June 20, 2025

One person has been sent to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a two-car Eastbound collision on Highway 417, paralyzing traffic late-Thursday morning and stretching into the start of the Afternoon rush-hour.

Plus, as the Dragon Boat Festival kicks into high-gear this evening, organizers are cleaning up a mess from Thursday’s messy weather.
