Town lobbies for medical services
By Ron Giofu
Funding for after-hours and weekend medical clinics is being sought by Amherstburg but it is one of many such requests the province is hearing.
The Town of Amherstburg teamed with the County of Essex to pitch “More Hours, More Patients, More Care” to the provincial government during the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in Ottawa.
Among the local delegation were Mayor Michael Prue, Deputy Mayor Chris Gibb, Councillor Linden Crain, town CAO Valerie Critchley and Deputy CAO/ director of development service Melissa Osborne from the town and Warden Hilda MacDonald and county CAO Sandra Zwiers from the county.
According to the town and the county, they “are seeking provincial support to address the lack of weekend and after-hours health care options in a rapidly growing town with an expanding population of seniors that is isolated geographically from hospitals in the urban centres of Windsor and Leamington.
“Amherstburg is an outlier in the County of Essex in that it has no urgent-care clinics or walk-in clinics catering to non-rostered patients. The Amherstburg Family Health Team offers a walk-in clinic one day per week and one day on the weekend, but only to rostered patients. The Town’s Nurse Practitioner-led clinic, which similarly treats only rostered patients, offers no care past 6 p.m. or on weekends,” the presentation adds.
The submission adds: “Funding for additional physicians for the Amherstburg Family Health Team or funding for additional nurse practitioners to the town’s NPLC would enable either facility to dramatically expand the number of patients they serve while also expanding their hours into the evenings and weekends. It would effectively address the issue of care for non-rostered patients by expanding the number of attached patients.”

Open Air wraps up with Amherst Palooza
By Fred Groves
All summer long, music has been a big part of Amherstburg’s Open Air Weekends.
On Saturday, entertainment took centre stage at the clock tower as 14 different acts delighted those who came out to listen.
The specific event, which helped bring Open Air to a conclusion for another year, was called Amherst Palooza.
“Lollapalooza is a festival in California. Last year was our first year and it was hosted by Burger 67. This year the town got on board,” said Bethnay D’Alimonte from Musicland who helped sponsor this year’s Amherst Palooza.
Beginning at noon and running into the evening, over two dozen musical guests were front-and-centre. It started off with Dave Wilson and was followed by a
duo which calls themselves Petals of Gold.
“We’ve been doing this now for two years,” said Tilbury’s Hannah Rivard. “We are both music teachers.” Rivard shared the stage with partner Justin Dow from Windsor who joined in the vocals and played guitar.
Asked what type of music Petals of Gold likes to play, Rivard said, “we like to have something that pleases everyone.
Leaving the clock tower stage, they immediately went to the Navy Yard Park where several improv stages were set up. That is where Taylor Hallott who performed at 5:30 p.m., spent a good part of her day playing guitar and singing and wearing her fashionable sunglasses.
Performers came in all ages and included 11-year-old Jackson Crawley.

Birthday celebration marked for local 100-year-old resident
By Ron Giofu
Friends and family of Larry McBride gathered on the weekend for a special occasion.
A birthday party to celebrate McBride’s 100th birthday was held Saturday afternoon at the Columbus Community Hall in Amherstburg. McBride actually turned 100 this past Tuesday (Sept. 3) but his loved ones celebrated a little early with him.
“It’s very nice,” he said of the birthday party. “I
can’t believe all of these people are here.”
Longevity is part of his family’s history, but McBride has surpassed them all. He pointed out his mother and father each lived into their late 80’s. McBride added he doesn’t know why he has managed to make it to the century mark.
“I haven’t got a reason why I’ve lived this long,” said McBride. “I have no reason.”
Some of his fondest memories revolve around his days as a youth with his mother or father.
McBride recalls hearing cars when he was six-yearsold and running to the road with siblings to see them since they were few and far between in that era.
“It was a big deal to see a car on the road,” he said.
McBride said he has seen a lot of changes over the years, many of which he doesn’t like, noting there are
“too many cars” today.
“It’s very, very much of a change,” he said.
The lifelong Amherstburg resident was born at his parents farm on Pike Road in 1924. He was the youngest of 14 children, and is now the sole survivor. McBride’s schooling only went to Grade 8, when he started working on the farm until he was 18-years-old.
McBride worked at what was originally known as Brunner Mond and through the numerous name changes for 40 years, retiring at age 62.
In his youth, he used to swim to Boblo Island. He met his wife Kate when he was 15 and they would marry in 1946. They were married for 74 years before she passed away in 2020.
McBride has four children, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Police arrest man they say was wanted on outstanding warrants
An officer with the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment was on general patrol Aug. 27 when he recognized a male in the 200 block of Park St. who was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant.
Police say the 51-year-old male was wanted on outstanding charges of unlawfully in a dwelling and possession of break and enter tools. The male was arrested
without incident. Threat charge Officers responded to the 200 block of King St. for a report of threats Aug. 28.
According to police, it was alleged that a dispute had taken place over an online purchase. As a result, a 58-year-old male was charged with uttering threats. The male was arrested and released on a future court date.

