Couple of farmers markets in C-K this weekend.

The Wallaceburg Farmers’ Market is back with upcoming dates: June 7, 21; July 5, 19; August 2, 16, 30; September 13, 27; and October 11 (Thanksgiving). Support local farmers and artisans while enjoying fresh produce, handmade goods, and more.

Ridgetown hosts a Farmers Market Saturday 8-noon. The market is held on Main St. every Saturday until October 11th.

The roundabout at Queen’s Line and Merlin Road will open this morning.

The new roundabout was recommended following safety studies and has been built to accommodate larger vehicles, including transport trucks and farm equipment, consistent with other rural single-lane roundabouts in Ontario. The intersection features a mountable curb and concrete apron on the inside, as well as a mountable curb and paved shoulder at the entries and exits, providing the needed width for oversized vehicles. The total cost for the project was $6 million.

Next spring the landscaping and art installation will begin on the roundabout’s centre island.

The GOJHL has dropped the J and will now be known at the GOHL – Greater Ontario Hockey League.

The league recently announced as the first official development league of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)

The OHL partnership comes with a rebrand, and enhanced player welfare standards — including paramedic-level first responder equipment in every arena.

The GOHL’s Chatham Maroons will play the London Nationals on Sunday at Memorial Arena.

Gregory Drive Public School will host a Giant Rummage Sale Fundraiser this weekend.

On Saturday, at the school (180 Gregory Drive West) from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. stop by to have a look. There will be dozens of tables with hundreds and hundreds of items.  Concessions will be available. Sale will be held in the gymnasium.
