Segment on the front page of the final issue of Bradford Today. It reads:

Given the economic times and the advertising support the Today is receiving, publisher Simcoe-York Printing & Publishing has decided to cease publication.
We opened the paper in order to fill a gap left when the Gazette folded.

To those who welcomed us and supported us. We thank you."
