A splash pad could be coming to Walkerton as soon as next spring.
The Walkerton Kinsmen say they have received $70,000 in pledges for the pad. They expect to have raised their $80,000 portion of the funding by the end of 2015.
The Kinsmen have asked council to push the construction of the project at Centennial Park ahead to the Spring of 2016.
The project, which is is expected to cost $160,000, will see the Municipality of Brockton and the Kinsmen split the cost.
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.
