March 7, 2022

March 7th is the 66th day of the year. There are 299 days remaining until the end of the year.

After a very mild weekend in Chatham-Kent, there’s a freezing rain warning for the region this morning.

Environment Canada is calling for patchy freezing rain to begin early this morning. The freezing rain is expected to transition to rain then eventually to snow, possibly mixed with freezing drizzle, this afternoon.

Construction is set to start back up on the Third Street Bridge in Chatham this morning. That will result in some more road closures.

Thames Street/St. Clair Street will be closed between Dover Street/Emma Street and Kent Street starting this morning at 7am.

The municipality is anticipating that the bridge project will now be completed at the end of June 2022.

There’s a blood donor clinic tomorrow at the Chatham-Kent YMCA.

No walk-in appointments are available, although day of appointments do become available.

Book your appointment at Blood.ca, call 1-888-2-DONATE or use the apps.

The clinic is open 1-7pm.

Experts are saying gas prices are expected to hold for Monday and Tuesday, and if there are any changes, expect to see them on Wednesday.

The previous record high at the pumps in Ontario was $1.61 per litre before this week.

The price of gasoline has already topped $2 a litre in British Columbia.

Roll Up the Rim is back at Tim Hortons.

The good ole days of actually physically rolling up your rim is long gone, replaced with a virtual roll up on the Tim’s app.

Roll Up the Rim has been around for 35 years now, giving the chance to win cars, getaways, electronics, gift cards, Tims coffee and donuts, and much more.

Roll Up is here until April 3rd.
