Chatham-Kent planning to name Wheatley soccer field after late Michael Laliberte WHEATLEY — Municipal officials are seeking public input into a request to re-name the Wheatley Soccer Field to the Michael Laliberte Memorial Soccer Field. Michael, a 16-year-old, lost his life to cancer in July of last year. During his three-year battle with cancer, he not only played soccer, but also served as a referee and coach. The soccer field was his refuge as he underwent chemotherapy. A member of the Leamington District Secondary School Lions, the Wheatley Warriors and Wheatley Area Minor Soccer, Michael maintained his status as an
honour student and was a member of the Principal’s Honour Roll. Renaming the soccer field after Michael would be a way to honour his memory and fighting spirit. Members of the public who would like to comment on the request should visit https://www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/ and voice their opinion. No registration is needed. Public input will be taken until March 12. Results will be submitted to Chatham-Kent Council, which makes the final decision.
Janitorial contract re-awarded VALENTINE’S CARDS FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS LEAMINGTON — These three youngsters spent time last week creating Valentine’s Day cards for patients at Erie Shores HealthCare. Their hard work paid off when the cards were delivered on Friday morning to hospital staff, who are in the back row of the photo. In front, from left, are Tanner Langley, Lauren Meadows and Hudson Langley, all of whom are students at Centennial Central Public School in Comber. About 60 Valentine cards were prepared by the students at the school, for the second year. The hospital staff in the back row are Lynn Mitchell, Priyanka Philip and Kate DiGrandi. Photo submitted
LEAMINGTON — The Municipality of Leamington has once again changed municipal janitorial contractors. In late November, Leamington Council awarded the janitorial contract to Cheema Cleaning Services of Calendon, Ontario. During the process of finalizing the agreement, Cheema was unable to fullfill the terms of the contract and administration has recommended awarding the contract to the previous company, locally-owned M&S Janitorial.
Cheema’s bid of $241,250 came in considerably lower than all other bids and council was obligated to accept the lowest bid. At the time, both Mayor Hilda MacDonald and Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke, expressed concern about accepting a contract from an out-of-town janitorial service. After a short discussion, council voted to award the remainder of the contract to M&S Janitorial.
