5 Things You Need To Know For December 10, 2025

December 10th is the 344th day of the year. There are 21 days remaining until the end of the year.

Environment Canada put out a Special Weather Statement, and we could see around 10 centimetres of snow before it’s all said and done. Things should ease up later on, switching over to some light flurries or even a bit of rain.

If you’re heading out, roads could get messy. Give yourself some extra time this morning — or if you can, maybe just stay off the roads until it calms down.

It’s Movie Night at the Capitol.

Come by the Chatham Capitol Theatre tonight to see Christmas Vacation at 7 on the big screen. Doors open at 6:30.

Every one is welcome, $7 cash at the door and concessions are available.

Toy hamper packing continues tonight with the Chatham Goodfellows.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to help out at the former Peavey Mart on St. Clair Street. Volunteers will be packing toys tonight and tomorrow from 6 to 8 p.m.

Have you tried the Christmas Crasher yet??

The latest collaboration between Sons of Kent and CKMORNINGS: a 4.8% Citrus Wheat Ale.

Try it in cans or on tap at the brewery, while supplies last. A portion of the proceeds supports the Chatham Goodfellows No Child Without a Christmas campaign.

A new law went into effect in Australia today that bans all social media for kids 15 and under. They’re the first country in the world to do it.

It includes age restrictions on all the major platforms, like Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and even YouTube. Over a million Facebook and Instagram accounts disappeared overnight. Companies face steep fines if they don’t deactivate kids’ accounts. And they have to take “reasonable steps” to keep them from setting up new ones.

The law passed last November, so they’ve had a year to figure it out. A poll found 77% of Australians support the idea.

Other countries are paying close attention to see how it goes. Australia’s prime minister supports the law, and called it “one of the biggest social and cultural changes” they’ve ever faced.
