A fortunate misfortune this morning on Highway 401 near Kingston after a multi-vehicle collision involving transports, passenger vehicles, and a livestock trailer. No one was injured in the crash, which led only to a lane closure, and some road rash for the cows that had been in the trailer. Our lead item spells out what happened and pending consequences.
Elsewhere on this beauty of an autumn day, our newsrooms have been publishing items on OHL players, a football rivalry community fundraiser, space for students to reflect on Canada's relationships with Indigenous peoples, a limited reopening of the Integrated Care Hub in Kingston, and an expansion of the mission at the Grace Inn in Belleville. The sun should be shining all weekend across the region and we hope you're able to enjoy it as you go about your days. |

Panthers' QB Lewis throws for six TDs in Charity Bowl victory in Cornwall
Oh, what a night, at the Charity Bowl.
It was a memorable one for the now eight-time defending champion St. Joseph’s Panthers, and especially for Grade 11 quarterback Matt Lewis. Lewis threw six touchdown passes and ran in another major, as the Panthers won the under-the-lights clash 49-20 over the Holy Trinity Falcons on Wednesday at Joe St. Denis Field.
“Yeah, I probably won’t sleep much tonight,” Lewis said in the middle of the hoopla as players, students and family members celebrated and took photos in the end zone near the giant scoreboard just after the conclusion of the annual football clash between Catholic high schools in Cornwall, funds raised this year in support of the Children’s Treatment Centre. |

A space for reconciliation at St. Lawrence College
Joining education and reconciliation, St. Lawrence College on Thursday opened a new Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Legacy Space at its Brockville campus.
The new space, located in the campus library, is meant to prompt reflection and discussion about Canada’s relationship with its Indigenous peoples, the legacy of residential schools, and truth and reconciliation.
“This Legacy Space is here for the students, for the faculty, for the workers, for people to be able to be in a safe space, to talk about reconciliation,” Holly Brant, an Indigenous counsellor at the college, told the crowd assembled by the Brockville campus’s Marianne van Silfhout Gallery Thursday afternoon. |
