Wondering whether to take a DNA test or how DNA can help your family history research? The Kent Branch of The Ontario Genealogical Society will host an introductory workshop to explore:

• The types of DNA tests available (Autosomal, Y DNA and Mitochondrial DNA) • What they can tell you • The testing companies • How to interpret your results • How to use DNA testing to further your genealogy research.

We will discuss how to use shared matches and targeted testing to develop testing strategies to support your family research and potentially, break down brick walls. Bring your curiosity and questions as you add DNA to your genealogy toolbox.

Public Notices/Announcements - Windsor/Leamington - March Break - Students Ride for a Loonie

Transit Windsor is offering all elementary, secondary, and post-secondary students a price break again this year. 

Students will pay just one dollar during March Break (March 11 to March 17), instead of the regular cash fare of $3.00. This applies to all city buses but excludes tunnel bus and special event services. Students must show a valid student card when paying their fare.  

Transit Windsor is working to increase public awareness on the benefits of taking public transit:

·         A single bus can eliminate up to 50 single occupancy vehicles, reducing pollution and road congestion.

·         Transit riders can enjoy a healthier lifestyle, particularly if they are walking or cycling to their stop.

·         Riding public transit is less stressful. Rather than driving in traffic and spending time looking for parking, passengers can relax and listen to music, or read a book. 

It’s hoped that educating our youth and the greater public to the many benefits of public transit we will encourage more residents to choose Transit Windsor as their mode of transportation.

For more information on Transit Windsor, visit the transit pages on the City of Windsor website: citywindsor.ca, or call 311.

On the Downtown Chatham History Walk, there will be stories about arson, haunted buildings, 200 years of floods on the Thames River, the Black Mecca, shipbuilding, the opera house, famous criminals and crimes, and more. The stories will be told while you are looking at the buildings and places where they happened. 

To join the Walk, meet under the Centennial Clock, corner of King Street West & Fifth Street, just before 2 p.m. It's free and it will happen rain or shine.

The tour will include stories of buildings, streets, and customs that have disappeared. There are photos of them on theveranda.ca/presents, if you’d like to have a look. If you have a mobile device with you on the walk, you will be able to see the pictures of what they were like years ago as they are being talked about.
