Stumpy's Tree Servi 519-482-39 Friday, November 25 was a celebration of the 11th annual lighting of the lights by the Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary. Over the past several weeks, Auxiliary volunteers and friends have been selling tickets so lights can be lit on a tree in the clinic waiting room as a memory to or as a gift for someone special in their life. This year there were over 330 lights able to be lit on the tree. Pictured here, Elizabeth Thorpe -Hearn and Jeff Hearn sing carols at the event.

A Hill Street Christmas Every Christmas Eve on Hill Street in Clinton, neighbours welcome people to their decked -out display Justine Alkema Clinton News Record This is the 24th year that Hill Street will decorate their road for Santa's landing in Clinton. And from 7-8, at the end of the street will sit Mr. and Mrs. Claus themselves. Everyyear on Christmas Eve, all the neighbours on the street pitch in to assemble around 350 lights on sand bags lined down the road meant to be a runway for Santa. The neighbors also meet for a get together in the garage of Bill and Susan Meyers. "It has always been a really close neighbourhood," said Susan. The festivities are set up usu- ally around 6:30 or 7. The Clauses will be there for around one hour, and after that, they have work to do, delivering toys to all the kids in Clinton. The street usually sees around 100 visitors walking and 200 cars go by. For some, visiting the street is a tradition that has been passed down for generations; people who use to go as kids now bring their kids to experience the unique display and see Santa. nwmo NUCLEAR WASTE MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION SOCIETE DE GESTION DES DECHETS NUCLEAIRES NWMO Learn More Centre The Municipality of Central Huron is one of nine communities involved in a process of learning about Adaptive Phased Management (APM), Canada's plan for the safe, long-term management of used nuclear fuel.
