HGTV is looking for cottage owners looking to revamp their digs.
They’re looking for unique vacation homes to renovate for upcoming episodes of Scott’s Vacation House Rules, hosted by King’s own Scott McGillivray.
Think quirky cottages, funky farmhouses, chalets with character, or unusual properties like houseboats or treehouses. Turn a train or plane into a vacation rental! Or convert your GTA property into a short-term vacation destination.

The show is looking for potential properties now. To be eligible, all properties must be within a 2-3 hour drive of the Greater Toronto Area.
Property types include cottages, chalets, farmhouses, boathouses, historic homes – any property that would make a popular vacation rental.
Owners must have a minimum of $150,000 to contribute to the renovation. You must be outgoing and available 4-5 days over a period of 8-10 weeks for filming in 2022.
There is an online application form with all the necessary information.
Producers note the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the construction industry in a major way. The most important aspect for anyone considering a renovation at this time is to keep in mind is that the cost of labour and materials has risen dramatically over the past 18 months. As a result, a renovation that might have cost $100,000 to $150,000 a couple of years ago is easily being quoted at $250,000-plus today, depending on the specifics of the project.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.

An update on the revitalization of two local neighbourhoods filled the King council chambers last week, as residents voiced their concerns about future development and intensification.
