M.D. BENNIE CAN DRIVE
LEAMINGTON — The M.D. Bennie Public School Holiday Can Drive was a huge success this year. Students were given the challenge of being the class with the most cans collected for the local Salvation Army. The Bulldogs rose to the occasion, raising a grand total of 2,132 cans. Special shoutout to Mrs. Saba’s class for bringing in the most cans (398). Showing caring for their community has been a school focus this month, and the Bulldogs showed their big hearts. Mrs. Mulholland’s RISE AM class collected and organized the cans, getting everything put together and ready for pickup. Submitted photo

Light the Night! C-K will be hosting virtual escape room
CHATHAM-KENT – Winter is here. The nights are long, and outside it’s cold and dark, but there is something wonderful that can brighten this time of year – the aurora borealis or northern lights! Chatham-Kent Public Library is offering a virtual escape room with a twist. Participants solve a series of virtual puzzles at home and then bring a password to a CKPL branch where they unlock a box to unleash the northern lights. Light the Night! will be available December 28 to January 14 at Tilbury, Chatham and Ridgetown branches and January 24 to February 11 at Blenheim, Dresden and Wallaceburg branches. Participants can access the puzzles through the library’s website www. ckpl.ca, Facebook page @CKPLibrary or by registering at their local branch. Light the Night! is a family activity geared to children age 7 and up. Contact your local library branch for more information.