Golf cart concerns
Police have been receiving reports from concerned citizens about the use of golf carts in certain neighborhoods. Police say golf carts are not allowed to be driven on Ontario roads.
Police say if a person is caught driving a golf cart on a road, they may face fines such as. operate motor vehicle on a roadway with no insurance, operate motor vehicle
without required equipment, operate motor vehicle with no vehicle permit and operate motor vehicle on a roadway with no driver’s licence.
In addition, police say if a person is intoxicated by alcohol or drug, they could face impaired driving charges while operating a golf cart on or off the roadway.

Harrow Fair continues its 170-year tradition of celebrating agriculture
By Donna Tuckwell & Ron Giofu
The Harrow Fair does more than mark the end of summer.
It carries on the traditions of pie baking contests, cattle judging, lawnmower races, tractor pulls, a roster calling contest, the Saturday morning parade and evening entertainment. There is always something for everyone!
The Brad and Joanne Stannard Memorial Pie Auction at the 2024 Harrow Fair has raised a record-breaking $117,500. Money from the event on Thursday goes towards the John McGivney Children’s Centre.
Emma Denotter is a director with the Harrow Fair board.
“Our numbers were down from last year, we were more on target from 2019,” she said. “The heat on Friday played a factor, even the vendors noticed it.”
Julie Unholzer is the one of the 4-H Dairy Club Leaders. “We had fifteen
members here today for the Dairy Show, ranging in age from nine to twenty-one. They get split into classes, junior, intermediate, and senior classes,” she said. “They compete against each other for how well they know how to show their animal, then on to conformation, which is based more on the age and the look of your cow.”
First place for Grand Champion Show Person was Jane Morrison who shows for Bally Bright Farms.
Nine-year-old Teia Jacques was first for Conformation, showing for Wridair Farms. This was her first year competing at this level, but said “I’ve done Peewee before.”
“We go to a farm three days a week to practice,” said Jacques, who thinks she will compete again next year. “I really liked how people are nice, how people take care of the animals, and how good they are,” said Jacques. “I also learned a couple of new things today.”
The parade on Saturday was lively
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Adler’s legacy will live on, says resident
I first got to know Marty Adler a long time ago, too long to remember exactly where.
I was always impressed at following his many involvements throughout the years. He definitely had a charisma and charm, that he used so well. His ultimate gift of seeing “CKBG The Burg” come to fruition and become a mainstay in town; after many roadblocks got
in the way; has truly been a lesson in disguise. That being, never ever give up on your aspirations.
I want to believe Amherstburg will truly benefit from Marty’s legacy, now and for many years to come.
Thank you,
with approximately two dozen floats. The award for best agriculture float went to South SX Livestock, in memory of Jay Anger, and best commercial float award went to Harrow Home Hardware.
“We would like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work, this fair wouldn’t be possible without them, they make the ferris wheel go around,” said Denotter.
The opening ceremony for the Harrow Fair was last Thursday evening.
Libro Credit Union was a major sponsor and regional manager Lori Atkinson helped present a cheque to the board.
“This event is a cherished tradition in the county, bringing friends, family and neighbours to celebrate the spirit in Harrow,” she said.
The fair celebrates “the deep roots of agriculture” and Atkinson recognized those who helped organize the event..
“It celebrates the vital role agriculture plays in our lives,” she said.
Essex Mayor Sherry Bondy said the 170
years the Harrow Fair has been running “is no small feat.” She referred to it as a tradition for many people in Essex County.
“The fair means so much to so many people,” she said.
Essex Deputy Mayor Rob Shepley represented the County of Essex and joined Bondy in celebrating the 170-year history. He said he always looked forward to the fair throughout his life.
Essex MP Chris Lewis called the fair “a celebration of agriculture” and said he couldn’t serve the community without the service of the farming community.
Tourism Windsor-Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI) CEO Gordon Orr officially opened the fair. He thanked the board, the volunteers, vendors, sponsors and the public for supporting it. Generations of farmers have made the Harrow Fair an annual tradition, he stated.
“Agri-tourism is an important pillar for our organization,” added Orr.

