(Photo courtesy C-K Hospice)The Chatham-Kent Hospice got a $55,000 boost this week as Entegrus Powerlines named it the charity benefiting from the Electricity Distributor's Association golf tournament.
A different power utility hosts the event each year, with the host getting to designate a cause for support.
Entegrus hosted 144 golfers from across southwestern Ontario.
The Hospice should be complete by the end of the year.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
The annual Canada Day parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, from Wildwood Park to Kenwick Park.
The $7.6 million project, which also involved water and sewer infrastructure improvements, began in 2024.
The Toronto Blue Jays dropped their third in a row Thursday, 6-5 to the visiting Texas Rangers, and the Detroit Tigers suffered a 2-1 loss to Houston.
The week-long celebration starts on Saturday and continues to next Friday.
Environment Canada said Thursday night that severe thunderstorms were moving further east after rain and high winds affected portions of the region.
