Local publishing company focuses on highlighting local stories
The Canadian Press 2020-12-17
Merrickville is the home of an independent publishing company, focused on highlighting the untold stories of Ontario’s local history.
Owner, Bruce Kemp, started the Waypoint Press four years ago just before he moved to Merrickville from Kelowna, B.C. “British Colombia has a thriving regional history program in terms of publishing, and they do a great job on it,” Bruce notes. “But unfortunately, Ontario has dropped the ball on that.”
As an award-winning writer and photographer himself, Bruce saw a niche particularly around Great Lakes history. He published his first book with Waypoint, Weather Bomb 1913: Life and Death on the Great Lakes,in 2017 which was about a rare white hurricane that ravaged the area. “Oddly enough that’s still selling very well,” Bruce says.
