The program, which runs from January 2 until January 5, takes place at the Essex Recreation Complex, located at 242 Talbot Street North, in Essex Centre.

The theme for the week, “Holiday Cruise,” will feature an action-packed schedule of adventures as campers use their imaginations to cruise warmer climates around the world. Campers will try creative stations, active games and sports, arts and crafts, and swim every day in the afternoon.

Three camps will be hosted for the following age groups: Junior (ages 4 to 5), Intermediate (ages 6 to 8), and Senior (ages 9 to 12). A new feature of all Town recreation programs, parents may also register siblings in the same camp if they are close in age.

The cost per child is $29 a day, or $100 for the week. Discounts are available when registering multiple children. Financial assistance is also available for families that qualify.

To register, please visit us online at www.essexconnect.ca, or call 519-776-8992. To inquire about financial assistance, contact 519-776-8992.

Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation has heard through one of our local media outlets and is alerting the public of false fundraising/solicitation occurring in the Riverside Drive area. Individual(s) are allegedly going door-to-door, soliciting cash donations for the future new hospital project.

Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation has not and does not intend to ever proceed with door-to- door canvassing.

If you encounter anyone going door-to-door, asking for a cash donation in support of the new hospital project, do not comply and call Windsor Police Services.
