Established in 1994, the
Journal was originally published as the West Colchester Free Press
by Ken Kennedy Publications, and later renamed to The Shoreline
Journal. In January 2008 The Journal changed hands and is now
under the management of Maurice Rees. He initiated a redesign of the paper, with the addition of
several colour pages in each issue. Each monthly issue concentrates on the
many community events which involve residents of all ages, from the
elderly to
the very young, and those young at heart. A primary
focus is those activities which involve students, whether it be school
or 4-H club activities.
Maurice has extensive experience in the community newspaper & advertising field, and has been running several businesses in Maitland for the past few years.
