Family fun returns to Sarnia as the popular Kids Funfest moves to a brand-new venue at Centennial Park this Saturday. Running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the free community event pairs parents with local youth organizations while offering hands-on entertainment for children. Attendees can explore giant inflatables, climb aboard emergency vehicles at the Touch-a-Truck showcase, and watch live circus acts, magicians, and musicians on the Suncor Agora Stage. With the main parking lot closed for safety, organizers encourage families to walk, ride bikes, or utilize nearby public transit.

Officials marked the start of major interior upgrades at the Blue Water Bridge Plaza as crews broke ground on the second phase of the expansion. Work will rebuild the south side, shift toll operations, add a new U.S. Customs inspection building, and move the duty-free store at a cost of three hundred million dollars. Nearly all activity stays inside the annex, so drivers should notice little disruption except when the local access ramp relocates westward. Construction runs through twenty thirty-one.

Deputies investigated a three-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon at Bray and Willard Roads in Arbela Township after a 17-year-old Gladwin girl stopped at the sign but failed to yield.

All three drivers were injured and a juvenile passenger in the SUV suffered serious injuries requiring medical transport. Officials arrested the teen on suspicion of operating while intoxicated and causing serious injury.

Port Huron officially broke ground on the seventeen-and-a-half million dollar Lincoln Avenue Lofts project, a brand-new affordable housing development set to bring forty modern homes to the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Erie Street. Led by Community Housing Network and the Algonac Housing Commission, the project features thirty-eight apartments in a four-story building alongside two duplex units, with half of all residences dedicated to helping people rebuild after experiencing housing loss. After several years of planning and securing federal tax credits, construction is now officially moving forward to welcome first residents late next year.
