About Us
Quality news, where you want it, when you want it.
The Standard is the independently owned newspaper in North Durham. We offer local coverage of the news, politics, and sports that matter to Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock townships, and the Kawarthas.
Since 2004 The Standard has been working to bring you local news and views.
Our office is situated on Water Street, in Port Perry, but our staff spends a lot of time in the hamlets throughout North Durham and the Kawarthas.
