Residents in Sarnia-Lambton are being urged to step up and help neighbors battling cancer get to treatment. The Canadian Cancer Society says its Wheels of Hope program needs more local volunteer drivers right now. Many patients struggle to make appointments due to health, cost, or lack of transportation. Volunteers can choose flexible schedules, committing just a few weekdays each month, and mileage is reimbursed. Anyone interested can sign up online at volunteercancer.ca or email volunteer@cancer.ca to get involved.

The proposal covered the stretch between 7th and 19th streets and aimed to slow traffic and make the area more walkable. Even though a traffic study showed no major concerns, strong pushback from nearby homeowners and community members ultimately led the city to scrap the plan.

It starts at 11 a.m., where officers, firefighters, EMS crews and tow truck drivers will give visitors a chance to meet first responders and explore emergency vehicles without loud lights or sirens.
