CKHA Open House tonight in Wallaceburg
The Chatham-Kent Health Alliance is holding a town hall/open house in Wallaceburg tonight. The event is open to the public and will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Canadian Belgian Dutch Club. This will be an opportunity for the community to personally meet the provincially-appointed supervisor, the new CEO and newly hired and appointed vice presidents and medical leadership team. Check out our story here about the open house.

Learn how to grow giant veggies
Join Chatham-Kent Public Library’s Wallaceburg Branch on tonight at 6 pm when Mike DeMars from the Bluewater Growers and Throwers will be presenting how to get started with vegetable gardening. Learn to grow enormous, award-winning vegetables. Bring your questions and learn some tips so that you can grow the garden everyone envies. Registration is not required. Everyone welcome.
At the same time, check out Wallaceburg Branch’s new Seed Library! Now Chatham-Kent residents will be able to “borrow” seeds from four CKPL locations; Chatham, Ridgetown, Tilbury and Wallaceburg branches. CKPL Grows Seed Library will launch March 20 and will offer a variety of vegetable, herb, fruit, and flower seeds at each location.
CKPL Grows Seed Library provides an opportunity for residents of Chatham-Kent to grow healthy gardens, have access to affordable food, and create beautiful spaces in their own backyards and local communities. Chatham-Kent Public Library members can borrow seeds for free, save the seeds they grow, and return some of those seeds back to the library at the end of the growing season.
Chatham-Kent Public Library is currently accepting seed donations of any variety at the locations hosting a Seed Library. Residents are asked to fill out a donation form of the seed name, variety, and information on how to grow.
