Sarnia-Lambton farmers have a chance to showcase their daily lives in a new museum exhibit. The Lambton Heritage Museum near Grand Bend is calling on residents to submit photos of today’s agriculture, from modern equipment and livestock care to harvest scenes and hardworking people on the land. Curators say they have plenty of old farming pictures but need current ones to complete the upcoming Agricultural Hall display. Submissions are open online through January 31st, with selected images featured permanently.

In Sanilac County, local mental health workers have stepped up to help kids in need. Through their “Casual for a Cause” program, employees at Sanilac County Community Mental Health donate a few dollars to dress casually on certain Fridays. This year, they raised over a thousand dollars and handed the check to Sheriff Paul Rich. The money will support the Sheriff’s Shop with a Hero event, where deputies and first responders take area children holiday shopping each December, making the season brighter for families right here.

Locals can join the walk, collect pledges, or donate to support neighbors in need.

Port Huron’s voter-approved plan to sell its scenic riverfront city hall at 100 McMorran Boulevard has quietly expired at the end of ’25 without a single deal. Back in ’23, locals strongly supported the idea by a two-to-one margin, hoping to turn the aging building into mixed-use development like shops and housing while keeping public access to the St. Clair River walk. City Manager James Freed explained that no qualified buyer stepped up, and finding an affordable spot to move city offices proved impossible amid high costs and few suitable buildings.
