(BlackburnNews.com file photo)Minto firefighter Callise Foerter has been awarded the Rick Adamson Award for Volunteerism.
Minto Fire Chief Chris Harrow says the award recognizes the work Callise does with the fire department as well as her involvement in the community.
She is active with the Harriston Agricultural Society and is working with the 2016 International Plowing Match, which will be hosted in Minto.
The award is named in honour of a highly respected Hillsburgh firefighter who died of cancer in 2014.
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.
