Dubbed Ontario’s Garden, Norfolk County is where, thanks to the area’s fertile, sandy loam soil, you’ll find a cornucopia of the incredible fruit and vegetables the province is able to grow. The region was once part of the tobacco belt, but many of the county’s farms have since transitioned to produce such as soybeans, ginseng, grapes and corn. Composed of communities including Simcoe and Port Dover, Norfolk County also boasts Long Point, a 40-kilometre stretch of land that is a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve. Go for a two-day road trip to this region, and you may be so charmed by its rolling hills and natural beauty that you’ll want to call it home too.
Winds, lightning could increase chance of wildfires

Crews continue to make progress on the Sand Mountain Fire burning in North Latah County.
Fire managers say full containment is only achieved when Idaho Department of Lands standards are met. 100 feet from the fire perimeter must be cold to the touch around the entire fire for full containment. Firefighters are “cold trailing” the fire checking for heat in the soil with their bare hands. The Sand Mountain Fire outside Harvard remains at 82% containment at around 1,600 acres.
Crews have completed a fire line around the entire perimeter of the Johnson Creek Fire North of Elk River. That blaze remains at 63% containment at around 1,300 acres.
