Leamington Firefighters Association working along side the amazing staff a Wendy's in Leamington had a successful boot drive, and Wendy's grand reopening sending proceeds to Hospice of Leamington. #Community Strong!

Thanks to everyone who attended this event and made it success.

Ran into Mike Schlater at the movie theatre today at the mall and he gave us free pizza coupons! He explained about his story and it got me intrigued. I came home and did some of my own research and cannot believe how amazing of a human being he is. He has given so much to charity and is truly an inspiration! Just wanted to say a big thank you for being so down to earth and generous!

I would like to take a moment to thank the staff at Kelseys and their customers. On Wednesday evening my step-dad choked on his food. My mom tried to give him the heimlich manouver, and then 2 men came over to help. He passed out and wasnt breathing. There was a nurse there who did cpr until emts arrived. The staff handled everthing beautifully, and a huge thank you to them. Also to everyone else who helped, a huge thank you as well. My mom didnt get names as she was so upset. There was also a gentleman who came and asked for my step-dads name, and said they would pray for him. Thank you as well, the prayers helped. My step-dads condition is serious, but stable. At moments like this, all the small acts of kindness make such a huge difference, and my mom and our family are so grateful for all the help received from strangers. If anyone who was there that night sees this, know that you made a difficult time a little easier, and from the bottom of our hearts THANK-YOU!!!!

To the dump truck driver that prevented the ignorant few from cutting people off on EC row today around 4pm good on you, sir! Some people will never learn, but it's hard to argue with a dump truck lol.

This past Father's Day, I was given the opportunity to observe the quick and caring actions of one of the community's heroes. There was a three car accident at Tecumseh Rd and Central Avenue which appeared to be quite serious. During the initial seconds of the collision, a young man in a red Dodge Ram pickup pulled up to the scene and blocked off the area with his truck. I learned he was a volunteer firefighter from Essex. His quick actions and caring attitude very quickly eased the fears of the two young children inside the car. He was quick to check everyone over to ensure everyone was ok and then came back to the young children (toddlers) and again checked to ensure they were ok. He talked to them and even got the little girl to laugh. It was heart warming that this young gentlemen who had his own family in his truck stopped to help others in need. As Windsor Fire arrived to the scene, he provided them with information on all involved and as fast as he pulled up to the accident he vanished. I never got a chance to say thank you to him for all that he and his fellow emergency workers do. So I want to give a public shout out to the Firefighter with the red Dodge pickup (nice truck by the way :) )from the Essex Fire Department for his quick and caring actions. We are blessed to have people like you serving in our communities. God Bless You and Keep You Safe!

Ladies in Leamington be careful! I was in Leamington's Shoppers today looking for a graduation card when I felt my dress continuously ruffle. I looked around for the source and discovered a man scooped down at my feet with his phone in hand and his camera on. He was taking pictures up my dress! I yelled to him and he took off. The workers and Manager were helpful. We viewed the cameras to catch an image but unfortunately it wasn't good enough. Yes the police were notified also. I am writing on here only to encourage women, even young girls, to be cautious, careful and alert if they are wearing a dress. Be careful!

Today my 3 year old had a day surgery at met hospital. She was scared & uncomfortable with the whole situation. I was truly amazed by ever single nurse that we met today. We were greeted with smiles, pinwheels, stickers, dinosaurs and anything else that would make her happy. They all took the time to make sure her experience was as pleasant as possible and that Stella was well taken care of. Great job to all of you. Thank you for everything you do & the pride you take in your job.

Firestone and Motor City Chrysler you both went above and beyond to help me today. Firestone came and checked my car when it decided to die and start smoking guiding me with all the steps to get it to Motor City. Motor City went above and beyond to help me get a loaner till my van can be fixed and the loaner happens to be a Jeep that my daughter loves. What a perfect way to bring her to her grad tonight.

Thanks to Mark, Hussain at FireStone and the amazing ladies at Motor City for easing my stress today
