June 6th is the 157th day of the year. There are 208 days remaining until the end of the year.

It’s bridge washing week in Chatham-Kent.

Bridges across the municipality will be washed this week, causing slow downs and possible detours.

Here’s the schedule for the week:

On Thursday, the Lord Selkirk Bridge in Wallaceburg will be fully closed from 7am-6pm for bridge washing. There will be no through access when the bridge is closed for cleaning.

There’s a Chatham-Kent Public Health‘s Catch Up Clinic tomorrow in Wallaceburg.

If your student needs to catch up with their routine school immunizations Wallaceburg District High School is hosting a clinic 2:30-7pm.

The final immunization clinic will be Thursday at the WISH Centre from 2:30-7.

The latest collaboration between Justin Bieber and Tim Hortons debuts today.

They’re bringing back the Timbiebs flavours of Timbits and a new BiebsBrew cold brew french vanilla drink.

The drink will be available nationwide, along with the return of all three Timbiebs flavours – Chocolate White Fudge, Sour Cream Chocolate Chip, and Birthday Cake Waffle.

Tims is also selling a limited-edition stainless steel Biebs Brew tumbler with a reusable straw and bringing back the Timbiebs merch, including the toque and tote bag that saw unbelievably high demand and sold for sky-high resale prices.

Canadian Heritage revealed the lineup last week for the first in-person Canada Day celebration in Ottawa in three years.

The celebrations will be held at LeBreton Flats Park on July 1st, rather than the usual location on Parliament Hill because of construction.

Chantal Kreviazuk, Johnny Reid, Neon Dreams and Walk Off the Earth are just a couple of the performers booked.

More information can be found by visiting Canada Day – Canada.ca.

Instagram is launching an Amber Alert system to share notices of missing children.

This will be active in more than two-dozen countries, including Canada, over the coming weeks. The update will mean that when law enforcement agencies activate an Amber Alert, those within the designated search area will receive the notice in their Instagram feeds. Meta will determine who should receive an alert by the city a user has listed in their profile, their Internet Protocol or IP address, and location services if it is turned on.

Amber Alerts include details about a child such as a photo, description and location of the abduction.

Facebook, which is also a part of Meta, has shared Amber Alerts on its platform since 2015.
