West Wawanosh Mutual Insurance commits $25,000 to
the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation campaign
West Wawanosh Mutual
Insurance Company has made a
pledge of $25,000 to the Wing -
ham & District Hospital Founda-
tion's fundraising campaign to
support the major redevelop-
ment of the Hospital.
West Wawanosh Mutual Insur-
ance has been providing farm,
residential, commercial and
automobile insurance products
to its clients from its home in
Dungannon since 1879. Dungan-
non is located in the Township of
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh.
ACW has been a long-time sup-
porter of the Wingham & District
Hospital, including this recent capi-
tal campaign, and the gift from West
Wawanosh further solidifies the
strong neighbourly relationship
between the businesses and resi-
dents of ACW and the Hospital.
In recognition of the donation,
West Wawanosh Mutual Insur-
ance Company will be named as
the sponsor of one of the exam
rooms in the new primary care
clinic being developed in the new
healthcare campus which is set to
open before the end of the year.
"We give our policyholders peace
of mind through insurance and
investing in local healthcare is just
one more way we can help pro-
vide peace of mind to our policy-
holders and the whole commu-
nity," said West Wawanosh Mutual
Insurance CEO Cathie Simpson.
The Wingham & District Hos-
pital is currently undergoing the
first stages of a $17 million
redevelopment.
With less than $6 million of that
cost coming from the Ministry of
Health and Long Term Care, com-
munity contributions, such as the
$25,000 donation from West
Wawanosh Mutual Insurance, can
still make a significant difference
to protecting and promoting high
quality local healthcare.
Any donations made to the
redevelopment project will benefit
the expansion of six key areas,
including the only chemotherapy
clinic in Huron and Bruce Coun-
ties, the upgrading of digital imag-
ing equipment and the creation of
a community healthcare campus.
Anyone interested in contrib-
uting to the project is encour-
aged to contact the WDH Foun-
dation office.

at wdhfoundation.ca.

LUCKNOW NEWS
Lucknow also relies on a number of permanent grocery options

By the time this edition of the
Sentinel comes out, the World
Series should be over and one
of two teams who have been
waiting a long time for their
drought to end will be the 2016
champions.
I personally am cheering for
the Cubs, but from the bad start
they got in the play-offs, I'm not
holding my breath.
The Lucknow Sepoy Ranees
met for lunch recently at the
soon to be closed "Sugar and
Spice" restaurant in Teeswater.
The food and service were
great but it seems the building
has been sold and no one will
have the chance to eat there
again. Too bad, it was a lovely
place to eat. We finished off the
afternoon with a visit to Gay
Lea Foods, where some of us
purchased a few things and
then enjoyed a scenic fall drive
home to Lucknow.
Last week I wrote about the
two new options for the pur-
chase of groceries in town. This
week I'm writing to remind
everyone of the options we've
had in Lucknow for years.
The first being the wonderful
bakery we have in town. Not
only can you buy bread at Arm-
strong's Bakery, they sell all
sorts of baked goodies and
many bulk food items
including flour that is fresher
than any you'll find in any gro-
cery store. They are also now
selling some dairy and other
food items for the convenience
of Lucknow residents.
The second place in town, is
truly a convenience store, it's
Mac's, and they do sell a lot of
things that are essential and,
they are open seven days a
week, and very late into the
night.
Both of these businesses
offer many options to people
who either can't get to Wing -
ham or other towns, or for
those who need something late
in the evening and don't have a
vehicle. Don't forget they're
here all the time and we should
support our local businesses.
It's the time of year for Har-
vest and Christmas bazaars.
This past Saturday, St.
Andrews United Church in Rip-
ley held their annual bazaar.
Coming up this weekend is the
Lucknow United Church
bazaar.
Coming soon will be: the
Ripley Horticultural's Bows &
Boughs Auction on Nov. 18,
Lucknow's Santa Claus Parade
on Nov. 25 and Ripley's Christ-
mas in the Park the same day,
Nov 27.
Sympathies of the commu-
nity to the family of Stuart
Reavie, 73, Lucknow.
