A big shoutout to the everyday heroes who keep our kids safe on their way to and from school. Rain or shine, you're always there with a smile and a helping hand.

This morning, we had the pleasure of visiting a few of our amazing crossing guards to personally thank them for their hard work and deliver a small token of our appreciation.

TULIP GIVEAWAY🌷 | Thank you, Port Colborne! All tulip bulbs have been distributed, and we’re officially sold out.

Thanks to the generosity of residents, we collected food and monetary donations in support of Port Cares while helping add a splash of colour to gardens across the city.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, made a donation, and helped make this initiative such a success. Your support will make a meaningful difference for local residents in need and bring beautiful blooms to Port Colborne next spring.

REMINDER ⏰ | The deadline to review or change your school support designation for the 2026 Municipal and School Board Election is Monday, June 1, 2026.

🏫 Whether you rent or own your home, your property is linked to a school board – even if you do not have children attending school. Residents have the option to choose which school board they wish to support, which also determines which school board trustee election they are eligible to vote in.

School support options include:
• English-Public
• English-Separate (Catholic)
• French-Public
• French-Separate (Catholic)
• Protestant-Separate (Penetanguishene only)

If no selection is made, support is automatically directed to the English-Public school board.

Reviewing and updating your designation helps ensure you are placed on the correct voters list for the October 26, 2026 Municipal and School Board Election.

🔗 Visit MPAC’s School Support page to review or update your information before June 1 ⬇️ https://www.mpac.ca/en/MakingChangesUpdates/SchoolSupportDesignation
