend your dollars close to home. And to the local businesses who advertise with us, thank you for keeping this thing free, local, and running on caffeine and community spirit.

We’re not done. Not even close. Year two is already looking busy in the best way.
