Off the couch
Even if Ontario didn’t break the world record, at least the
people of Blyth got off the couch. That’s what they were
saying last week as 56 residents, including Kim Watson,
left, and Kendra Carter, showed up in Blyth at one of six
organized walks in Huron County. Prizes were given out,
including a $50 gift certificate to a local shoe store. The
Huron County Health Unit was one of the driving forces
behind the walk, stressing that obviously getting active is
never a bad decision. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
