This week’s Uxbridge Cosmos captures both the challenges and resilience of the community, with headlines ranging from three firefighters injured while responding to a hazardous night call, to council tensions over an integrity commissioner’s report on councillor Todd Snooks. Alongside these serious stories, the paper highlights the Santa Claus parade and its volunteers, local fundraising efforts like Uxperience’s 2026 charity drive, and letters reflecting gratitude, concern for first responders, and debate over federal politics. Opinion columns tackle themes from political accountability to the hidden work of service dogs, while editorials remind readers to find gratitude even in difficult times. Together, the issue paints a clear picture of a town balancing urgent risks, civic responsibility, and the everyday spirit that keeps Uxbridge moving forward.
