WHEATLEY — Work continues finalizing the operational plan to allow residents and businesses the opportunity to access their properties. During the Wheatley community meeting held Wednesday, November 3, Thomas Kelly, General Manager of Infrastructure and Engineering, outlined steps for those wishing to visit their properties to gather belongings. During that meeting, it was suggested that insurance companies be involved in the process to access homes and provide winterization work. “We are now actively engaged in discussions with insurance companies to determine if this involvement can be accomplished in a safe manner,” said Kelly. “If feasible, the plan will be revised accordingly.” The municipality says it’s their goal to ensure the plan meets the needs of property owners. As administration continues the development of the property access plan, municipal staff has begun reaching out to homeowners and businesses to obtain critical information over the next two weeks. Following this step, staff will be contacting businesses and homeowners to arrange appointments for access during daylight hours. Drop-in child minding will be provided on a Saturday by volunteers from Tilbury Tots Early Learning Centre at their childcare centre located in Wheatley Area Public School and PAWR will be providing care for pets for evacuees needing these supports. More information will be available once the date has been finalized. Residents will see work begin in the coming days near 15 Erie Street North. Entegrus will be removing poles in preparation for future work in the area.
Winter is almost Santa Claus Parade in Kingsville Saturday here.

KINGSVILLE — The Kingsville Fantasy of Lights kicks off this weekend with the annual Santa Claus parade going through the downtown. The parade starts at 6:00 pm and as of last week, there were 74 entries in the parade. Roads will be closed at 5:30 to accommodate the parade, so it is recommended for spectators to arrive early and get your spot on the sidewalk. The parade will start at Jasperson and Main, and wrap up at Lakeside Park. The Fantasy of Lights display will be launched for visitors to walk through the park.
LEST WE FORGET
REGIONAL — Remembrance Day services were greeted with sunshine and mild temperatures on Thursday, November 11, as towns and cities across the country honoured their veterans and war dead. Wheatley Legion Branch 324 had to pivot due to the recent explosion and held their service at Two Creeks Conservation Area. Wheatley Legion also presented the Leamington service at Dieppe Memorial Park Cenotaph, and Kingsville held their service at the Legion Cenotaph. Attendance was high at all three ceremonies, as people gathered to honour those fallen for the freedoms we enjoy today. Above, Royal Canadian Air Cadets Sergeant Olivia Girardin stands guard at the cenotaph in Leamington, while bugler Glenn Sellick observes a moment of silence in the background.