Amherstburg breaks ground on new pickleball courts at Libro Centre
By Ron Giofu
Local pickleball players will soon have courts to enjoy in Amherstburg.
Ground has been broken for the new pickleball courts at the Libro Centre. Located on a grass area between the paved parking lot and the gravel parking lot just south of Bruno Casanova Way, the official groundbreaking ceremony was held last Tuesday morning. Members of town council, administration, the Amherstburg Pickleball Association (APA) and the Jones Group Ltd. took part in the ceremony.
Amherstburg Mayor Michael Prue said the APA works hard to get what they want.
“This organization is very in your face,” said Prue. “We know at council meetings when they show up to advocate. They do a great job at that.”
Prue not only acknowledged that the pickleball players have been persistent in advocating for the eight pickleball-specific courts, but they are actively raising money for them as well.
“We need you to keep doing that,” Prue told the APA members.
The Jones Group won the bid to construct the eight new pickleball courts and it will cost $476,815.11 net HST, including contingency. The town currently does not have any courts dedicated specifically for pickleball-only.
The new courts are expected to be ready by late fall 2024, if the weather co-operates.
“That’s really amazing,” Prue said of the timeline. The new courts will be for the entire community, not just the APA.
“We’re thrilled to move forward with this project and see these courts become part of the Libro Centre’s hub for sports and recreation in Amherstburg,” said Prue. “Pickleball has grown tremendously and these courts will give everyone in the community a place
to play and stay active.”
APA member Tim Rousseau greeted the group on behalf of president Richard White.
Rousseau called it “truly an exciting time in Amherstburg” and thanked town council and administration “for listening to the voices we brought and the suggestions we had.”
Rousseau said the new courts are the first step and the group will be able to show something to potential donors and sponsors.
“We’ll work hard and we’ll get more sponsors,” he said.
The new courts are part of a “health and wellness facility that can be enjoyed by anyone,” Rousseau added.
“It’s been a long time coming,” added director of parks, facilities and recreation Heidi Baillargeon.
Baillargeon thanked her colleagues in administration for helping to prepare the tender documents and she thanked town council as well. She also expressed gratitude to the APA for its work on the project.
from your heart today: Dear Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again the

New students learn the ropes at North Star High School
By Ron Giofu
Students calling North Star High School home for the first time got an in-depth look around last week.
Grade 9 orientation day was conducted last Wednesday morning at the Amherstburg high school where incoming students were allowed to check out where their lockers and classes are.
Staff was on hand to assist but it was senior student leaders who helped plan the day and assist their younger classmates.
“We are working to make sure the Grade 9’s know what to do and where to go,” said Addison Reaume, a senior student who helped plan orientation day.
The Grade 9 students met in the

