RESCHEDULED….

Chatham-Kent Public Health is hosting a pop up COVID-19 vaccination clinic today.

If you’re looking to get vaccinated, Pfizer and Moderna are available today at the Salvation Army Church (Orangewood Blvd, Chatham) between 9-3pm.

You can walk in or book your appointment at GetYourShotCK.ca.

There is a blood donor clinic in Wallaceburg at the UAW Hall tomorrow from 2-7pm.

No walk-in appointments are available, you must book an appointment at Blood.ca, call 1-888-2-DONATE or use the apps.

Canadian Blood Services has recently reported a huge drop in donors, if you are able to donate, please book an appointment today.

As of Saturday morning 12:01am face masks are no longer mandatory on Ride CK vehicles.

The municipality still recommends the use of masks when in vehicles and while waiting at bus stops, particularly for individuals at higher risk of severe illness and those who have not received all recommended doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Ride CK operators will still wear masks when securing mobility devices. Vehicle operators on specialized transit services will also continue to wear masks until further notice.

Effective June 11, 2022 at 12:01am masks will no longer be required for riders while on Ride CK vehicles. Please read full statement here: https://t.co/R94bXvbQKB pic.twitter.com/lVfjM8IfEO

Speaking of buses, the Ride CK Beach Bus is no longer in operation. It was removed from the budget in 2019. The Beach Bus would get riders to Erieau and Mitchell’s Bay over the weekends in the Summer.

In September, electric vehicle owners will pay less to cross at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.

The tunnel wants to support all of the new initiatives in the region.

The tunnel will offer a25 cent discount. Regular price to cross for non-commercial vehicles from Windsor to Detroit is CDN$6.50 or US$5.

The Stanley Cup Final is set.

The 2 time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning will play the Colorado Avalanche.

Game 1 will be in Denver on Wednesday. Every game will be on Sportsnet and CBC.
Wednesday, June 15: 8pm Tampa Bay at Colorado
Saturday, June 18: 8pm Tampa Bay at Colorado
Monday, June 20: 8pm Colorado at Tampa Bay
Wednesday, June 22: 8pm Colorado at Tampa Bay
*Friday, June 24: 8pm Tampa Bay at Colorado
*Sunday, June 26: 8pm Colorado at Tampa Bay
*Tuesday, June 28: 8pm Tampa Bay at Colorado
*if necessary

How’s this for a random “stat”: Lightning vs Avalanche is the first Stanley Cup Final to feature two teams that don’t end in the letter “S”. It’s just the second time it has ever happened in the four major sports (football, baseball, basketball and hockey) Oklahoma Thunder vs the Miami Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals.
