Pembroke Street West Pavement Remediation 

Effective Wednesday July 25, 2018 and continuing until Friday July 27, 2018 from approximately 7:00am to 12:00 noon, significant traffic delays can be expected on Pembroke Street West, between Wilfred Street and Reynolds Avenue, as a result of road repairs. 

It is anticipated that eastbound vehicles will be detoured around the construction zone while westbound traffic will be maintained through the construction zone; but significant traffic delays can be expected. The travelling public is encouraged to use alternate routes during this time. 

The City of Pembroke asks that drivers respect the posted construction signage at all times. 

You are also reminded that the businesses within the construction and detour zones remain open for business and the many business owners would be happy to serve you. The City of Pembroke regrets any inconveniences caused to residents and businesses. 

We thank you for your patience as the City of Pembroke continues to improve our infrastructure.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Annual Terry Fox Giant Used Book Sale. Conceived initially as a secondary fundraiser for the Windsor Terry Fox Run, with a goal of collecting 1,000 gently used books and raising $1,000, the book sale was gifted an empty store at Windsor Crossing and the first book sale was a hit. With over 20,000 books donated, and over $13,000 raised that first year, book sale organizer Marian Drouillard knew she had a winner! 

The sale was offered vacant units at Windsor Crossing for another 3 years, and the fundraiser continued to be a success for the Windsor Terry Fox Run until Windsor’s last Run in 2011; in 2011 Marian Drouillard organized the last Windsor Terry Fox Run after she joined the Tecumseh Terry Fox Run Committee but kept the book sale in Windsor in the late spring of 2012.   In 2013, the book sale joined forces with the Tecumseh Terry Fox Run, and the book sale found homes in various vacant stores in 2 different Tecumseh plazas. Between the St. Clair Shores Shopping Centre and the St. Clair Beach Shopping Plaza, the book sale continued to flourish and after year 9 in 2017, a total of $129,200 was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation for Cancer Research!   

As the Annual Terry Fox Giant Used Book Sale prepares for year 10, organizer Marian Drouillard has a lofty goal in mind; she hopes this year to raise a combined 10-year total of $150,000. An empty store was offered by the Valente Group at the St. Clair Shores Shopping Plaza and with just over 7000 sq. ft, the store has lots of room to put on a great 10th year anniversary book sale. Housed in the original vacant Dollarama store (they moved next door) in the plaza along Amy Croft just east of Manning Road, the unit will also be headquarters to the Tecumseh Terry Fox Run, were it will feature TF Run merchandise for the local Run and offer support for participants wishing to learn more about Canadian icon Terry Fox.
