Lambton Shores is wrapping up the first stage of its downtown Forest parkette, turning two former vacant King Street West lots into a new community hub. Crews have restored walls, poured concrete, and set up water lines, with hydro work still underway. Sod is set for spring planting. The next phase will add benches, gardens, and landscaping as part of ongoing downtown revitalization. Once complete, the space will feature seating, trees, and a small stage for performances.

A St. Clair Township man will spend life in prison for killing his father. Twenty-four-year-old Wyatt Stimac was sentenced Thursday for first-degree murder. Judge Donald Teeple called Stimac’s actions “puzzling,” saying he showed no remorse. Prosecutors said Stimac shot his father, Shane, last March after an argument about living at home. The jury took less than 30 minutes to convict him. His sister Avery testified she heard the gunshot and later condemned him in court. Stimac also received two years for felony firearm use.
