Every October, the CIBC Run for the Cure has united Canadians as a force-for-life in the face of breast cancer. This year will be no exception. We are as excited as ever for this year’s Run and committed to bringing everyone together for a meaningful and inspirational Run Day on October 4. 

The health of Canadians is our priority and we are actively monitoring the Public Health Agency of Canada’s recommendations regarding the pandemic, including those on physical distancing. We will share an update about this year’s event by the end of July.

The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) is pleased to announce that its Farmers Market will open on Saturday May 30 at 8am. Celebrating its fifth season on Pelissier Street and Maiden Lane, the Farmers Market is home to over 40 produce, food and artisanal vendors. The Market is a rain or shine event that runs in the heart of the city every Saturday through to October 31, from 8am-1pm.

In light of COVID-19, the Downtown Windsor Farmers Market is working closely with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit and Farmers Market Ontario to ensure that social distancing measures and safety protocols are in place when the market opens.

Market Manager, Steve Green, who works in the healthcare sector, is especially cognizant of the need to implement full social distancing measures and a phased approach. Some of the measures will include:

Phase 1:

  • Limited to food vendors providing farm produce and products until such time as the Province opens non-food related businesses
  • Physical distancing measures at entry and exit points and between vendor booths, vendors and visitors
  • Division of site and one-way traffic flow in each direction
  • Hand-wash stations
  • Two operators per booth – one to handle produce/product and the other to handle payments
  • Complying with provincial orders on the number of customers accessing the site at any given time
  • Non-touch lined waste disposal receptacles

“Farmers Markets are deemed an essential service,” said Steve Green, Market Manager. “Vendors will only be selling farm-to-table produce and products and, until further notice, there will be no entertainment, Kids Korner, Chef Demos and piazza. In addition, we will be advocating a “shop – don’t stop” policy.”

Public Notices/Announcements - Windsor/Leamington - Emergency Preparedness Week - May 3-9

Submitted by rscussolin-0 on
1588478400 1588564740

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is a federal initiative that promotes emergency preparedness across Canada, and this year it runs from May 3-9.

In light of the current pandemic and the very real threat of flooding in areas of Windsor’s east end, this is a good time to remind and encourage all residents to stay informed by signing up for the City of Windsor’s new public alerting system, Windsor Alerts.

During a major crisis such as COVID-19 and severe weather events such as flooding, City of Windsor officials will send event updates, warnings and instructions directly to you on any of your electronic devices. Non-residents working in Windsor are also encouraged to sign up using their work address.

Sign up at www.windsoralerts.ca or call 311.

Knowing our community’s unique risks, being prepared with an emergency plan (that includes Windsor Alerts) and having an emergency kit ready will help to ensure you and your family are prepared. Windsor’s Emergency Preparedness Guide is available online for assistance. We also remind everyone to check your emergency kits and replace any items that may be expiring, such as food or medication.

Learn more about Windsor Alerts, and also stay informed by following @WindsorFire1 and @CityWindsorON on Twitter for ongoing updates throughout the year.

Community Event - Peterborough/Lindsay - FREE ST. JOHN FIRST-AID AWARENESS ON-LINE COURSE

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
1588352400 1588363200

LIMITED-TIME OFFER: UNTIL MAY 31st, COMPLETE A FREE FIRST-AID AWARENESS ON-LINE COURSE, FROM ST. JOHN AMBULANCE, A LOCAL, LIFE-SAVING CHARITY:

An innovative, web-based delivery method for First-Aid, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) theory and evaluation to refresh, or introduce, participants to the knowledge, and skills, to confidently handle basic emergency situations until medical help arrives. This is not a certification, or a recertification, course, but it may be used as a training aid to help refresh, if you have previously taken a First-Aid certification course, or to introduce yourself to some basic First-Aid knowledge. For information, and/or to register for this on-line class, visit https://ont.sjatraining.ca.

 

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE OFFERING ON-LINE, CERTIFIED COURSES:

While the face-to-face first-aid training provided by St. John Ambulance has been put on hold for the time being, it is an ideal time for employers, and individuals, to take advantage of on-line learning opportunities for personal, and professional, development. St. John Ambulance offers 28 on-line training programmes, including Infection Control, WHMIS, Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG), and many more. These certified courses can be completed completely--100%--on-line. For information, and pricing, visit https://ont.sjatraining.ca.

 

BLENDED STANDARD FIRST-AID TRAINING:

The WSIB, and the Ministry of Labour, require employers to have an employee on duty at all times in each work area with a valid First-Aid certificate. St. John Ambulance offers a Standard First-Aid Blended on-line learning option, which allows students to complete the first day of this required training on-line, only requiring half the time--one day--in class. The beauty of this Blended course is that it ensures that you, and your employees, are away from the workplace for only one day, rather than the usual two.

In response to the COVID-19 work interruptions, St. John Ambulance is allowing students 90 days from the completion of the on-line portion, to complete their in-class requirements. We are encouraging individuals to use this time to work through the on-line training and register into one of our future in-class training dates. For more information, pricing, and/or to register for a class, please visit https://sja.ca, or write sjapeterborough@bellnet.ca, or call 705-745-0331.

Public Notices/Announcements - Windsor/Leamington - Leamington Temporary Suspends Summer Transit Route

Submitted by rscussolin-0 on
1588305600 1588391940

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Municipality of Leamington has suspended its Erie Summer Transit Route until further notice.

The Erie Summer Transit Route was initiated in 2016 as a tourism route operating on weekends during the spring/summer months to move people back and forth from Leamington’s uptown to the waterfront.

The transit route was slated to begin operation on the Friday before Victoria Day; however, with the halt of the tourism industry due to Ontario Government COVID-19 restrictions, the route has been suspended indefinitely.

Leamington Transit services within the urban area of Leamington will continue regular operations until further notice.
