A developer is proposing a major mixed-use project on the former Holmes Foundry site in Point Edward, just south of Highway 402 and near Sarnia’s Norm Perry Park. The plan includes residential units, a hotel, parks, and commercial spaces, potentially doubling the village’s population. A virtual meeting on Nov. 19th will allow residents to learn about the proposal, ask questions, and hear about plans for infrastructure upgrades. The project could move forward after an environmental assessment is completed.

McKenzie Health System in Sandusky is now offering Modified Barium Swallow Studies or MBSS, a diagnostic test that evaluates swallowing function, right at their local facility. This service is a win for patients who previously had to travel far for this test. MBSS uses x-rays and a safe contrast material to check for swallowing issues, common after strokes, head injuries, or certain diseases. The new addition is part of McKenzie’s ongoing effort to expand care options. Patients can now schedule this test through their primary care provider.
