_{April 15th is the 105th day of the year. There are 260 days remaining until the end of the year.}

It’s Movie Night at the Capitol Theatre.

Stop by tonight at 7 p.m. to see Rental Family.

As of Sunday you’ll pay less to use the Ambassador Bridge.

As of January 1st of this year, the cost to cross the bridge was $10.00 (US) Starting Monday, that will fall to only $5.50 (US) – if you have a Premier pass. The cash or credit card rates have not changed.

Membership program tolls at the Gordie Howe International Bridge will be $4.35 (US) whenever that opens.

When you tune in to the Tigers or Blue Jays tonight, you might have a tough time identifying your favourite player.

They’ll all be wearing the same number; 42.

That’s in honour of Jackie Robinson. 79 years ago today, in 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play in a regular season Major League baseball game.

Fifty years later, in 1997, the Number 42 was permanently retired throughout all of Major League Baseball. That was Jackie’s number when he was with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

The last guy to wear it was Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera. He retired in 2013, the same year Chadwick Boseman played Jackie in 42.

Speaking of baseball…

One month from today: the Chatham-Kent Barnstormers will play their first home game of 2026.
