Fall colours explode along Duart Road in East Kent. Just a reminder that our Fall Photo Contest deadline is Nov. 19 at noon.
It took two years, but Pat Lingard finally has a family doctor in Chatham-Kent. The 77-year-old, who has inoperable lung cancer – along with a host of other medical conditions – relocated to Chatham-Kent from Leamington in January 2019. Considering the gravity of the illness, Lingard thought she and her husband Wayne would be able to sign on with a new
