New traffic light asked for near Pickering Dr.

I’ve been down to town hall for two years now asking for them to put a light at Walmart exiting and entering Pickering Dr.

It would be a light similar to what they have at Maria’s and the old high school. This light is needed for the senior citizens that go and come to and from Walmart with walkers. The cars driving on Pickering do not slow down and stop for these people. We have six apartment buildings in this area alone. What are they waiting for? Someone to get seriously hurt if not killed? Thank you.

Cancer Centre Foundation, said it was an “unbelievable” event.

“The excitement is overwhelming,” said Kassem. Proceeds from the McGregor Music Festival will help the patient assistance fund and for dignity robes.

“There is no party like this festival,” said Kassem. “Every year, it gets better and better. So many people look forward to it.”

The festival shows how the community pulls together to battle cancer, said Kassem, regardless of whether it’s sunny or raining, “the community brings the sunshine.”

“Thank you to the community for showing support to the cancer community,” she added. “Our hearts are full.”
