Thank you to all who donated to help those affected by the wildfires

Take care and stay safe

Thank You to our incredibly generous community! ❤️

A heartfelt Thank You to everyone who dropped off donations or purchased items from The Little Shop to support those affected by the wildfires in Northern Ontario.

This morning, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron Board Member Katelyn and her daughter, Dallas, delivered your generous contributions. Together, our community helped fill 4 trailer loads of much needed supplies, which were sent to Petrolia before continuing on to Thunder Bay.

Your kindness, compassion, and willingness to help makes a real difference for families facing difficult times. Thank you for showing the true spirit of community. 💙

Great information from our friends at North Huron Fire department

The Fire Department of North Huron is reminding all residents to take precautions as extreme heat moves into our area. High temperatures and humidity can quickly become dangerous, especially for older adults, young children, those with chronic medical conditions, and outdoor workers.

Please stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, seek out air-conditioned spaces when possible, and check in on family members, friends, and neighbours who may need assistance.

Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.

Hot, dry conditions can also increase the risk of grass and brush fires. Please use extra caution with smoking materials, barbecues, campfires, and any activity that could spark a fire.

Your safety is our priority. By taking a few simple precautions and looking out for one another, we can help everyone stay safe during this heat event.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.
