Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week Nov. 1 to 7
Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer because it is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas that can be deadly. Install certified CO alarms in your home. If your house has a fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage, you must have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area. When you change your clocks this weekend be sure to change your batteries in your smoke and CO detectors.

Town supports Georgina Kinsmen for Sutton Santa Claus Parade
The Georgina Kinsmen, with the support of the Town of Georgina, are excited to announce the Santa Claus Parade will be held in Sutton this year. On Dec. 4, 2021, Santa arrives in Sutton for the annual Santa Claus Parade of Lights. Beginning at 5 p.m. in Jackson’s Point, the parade travels down Dalton Road to High Street, then along High Street ending at the Sutton fairgrounds. Float registration begins Wed. Nov. 3 at 8:30 a.m. Details can be found at georgina.ca/events.
Due to pre-existing road construction on the Queensway South, along with other mitigating factors, the Georgina Kinsmen Club will not be hosting the annual Keswick Santa Claus Parade this year, but are confident the parade will return for 2022.
