Port Huron Police have donated a patrol cruiser to kick off a new public safety program at the St. Clair County Technical Education Center. Starting this fall at Woodrow Wilson Elementary near the city’s Central Fire Station, the program will give high school juniors and seniors hands-on experience in law enforcement, firefighting, emergency response, and dispatch. The cruiser will serve as a “classroom on wheels,” teaching students vehicle inspection, communication systems, and law enforcement technology as they prepare for future public safety careers.

Lambton County’s latest numbers show homelessness in Sarnia-Lambton remains a growing crisis, despite ongoing affordable housing projects. The county reported 284 people without stable homes in July, with chronic homelessness staying high at around 200. Shelters are stretched near capacity. While new housing projects on Confederation Street, Maxwell Park Place, and Kathleen Avenue are in the works, delays mean key targets from the county’s plan have been missed. County leaders say without more funding, the daily struggle for hundreds of residents will continue.
