February 18th is the 49th day of the year. There are 316 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Vaccination Clinic will be on the road at the Wallaceburg District Secondary School this afternoon 3-7.

The clinic is accepting walk-ins for all eligible residents who are looking to receive their first, second, or booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

The Bradley Centre clinic will reopen tomorrow 9-4.

If you are are looking to ensure a specific appointment time can still book an appointment at GetYourShotCK.ca or by calling 519-351-1010. All previously booked appointments will be honoured. RideCK is offering free rides to and from the clinic.

Monday is Family Day.

Beer and liquor stores in the province will be closed Monday. There will be no mail delivery and garbage and recycling will be pushed back one day next week.

Family Day is not a national statutory holiday, it’s observed in New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and in British Columbia.

Family Day was originally created to give people time to spend with their families but it also provides a day off between New Years Day and Good Friday as they are approximately three months apart. It was added to the calendar after the 2007 Provincial Election. Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty promised to add it if he was named Premier.

Canada back on the podium at the Winter Olympics.

On Day 14 Team Gushue wins men’s curling bronze medal beating the United States 8-5.

Skiers Cassie Sharpe and Rachael Karker have won silver and bronze, in the women’s freeski halfpipe. This is Canada’s second double podium of Beijing 2022, following the gold and bronze won by Max Parrot and Mark McMorris in the men’s snowboard slopestyle.

Early this morning Canada won silver in the men’s 1000m speed skating for Laurent Dubreuil.

Canada now has 24 medals; 4 Gold, 7 Silver and 13 Bronze – good for 11th overall. We’re 3rd in total medals.

The Winter Games will end Sunday. The Closing Ceremony will begin at 8pm.
