The SD&G Scoop

🚨 Community Alert - Please Read & Share 🚨

We’ve been informed by one of our readers that someone wearing a red vest with “Special Olympics” on it has been going door to door in Cornwall and SDG is asking for donations.

Please note - this is NOT authorized by Special Olympics Cornwall-Alexandria. The organization would never solicit funds door to door.

Police have been notified and are on the lookout. As we get into the giving season, it’s a good reminder to always double-check that any fundraiser is legitimate before donating.

We just wanted to get the word out. Let’s look out for one another and keep our community safe and informed!

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Today, we pause to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey - one that asks us to listen, to learn, and to reflect on how we can each play a part in building understanding and healing.

Here in SD&G, we encourage everyone to take a quiet moment today: read a story by an Indigenous author, attend a local event, or simply wear orange in solidarity. Every small action matters.

To learn more and support the work being done, please visit the Orange Shirt Society:

Let’s walk this path together. 🧡