gymnasium and heard from student success teacher Kary Coulson before the team of senior student leaders took over.
The new students took their schedules, found their way to their classes and were given lessons on not only where to find their lockers, but how to unlock their padlocks as well. Reaume pointed out there were also games to engage the
students and encourage team building.
North Star wants to ensure the new students get used to their new surroundings quickly, said Reaume.
“We want to make sure they are prepared for high school and prepared for their first day,” she said.
There were 44 peer mentors that helped with the Grade 9 orientation day, Reaume
added, and planning for the event took four weeks over the summer. She said they wanted to make sure the Grade 9 students feel like home when they arrive.
Town, county seeking funding for after-hours and weekend care
Continued from Page 1
The request by the county and town states that an annual investment of $300,000 would support the placement of one additional physician or two additional nurse practitioners into existing facilities and provide for the rostering of 1,600 additional patients with the flexibility for expanded hours on evenings and weekends. A $600,000 would allow for the rostering of 3,200 additional patients “and even more flexibility to offer Amherstburg residents quality care when and where they need it most.”
Gibb said the conference gives municipalities a chance to meet directly with provincial officials.
“One of the biggest opportunities you have by going to these conferences is you get to delegate directly to certain ministries,” said Gibb.
The deputy mayor added it is “a great opportunity” to discuss with those who are in the ministries what challenges municipalities face. Gibb said he appreciates there is only so much money to go around but hopes
$7,500
Amherstburg has got the attention of the province so after-hours and weekend medical care can come to town. He added the town reduced rental rates to encourage the success of the town’s current nurse practitioner-led clinic and will amend its Community Improvement Plan to offer incentives to health care providers to locate in town.
“If we can partner with the Ministry of Health and show that we’re willing to work with them, we’re hoping they can come to the table with funding,” said Gibb. Gibb said he’s “always optimistic” and hopeful they can move the needle forward given Essex MPP Anthony Leardi was part of who they delegated to. Leardi is the Parliamentary Assistant to Minister of Health Sylvia Jones.
Leardi indicated that while he heard the request from the Town of Amherstburg and County of Essex, it wasn’t the only such request that came in.
“It was very similar to all of the other delegations I heard,” said Leardi. “I met with 36 delegations from
various parts of Ontario. The Minister of Health met with 36 delegations from all parts of Ontario. Amherstburg was very similar to all the other requests we received.”
Leardi noted there were not only the 72 requests made at the AMO conference, but the ministry also receives requests from some of the other 444 municipalities.
“Practically all of them are asking for the same thing,” he said. “We have to take a look at the ones that put together a package which would meet the people’s needs in a superior way. We try to choose the better ones.”
The province can’t fund all requests, he said.
“The ministry is consistently looking at proposals from across the province,” he said.
Funding announcements are usually made around budget-time in April, he added.
“I’m continuing to work hard to make sure the interests of Essex County are being heard at Queen’s Park,” he said. “In particular, that’s how we got an additional 1,200 patients served at a nurse practitioner-led clinic in Kingsville.”

Fight Like Mason flag raised to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
By Ron Giofu
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is observed every September and the Fight Like Mason Foundation helps lead the charge locally.
The foundation, led by Iain and Chantelle Macri, conducted a flag raising ceremony last Thursday morning at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg. It was one of several flag raising ceremonies held last week by the Fight Like Mason Foundation, with others being performed in LaSalle and Windsor.
Iain said they were pleased to see everyone come together and support the cause. People can “Go Gold” this month and that includes getting a sign to promote the cause.
In addition to fundraising, Iain commented that it was an event to raise awareness as well.
“Thank you to the Town of Amherstburg for agreeing to do a flag raising year after year,” said Iain. “Thank you for believing in our cause.”
The Macri family noted that thousands still have to deal with the news that their
child has cancer and have to discover strength they didn’t know they had. There are over 40 types of children’s cancer and children locally have to often travel to Toronto, London, or the United States for treatment.
“We’re hoping flying this flag acts as a beacon of hope to the community of Amherstburg and beyond,” he said. The
Macri family founded the Fight Like Mason Foundation in memory of their son Mason Macri, who passed away from cancer June 27, 2016 at the young age of four-years-old. He had been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of childhood cancer, when he was twoyears-old and has parents have continued his fight ever since.
The Fight Like Mason Foundation’s “Go Gold” initiative is called that because gold is the colour representative of childhood cancer.
Helping to raise the Fight Like Mason flag every year is someone impacted by childhood cancer. This year, it was sixyear-old Harper Drouillard. Harper is a survivor of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare form of cancer. She was impacted in 2022 but six weeks after diagnosis, it miraculously had disappeared.
The Drouillard family is hosting a “Heroes for Histio” fundraiser Sept. 28 at Malden Park in Windsor from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
“It’s an honour for us to come out each and every year and fly this flag,” said Mayor Michael Prue. “We believe very strongly in the cause and what you are doing. It is a very difficult thing to hear your child has cancer.”
Prue added he hopes progress has been made to eliminate childhood cancer, what he referred to as “a terrible scourge.”

