February 25, 2025

February 25th is the 56th day of the year. There are 309 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Chatham-Kent Public Library hosts Movies @ Your Library every Tuesday at the Chatham branch.

Book your spot today to see Past Lives starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.

Movies start at 2pm.

Donors are needed!

There’s a blood donor clinic happening today at the UAW hall on Elm Drive South in Wallaceburg.

No walk-in appointments are available. Book your appointment at Blood.ca, call 1-888-2-DONATE or use the apps.

If you’re unable to donate this week, the next clinic locally will also be at The Portuguese Canadian Club in Chatham on March 4.

Some menu changes are coming to Starbucks.

The coffee giant says around 20 per cent of its food and beverages will be removed from Canadian menus, starting this spring.

Beverages leaving in Canada include several Frappucinos, the Royal English Tea breakfast latte and the white hot chocolate. Starbucks says they are some of the least purchased items, are complex to make, or are too similar to other beverages on the menu.

The company is stressing that changing the menu will help with innovation while lowering wait times and improving consistency and if you order any of the items that are disappearing from the menu, baristas would be able to recommend similar beverages.

The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is hosting a weeklong event called Workforce Week, that will wrap up with a job fair next week.

Throughout the week, there will be in-person and virtual events aimed at providing resources for residents to help find jobs, apprenticeships, or start a new career. There will also be seminars for local businesses on talent attraction.

The weeklong event concludes on March 5, with the Workforce Week Job Fair at the John D. Bradley Convention Centre in Chatham from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This event will host a variety of employers.

All the details on the event can be found here. 

A week to go until Paczki Day!

CKMORNINGS will be live at Maple City Bakery from 6-10 next Tuesday.

Also known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras (french for Fat Tuesday) Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday, Paczki Day is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent and traditionally the final chance to indulge.
