International Student Drop Forces Cuts

Lambton College in Ontario is cutting staff and services as international student limits continue to hit enrollment hard. The school says student numbers have dropped more than 75 percent since federal rule changes, falling from about 12,600 in ’23 to a projected 2,900 in Sarnia this year. That decline is driving major budget gaps, including a $10.2 million deficit. About 30 percent of staff have been cut, with unions reporting more than 80 lost jobs and fewer class options for students.

Drivers Face Road Closures & Delays

Drivers heading through St. Clair County should plan for delays this week as road crews roll out multiple projects. Officials say several roads in Casco, Emmett, and Riley townships will see full, one-day closures for culvert work, while others like County Line and Gratiot roads will have intermittent lane restrictions. Additional slowdowns are expected from ditching, bridge washing, and ongoing bridge replacement on Frith Road. All work depends on weather, so drivers are urged to allow extra time and follow posted detours.
