Appointment required at hospital for COVID-19 testing LEAMINGTON — As announced Friday, October 2, the COVID-19 Assessment Centre at Erie Shores HealthCare has switched to an ‘appointment only’ model, meaning that those wishing to be tested must book an appointment. Prior to the province’s announcement last week, the local centre was on a walk-in basis. Anyone wanting a test could get one. Premier Ford announced late last week that they are changing things up, now requiring you to have symptoms or be from a high risk group. With new guidelines put in place, you can make an appointment for testing if you are showing symptoms, have been notified by Public Health or the COVID-19 app about potential exposure, you work in an at-risk setting, you will be visiting a long term care home, or if you require testing prior to a medical procedure. Appointments are available seven days a week from 8 am to 6 pm. You can book your appointment by calling the COVID Hotline at 519326-2373, extension 4263, or use the new online booking tool at https:// testing.getcorigan.ca and be sure to select Leamington as your preferred location.

UP UP AND AWAY! LEAMINGTON — These three giant tropical fish kites were just a small portion of the Southpiont Kites and Lights Show that was held this past weekend at the municipal soccer fields east of Leamington. Organizer George Paisiovich estimated a total of about 2,000 people attended the event, which, due to COVID restrictions, patrons were able to view from their vehicle. Last year’s event attracted well over 5,000 people, but patrons were allowed to wander the grounds. Paisiovich hopes that next year’s event will be back to normal with the restrictions lifted. Saturday was perfect weather for the kites, and a light show followed once darkness fell on the soccer fields. Paisiovich was happy that they were able to bring the show together for the community when so many other events were being cancelled. Sun photo
Sleeping Out event raises over $150,000 LEAMINGTON — The annual fundraiser for The Bridge Youth Resource Centre was done a little differently, but the results surpassed the previous totals when it came to funds raised. This year’s Sleeping Out at The Bridge had 127 participants, 15 teams and 654 donations, totalling $152,519.71. On Friday October 2, participants handed in their pledges and then were off to sleep outdoors with just some cardboard and a sleeping bag. This was to emulate what homeless youth may have to endure when faced with not being
able to find a place to sleep. Most participants chose to sleep in their own back yards due to COVID restrictions, but a hardy few braved the cold temperatures on The Bridge property on Sherk Street. A livestream of entertainment and activities were on tap for participants to watch on their mobile devices. Local musician Justin Latam entertained from inside The Bridge main building, where Arms Bumanlag acted as emcee for the evening. The Bridge Executive Director Krista Rempel was excited to get
underway Friday evening. “This has been great,” she said. “Our team has worked so hard.” At that point on Friday, the totals had already surpassed $100,000 in donations. The top fundraising corporate team was Essex Weld Solutions with $30,000 raised. First Lutheran Church and UMEI tied for most funds raised for an independant team, with both topping $5,000. Individually, the top fundraiser prize went to Tracey Sharron who gathered $3,492.00 for the cause.
