In observance, our flags will be at half mass to honour the lives of children and individuals who suffered due to the effects of residential schools and staff will be dressed in orange.

Also referred to as “Orange Shirt Day,” this day provides all Canadians with an opportunity to recognize, remember and reflect on the tragic history and legacy of residential schools and the continued impacts on Indigenous peoples.

North Middlesex is committed to reconciliation and ensuring that the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools are never forgotten.

One Million Pounds of Plastic 'Recovered' in Bluewater Region

All those yogurt containers, shampoo and detergent bottles being recycled in Midwestern Ontario, are finding new life, thanks to a new partnership between four Huron-Perth businesses.“It’s pretty cool to see everything you put in your blue box in South Huron and southwestern Ontario, stay here, and get put back in the ground,” says Mike Lovie, from Bluewater Pipe in Huron Park.

First, recycling bins from Huron, Perth, Lambton and Middlesex counties end up at Bluewater Recycling Association’s sorting facility in Huron Park. There, they meticulously sort your recyclables, by robot, and by hand. Then they bale and send all the yogurt containers, shampoo and detergent bottles, better known as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to EFS Plastics in Listowel.
