Lambton Public Health is warning Sarnia-Lambton residents about more dangerous unregulated drugs in the area. The advisory says two new substances detected in Ontario may increase the risk of opioid overdoses. Officials note that standard doses of naloxone may not be enough to reverse effects. Residents are urged not to use drugs alone or mix with alcohol, know overdose signs, and carry naloxone. Free kits are available at LPH, local pharmacies, and partner health agencies. In an overdose, call 911 immediately and administer naloxone if available.

St. Clair County’s high-profile child murder case against Amanda Maison slowed Friday as Judge Cynthia Lane only ruled on a few of the 11 defense motions. Lane barred jurors from hearing about the similar 2016 child-murder conviction of Maison’s brother, saying it would unfairly sway a jury. She also blocked an ex-girlfriend’s claim that co-defendant Maurice Houle once hit the child. Most motions, including venue change and CPS history, were delayed until a Nov. 7th hearing. Maison faces life if convicted.
