Weekly Newspaper delivering THE BEST of Tofield & Area since 1918!
Organizers of the Tofield Lions Club’s 15th Annual Show ‘n’ Shine declared the event a success despite the soggy conditions that may have kept away some entries and car fans on Monday, Aug. 7.
That’s due to the fact that
Three generations of the Hare family have served the Tofield community for many years as the owner/operators of Tofield IGA.

In August of 2018, 1 year away, the Mercury will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in Tofield. The Mercury was Tofield’s third newspaper in the early 1900s, and the one that obviously lasted. Not bad for a business recruited into Tofield by the business people of Tofield back in 1918.
The Mercury has a number of promotions planned leading up to the very first publication date, just over a year away. We’d like to invite former staff and former owners to the Mercury Centennial Celebration so please remind us if you or someone you know once worked at the Mercury.
We’re proud of the history of this newspaper, independently owned for nearly a century now.
“A successful community newspaper, despite being owned by several business people over the years, usually feels like it is community owned,” said present day owner Kerry Anderson. “Readers feel a part of it. The newspaper is a part of their upbringing. It catalogs in chronological order the events that shape the history of their towns.”
Think it’s easy money to be on Beaver County Council? Have an interest in running for council?
Besides two nearly day-long meetings twice a month and representing at various events inside and outside your respective division, plus being on call for complaints, concerns and advice from tax payers from your respective division, Councillors are on countless committees which also involve separate meetings, events, discussions, complaints, advice, research, and participation.
It’s a win/win situation for Caribou Publishing, owner of the Tofield Mercury, as an award-winning editor gets transferred while another award-winner replaces her in Tofield.
Patricia Harcourt, Mercury Editor, will re-locate to Caribou’s Weekly Review office in Viking. She has lived in Viking since 1999.
