Happy Canada Day!
It is a proud day to be Canadian. Per-
sonally, I am proud to be Canadian
every day. Canada Day gives us all a
reason to stop and think about our won-
derful country.
The Lucknow & District Lions shared
their pride through the Pride Project to
light the spark in the local Grade one stu-
dents. Parks Canada has stepped up and
helped fund the restoration of the Point
Clark Lighthouse which re -opened this
past weekend.
Another heritage project was taken on
by the St. Joseph's Kingsbridge community
with their purchase of the decommis-
sioned church. The committee is working
hard to get the building back into shape to
once again be the hub of their community.
The Lucknow Kinsmen were proud to
open the refurbished Victoria Park to
encourage area residents and visitors to be
active. The new basketball/volleyball/
pickle ball courts are fully accessible and
continuously open to accommodate all.
The community of Lucknow showed their
pride this past weekend, as well, with
another successful Strawberry Summerfest.
Of course, the kickoff event was the Dungan-
non Super Pull the previous weekend. This
has become the largest event of its kind in
Huron County and is internationally known.
Trinity United Church is proud of the
accomplishments of the child they spon-
sored in Hong Kong in the 1980s. They
were surprised and excited to hear from
their child after so many years and are
planning a reception to welcome her and
her family to Canada to meet in person. Be
sure to check the list of names of some of
the Sunday School children who made
such a difference in another's life.
Another proud accomplishment is the
opening of a new laundromat in Lucknow.
Check out the Coin Laundry on Campbell
Street.
The Living Library at LCPS had many pre-
senters proud to share their experiences and
expertise with the students from LCPS, BPS
and RHCS. This is an amazing opportunity
for both presenters and students to interact
up close and personal for meaningful dis-
cussions and a chance to ask questions.
The sponsors and staff of the Lucknow
Sentinel wish all a happy and safe Canada
Day. Show your pride!

Well I certainly hope
everyone in town enjoyed
this year's Strawberry
Summerfest. Although I
wasn't able to attend, it
certainly looked as though
there was something for
everyone from last Thurs-
day right through to Sun-
day. I'm sure that all of
you who were able to
attend some or all of the
events had a good time.
Congratulations to the
Summerfest Committee
for all the great work they
did this year.
I attended the Dobren-
sky family reunion held
this year in Youngstown,
N.Y. We as usual had a
great time playing games,
eating, visiting and catch-
ing up on what everyone
has been doing for the
past year as many of us
only see each other once a
year. I stayed for the week-
end with my cousin Jean
and her husband, and we
had a chance to catch up
properly. Jean and Tom
celebrated their 50th
anniversary recently and I
was one of their
bridesmaids.
Today is Canada Day
and I hope that everyone
has a chance to enjoy our
special national holiday in
a fitting and joyous man-
ner. We have one of the
greatest countries in the
world and we are blessed
to be able to live in such a
great place despite all our
wacky politicians and
their shenanigans. Hope-
fully this next election
we'll get some genuine
and honest people voted
in.
In case you hadn't
noticed, Highway 86 is
undergoing construction
and the detour is a long
and out of the way coun-
try tour if you're headed to
Wingham.

munity to the families of:

Lucknow; Ralph Lubbers,

School's out for the Summer
111 South Bruce
OPP
Students are out on
summer break and the
South Bruce Ontario Pro-
vincial Police (OPP),
would like to see them
enjoy the summer months
safely. We can expect an
increase in the amount of
pedestrian traffic as
scooters, rollerblades,
skateboards and bicycles
take to the streets and
sidewalks.
The South Bruce OPP
is offering the following
tips for a safe and enjoy-
able summer: Slow down
and drive with care,
especially near parks
and recreation centres;
Use crosswalks or inter-
sections to cross streets
safely. Never step out
into traffic between
parked cars; Bicycle hel-
mets are required by law
and reduce the risk of
head injury by 85% when
worn properly; Ensure
that swimmers are
always properly super-
vised; Never leave pets or
children unattended in a
hot car; Follow your chil-
dren online. If you're not
connected with them -
who is?
Parents and care givers
are asked to review safety
rules with their youth.
Summer time may be a
break from learning, but it
can't be a break from
safety.
