Sophia Lambier, 5, enjoys a splashing good time in her personal paddleboat at the C-K Youth Festival in Tecumseh Park on Saturday. The perfect weather – not too hot and no rain – had families coming out in droves to the annual event. The festival, which ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Tecumseh Park, was sponsored by the Club of Chatham and the Municipality of Chatham-Kent Recreation Services. Tecumseh Park came alive with an inflatable playground featuring obstacle courses, bouncy castles, face painting, and many other activities. PJ Masks characters Catboy, Owelette and Gecko also made an appearance. Families will also had the chance to learn about summer programs offered in Chatham-Kent.

The Air Cadets can be many things for many people. And that diversity was on full display at 294 Chatham Kinsmen Squadron’s 74th annual Ceremonial Review Saturday. Two sixth-year cadets received special opportunities, and each couldn’t be happier. Warrant Officer 1st Class Teresa Reaume will head to England this summer as part of an exchange program, while WO 2nd Class Austin Ellwood will spend his summer working to get his pilot’s licence. For Ellwood, flying is his dream and the reason he joined the Air Cadets. “I was told I could get my pilot’s licence, and here I am,” he said. Ellwood said he could become a pilot before he becomes a driver. “If all goes according to plan, I’ll have my pilot’s licence in August. I haven’t written my G1 (driver’s licence test) yet.” Reaume joined the Air Cadets because her two older brothers went through the program. Continued on page 2
