New Help Line

Sarnia-Lambton residents will soon get all of their social services information from a single source. Ontario 2-1-1 is being expanded to seven regions including Lambton County, meaning the phone service will soon be available province wide. Sarnia-Lambton United Way Executive Director Dave Brown expects the service to be widely used…

The provincial government has spent more than 13-million dollars over four years to expand 2-1-1 service to all of Ontario including Sarnia-Lambton by next year.

CRUISE 2011

SENIORSCRUISE CONTINUES

JUNE 22, 2011

Sarnia, Ontario has had Seniors’ Cruises on Duc D'Orleans for more than 25 years. Initially Peter Henderson got Jacques Beauchamp and Mary Mathers to help him organize the first cruise. He wanted people in the area to be able to enjoy the waterfront as much as those with private watercraft could.

No one needed their names out front as the ‘Seniors’ were to be the focus of the day. Those who have contributed through the years have done it for the sake of giving enjoyment to the participants. ‘The cost, Peter would say, is ‘just a smile’.

When you see the faces of those coming from the trip, you know the effort is well worth it. As many as 2000 people have enjoyed this event and a light lunch in one day.

If you would like to help out, please take your contribution to the Cruise, June 22, or show up anytime after 8 a.m. for an assignment. If you wish to contribute to the Cruise, call 519-344-9518 or go to 265 N. Front Street, Suite 411-1. Cruises start at 9 am, and go until everyone’s had a ride. Rain or shine.