“Amherst Palooza” part of closing weekend of Open Air Weekends
Continued on Page 1
“He comes to every open mic night we have, he’s awesome. He plays the keys and sings,” said D’Alimonte.
Although most of the acts on Saturday were identified by their individual names, there was one that adapted it’s handle from a National Hockey League player – Cal Clutterbuck.
The group Clutterbuck that performed Saturday in Amherstburg is composed of Steve Fields, his daughter Lauren and Bill Bryant.
Steve and Bill were a duo and then wanted to add
something more.
“We started to realize we needed to up our game and that we needed a better vocalist,” said Steve of bringing in his daughter.
The entertainment did not conclude when Monique Belanger left the stage as D’Alimonte said an open mic portion was available. As far as what happens next year, she seems excited about the prospects.
“We hosted an audition last March. All of the acts today are from those auditions. We don’t want to have the same people every year.”
Harper Drouillard raises the Fight Like Mason flag at the Libro Centre last Thursday morning.
Doug Biekx was one of the performers at last Saturday’s “Amherst Palooza” that was held as part of the closing weekend of Open Air Weekends.

WEST launches program in Amherstburg
By Ron Giofu
Those needing assistance in finding employment can get that help in Amherstburg.
Women’s Enterprise Skills Training (WEST) and Amherstburg Community Services (ACS) have teamed up to provide integrated employment services out of ACS’ office in the Amherstburg Community Hub. WEST is in town every Wednesday from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.
“It gives us an opportunity to provide our services to the growing Amherstburg community,” said WEST of Windsor executive director Rose Anguiano Hurst.
Corina Jancev, manager of integrated employment services with WEST, stated they try to connect people looking for work with job opportunities. They offer individualized needs assessment, career exploration and job search assistance, computer training classes, work placements, a resource centre, on-the-job training, employment workshops, and partnerships with employers including financial incentives for employers looking to hire WEST participants.
“We hope to grow in Amherstburg,” said Jancev.
Michelle Faulds, WEST’s lead job developer and industry placement specialist, said WEST offers many programs in addition to integrated employment services. While the employment program is the only one being offered directly in Amherstburg right now, they are happy to connect local residents with services being offered in their downtown Windsor
office or their office that will be opening in the Roundhouse Centre on Howard Ave. in Windsor.
WEST of Windsor is big on getting women into the trades and helps them get in-class training and employment placements. Skilled trades programs WEST offers include construction, electrical and CNC/millwright career paths. WEST also partners with other agencies and institutions, such as St. Clair College, on many of its programs.
“We’re trying to offer something for everyone who walks in the door,” said Hurst. “It’s quite broad the services we offer.”
Job re-training is another of the services the organization offers.

