(Photo courtesy of morgueFile)Central Huron council has approved a motion to hire a consultant to design a new skateboard park behind the pool in Clinton.
Mayor Jim Ginn says council is specifically looking for a concrete park rather than the current wood park.
Ginn says the wood park requires a lot of maintenance and eventually starts to fall apart.
Ginn adds he's not sure about a timeline for construction.
He notes there are pads in the ground now but he's not sure it can be done this 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.
