• Quebec Street finally reopens: After being under construction since the spring, Oxford Street has finally reopened for traffic. Quebec at Salisbury, Mornington, and Elias have all received new left hand turning lanes and bike lanes on both sides.

Receiving the help they need in a timely manner can be a key factor in successful outcomes and brighter futures.” Initially starting in July, the program has served over 80 young people in the community and is expected to annually serve 500 youth. The Middlesex location is just one of 22 other hubs in the province.