Local boxers do well at recent provincial tournament
5 BOXES
By Ron Giofu
Fighters with Amherstburg’s Fighting Island Boxing Club travelled to London for a competition late last month and came home with some hardware.
Five boxers from the local club headed to the novice provincial championships and they came home with two gold and three bronze.
Nathan Meloche captured gold at the 71kg level in the Master’s Division.
“I feel great about it,” said Meloche. “I performed really well. I stopped both my opponents.” Meloche said he has been training for 15 years and had his first three fights ten years ago. The 43-year-old returned to boxing in March.
“I just wanted to be more disciplined,” he said of his return to boxing.
Meloche said his mindset going into the most recent tournament was to win and not accept anything less.
“I wasn’t going to accept anything else,” said Meloche.
Jacob Reinkober won bronze in the 57kg weight class.
“I feel pretty good,” said Reinkober.
Reinkober had six fights going into the novice provincial championships and while he had a bronze medal finish, he said it was the best fight he could do. He said he is happy to come home with a bronze medal.
“I’ve done better,” said Reinkober.
Curtis Realba captured the gold medal in the 44kg
weight class. Realba said he has been boxing for two years and spent about one month training for the tournament. He felt “pretty good” about his finish in London.
“It’s fun,” he said of why he boxes.
Ben Evola won bronze in the 80+kg weight class.
“I feel good,” said Evola. “I lost, but it’s a learning experience. I didn’t completely lose.”
Evola didn’t spend the time he would have liked to prepare for the tournament and believed he “did OK”
Hockey school presented by Amherstburg coaches
By Ron Giofu
A local hockey school hit the ice last week and lived up to its name by showing girls the very basics of how to play.
The Back to Basics Hockey School was held over the last three weeks and operated by owners and Amherstburg residents Bill Atkinson and Dan Pettypiece. It was held Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Vollmer Centre in LaSalle.
“We’re teaching edgework, like inside edges, outside edges and skating forward and backward,” said Jason Rauth, one of the camp’s instructors.
It was Rauth’s first year at the camp and he got involved through Atkinson. The two will be causing a Windsor Wildcats U15 girls team this season and Atkinson invited Rauth to come out.
“It’s awesome because it’s legitimately what it says,” said Rauth. “It’s back to basics. You learn how to hold a stick, skate, pass and shoot. You already see the improvement (in the players).”
Pettypiece said the camp went well, though was down a bit in the number of participants. Enrolment started quickly but a lot of other schools took place during August and he believes that impacted them.
“There are only so many pieces of the pie to go around,” he said.
Players from ages 6-10 and 11-16 participated. Older girls also helped instruct the younger players.
“The kids are awesome,” said Pettypiece. “They work hard and don’t complain.”
The instructors were great with the kids, he added, and they have fun teaching them how to play the sport.
Atkinson agreed it went well, noting their school lives up to its name by teaching the basics.
“We’ve been around a long time,” he said.
Atkinson said he has been coaching with Pettypiece for about 40 years. While he’s not sure how long the school will continue, he added he is sure he’ll coach with Pettypiece somewhere.
“I’ll never, ever regret being on the ice with the kids,” he said.
Atkinson said he coaches the children of players he coached years ago while Pettypiece has coached generations of the same family as well.
Casey Sutts, another of the camp’s instructors, said there was “100 per cent improvement” in the players from the first day to the last.
“It’s back to basics with all of the skills they need,” he said. “Start to finish, it brings them back to square one.”
For those players with basic skills, it helps refine them even further, Sutts added.
for the amount of preparation he was able to put towards getting ready.
“I like the exercise,” he said. “I like the brotherhood. I like the sport.”
Dawson Woltz-Raby, who was unavailable for the interview last Wednesday night, won the bronze medal in the 70kg weight class.
Joe LeBlanc, owner and a coach with the Fighting Island Boxing Club, said there were two rings over three days packed with action at the competition.
LeBlanc was proud of his fighters for coming home with medals.
“I couldn’t have asked any more of them,” he said. “They all did extremely well. There were big crowds. It’s a brand new ballgame for many of them.”
The Fighting Island Boxing Club will return to Shooters Roadhouse Sept. 21 for their next show “Battle in the Burg.” Doors open at 6 p.m. and fights start at 7 p.m. Ticket prices are $25. LeBlanc gave thanks to Jeff Coulter of the Smart Build Group for providing the large tent that houses the ring and the fans for the outdoor show.

Elder abuse the subject of recent “Feast with Friends” seminar
By Ron Giofu
As seniors comprise the bulk of the audience at Amherstburg Community Services’ (ACS) “Feast with Friends” luncheons, a recent luncheon was another attempt to keep them safe.
The topic of elder abuse was raised last Thursday afternoon with a presentation on how to recognize it and how to deal with it given by Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment
Const. Nick Dupuis, the community services officer.
Dupuis outlined various different types of elder abuse, from psychological abuse to financial abuse and physical abuse.
On the former, Dupuis said that includes isolation with that meaning people often keep their parents or other older adults away from other people.
“Isolation is a big one,” said Dupuis. “You are cutting someone off from their social group.”
Financial abuse can mean withholding money from an older adult or misusing their funds without their knowledge.
Signs that someone may be being abused include changes in their appearance or behaviour. If a person had once been well groomed and that stops being the case, that could be a sign something negative is occurring. Other signs of elder abuse are increasing anxiety or depression, fear, social withdrawal, unexplained physical injury, lack of food or clothing, unusual bank withdrawals, and failing to meet financial obligations.

“It can happen to any older adult,” Dupuis added of elder abuse.
Abusers can be family members, friends or anyone in a position of trust, he told the group.
If a person suspects that a friend or family member is being abused, Dupuis urged them to be a supportive as possible. He noted it may take a long time to get them to open up.
“For someone being abused, you are going to need them to co-operate,” he said. “Ask open-ended questions and be patient.”
Dupuis told the seniors present to not judge someone they think might be being abused and to try and advocate from them. He said victims will reach out when they are ready, adding people should not encounter suspected abusers on their own.
“The victim should be in control of what happens,” he said.
People can make anonymous calls to police’s non-emergency number to report abuse and that wellness checks can be requested.

ACS executive director Kathy DiBartolomeo said she was enthusiastic when she learned of all the services WEST of Windsor offers. She said she is pleased ACS is partnering with WEST on the integrated employment services.

“ACS is very happy to welcome WEST to our space in the Amherstburg Community Hub,” she said.
