The Chatham Maroons annual breast cancer awareness night is Sunday.

The Maroons host the LaSalle Vipers at 7 p.m. at Chatham Memorial Arena. Chatham will wear their pink jerseys and partner with the Breast Buddies dragon boat team to raise funds.

The Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy campaign begins today.

Every year, from the last Friday of October to November 11, tens of millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

The 2024 Digital Poppy will once again be presented through MyPoppy.ca. You can dedicate a Digital Poppy and share it on your social media channels.

The annual campaign runs until Remembrance Day, with money raised by each legion branch helping veterans and their families in those communities.

Cloudy and cool to start the day off today according to Environment Canada.

If we’re going to see a shower, it’ll roll through by lunchtime. Sunshine for the weekend with a high of 15C. A warm front early in the work week should see the highs get up to about 24C on Tuesday.

An early look at the Halloween forecast shows a chance of rain showers, but no thunder. Still unseasonably warm, with a high of 24C Thursday afternoon.
