This latest endeavour with Canadian Blood Services is just one more ‘step’ in the family’s acknowledgement of those who helped them in their journey. They are paying it forward in the most generous way. The blood clinic will be held on Wednesday, March 17 at the Grovedale Arts & Culture Centre at 103 Park Street, Kingsville. The clinic runs from 1pm to 7 pm, but you will need to schedule an appointment due to COVID restrictions. You can do so by calling 1-888-236-6283 or booking online at blood.ca.

KINGSVILLE — The Super Ethan’s Steps fundraising group has adopted the upcoming blood donor clinic in Kingsville on March 17. Nicole Abdul-Massih, who is Ethan’s mom, is happy to be giving back. “Our family was introduced to Canadian Blood Services over seven years ago, when our son, Ethan, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia , six days before his second birthday,” she said. Over the next three-and-a-half years, Ethan was the recipient of countless blood and platelet transfusions in his fight against the disease. “All transfusions were needed right away, with little to no time for hesitation,” said Nicole. “Because of CBS and the generosity of those who donate blood products, Ethan was able to receive the transfusions exactly when he needed them.” Ethan completed his treatment in April of 2017 and the family is forever grateful to those who donate blood products, which helped save their little boy’s life. The first annual Super Ethan’s Steps event — an outdoor walking event to bring people together and raise awareness of childhood cancer — was held in the fall of 2016. They also have partnered with the Fight Like Mason Foundation in recent years to raise funds during the holiday season and help fulfill Christmas wishes for children on active cancer treatment.

Hydro One has reached a milestone in the Chatham to Lakeshore Line project, a new transmission line that will help accommodate future electricity growth, improve reliability for homes and businesses and support local industries in the region at a time when it is needed most. Over the past year, we have been conducting a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to build a new double-circuit 230-kilovolt transmission line from our Chatham Switching Station to the future Lakeshore Switching Station. Through the Class EA process, we have assessed three route alternatives and associated variations by collecting environmental and technical information, as well as input from agencies, First Nations and Haudenosaunee communities, community members, elected officials, interest groups and businesses. Based on this information gathered and feedback received, Route Alternative 2A has been selected as the preferred route for the new transmission line, as shown on the map below or in more detail on our website HydroOne.com/Chatham-to-Lakeshore. As we reach this milestone in the electricity transmission planning process, we are committed to sharing information and continuing the conversation.
