POP-UP VACCINATION CLINIC LEAMINGTON — The three day pop-up vaccination clinic at the Central 33 parking lot in Leamington was deemed a great success, as about 1500 people got vaccinated against COVID-19. Even local dignitaries volunteered with the clinic as indicated in the photo on the left, where Chair of the Migrant Worker Community Program, Martin Varela, joined Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald in handing out freezies to vaccine recipients including these
three happy workers, who came to the clinic on Wednesday, July 7. In the photo on the right, Varela, left, poses with Mayor MacDonald and Erie Shores HealthCare President and CEO, Kristin Kennedy in front, while clinic leaders, Chris Nugent (captain of professional standards, Essex Windsor EMS) and Laura Strathdee (operations manager, CRST team), stand behind.

Lions Park neighbours ask for redesign
KINGSVILLE — A group of concerned citizens, the Lions Park Residents Group, spoke to Kingsville Council on Monday, July 12 about recent upgrades and incidents in the park. Justin Lafontaine, speaking on behalf of the group, cited numerous incidents over the past two years regarding aggressive behaviour, foul language and cars driving through the park. Lafontaine thanked OPP for increasing patrols and thanked the town for installing barriers, but feels those efforts have fallen short. “Even with those efforts, it’s not working,” he said. The town recently passed a ‘sunset bylaw’ to curtail after-dark activities in the park. One of the challenges of Kingsville’s smallest neighbourhood park is that it is not visible from the street. Upgrades to the park are in the works by the town and the neighbourhood group would like those upgrades paused until a redesign can be
done to help with the issues. Councillor Tony Gaffan doesn’t want a pause put on the process. “It’s important to fix the problems, not stop development,” he said. “We need to keep moving forward. This plan has been in the works for six to eight years now.” Councillor Tom Neufeld said there has been a minimum of 12 drafts for the Lions Park redesign. The group suggested a collaborative effort between the neighbours, the OPP and the municipality and also mentioned a park watch group being formed.
