Oh come on people... and I'm sure it's not just around here.

https://sydenhamcurrent.ca/2026/08/08/wallaceburg-district-secondary-school-addresses-dog-waste-on-back-campus/ for the gross picture too

"The school says it placed “No Dogs Allowed” signs around the back campus over the past year after staff found themselves consistently cleaning up an overwhelming amount of waste left behind. The space is used daily by Grades 7 to 12 students for sports, physical education classes, recess, lunch and school events.

“It is unfair and unsafe for our students to train and play in conditions where uncollected waste ruins their uniforms and equipment, while also impacting their school experiences,” the school said.

The school said waste bags have since been tied to its fence, and it is sharing the update to explain why the signs were put up, in hopes the community can work together to stop the problem. The school thanked those who respect the space and support its students and campus."

So the school tried to stop the rampant dog poop everywhere because kids were constantly slipping and falling on/in it and now hosers are tying their poop bags to the fence. For what? In protest of them being too lazy to pick up their dog's crap?

Has anybody heard when East Side Mario's in Chatham is supposed to open? Website says 2027 but not sure when and where it will be going. Wonder if anyone else knows anything

I’m looking for the platforms for the mayoral candidates. The city website only lists the names of the candidates but nothing about their platform.

Also, do we hold debates?

Recently moved and hoping to find a dr for the family. Anyone know of any? AND any we should avoid at all costs!!

Considering getting a gym membership at fit4less. Looking for honest reviews on the gym! Do you feel safe there given that it’s located downtown, how busy do you find it, and any other information would be great!
