The Salvation Army Kettle campaign is winding down.

The goal is $550,000 for the year, and with a week to go, about 64% (approx. $350,000) of that has been raised. The Red Kettle Campaign is the Salvation Army’s largest fundraiser to help finance the many services and programs offered to individuals and families in need throughout the year in Chatham-Kent.

Please make a donation, kettles are equipped to take debit and credit cards.

There are still a couple of volunteer shifts open. Call the Chatham-Kent Salvation Army at 519-809-1173 or 519-809-8375 or check out the Facebook page for info.

Kettles will be out until December 24th at 2 p.m.

Mother Nature plans on giving us a little Winter weather for the last few days of Fall.

Cloudy skies, with some flurries and a high today of just 2C. Some accumulation is expected.

Pretty much the same thing for the rest of the work week. Fall officially arrives early on Saturday morning, and we’ll have a high of -5C for the day.
