(BlackburnNews.com photo)A volunteer community committee is spearheading the re-opening of the Wingham Town Hall Theatre.
The group hopes to raise $100,000.00 to install fire doors, sprinklers, a projector, retractable screen, and heating and cooling system.
The committee will ask for support from North Huron Council tonight.
The group would dissolve once repairs are complete and the theatre would be run by township staff.
The theatre would not be utilized during township business hours, or council meetings.
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.
