Torstar-owned Guelph Mercury to end printed edition

The Guelph Mercury, founded in 1867, will cease printing its paper edition with Friday’s issue. The  decision,. made by owners Torstar, will cost 23 full-time jobs and three-part time. The Mercury management said stopping the expensive print process was the only option to the paper’s losing business endeavor. The Guelph Mercury will continue to publish online.
