JOY-Full Socks

​“JOY-Full Socks” was launched nine years ago by Leslie Cassidy-Amadio. To date over 20,000 pairs of socks, along with grooming products, were donated and shared among multiple local charities. Due to the Covid pandemic the need is much greater, so we are happy to announce that the charity will be running again this year.

Please bring your donation to the Prince Township Office, at 3042 Second Line West, by November 18th, 2020, (due to the pandemic you will have to call the office staff). If you need additional information, Leslie can be reached at (705) 779-2836.

Keep up-to-date here.

Mailboxes

Winter is fast approaching even if we aren't ready for it. Please check your mailboxes and make sure they are at the standard height to avoid damage from snow removal equipment. Also, ensure that they are reinforced to handle any snow load. Specifications for your mailbox can be found at: CanadaPost
​The area in front of a rural mailbox must be kept clear of snow and ice to ensure uninterrupted delivery of letter and parcels. The city will only be responsible for mailboxes that their equipment physically damages. They will not replace mailboxes damaged by snow load or improper installation.
​Thank you for your co-operation.

Halloween Safety

Trick-or-treating
  • Don’t go trick-or-treating if you are feeling ill, even if symptoms are minor.
  • Choose costumes that allow a non-medical mask to be worn underneath.  Make sure you can see and breath comfortably.
  • Only trick-or-treat with those who live in your household.
  • Carry hand sanitizer and use it after touching touch-points like doorbells or railings.
  • If you can, knock instead of pushing doorbells, or simply yell 'trick-or-treat.'
  • Consider pre-arranged stops/visits to family/friends. 
  • Wait until you're home and have washed your hands before handling or eating candy.
Handing out candy  
  • Don't hand out candy if you are feeling ill, even if symptoms are minor. 
  • Print posters from APH to hang in your window or place on your door to let trick-or-treaters know if you're handing out treats.
  • Wear mask and consider using tongs or a grabber to hand out candy. 
  • Always keep a healthy distance of 2 metres from trick-or-treaters. 
  • Be more outside than inside. If you can, stand outside your door to hand out treats. 
Avoid handling treats:
  • Use prepackaged treats (no homemade treats).
  • Don't leave self-serve bowls or bulk candy.
  • Make candy bundles/bags and space them out on a table or blanket for trick-or-treaters to take.
Get creative!
  • Build a candy slide down your front steps or railing!
  • Build a (safe) catapult!
 Other ways to celebrate
  • Virtual parties - host an online Halloween costume contest!
  • Decorating your home or front yard.
  • Carving or decorating pumpkins with your household, or outside at a safe distance with neighbours.
  • Celebrate with your favourite Halloween movie and host a movie night with your household.
  • Organize a Halloween scavenger hunt in your backyard or home with those in your household.
High risk activities to avoid  
  • Don't go to an indoor haunted house where people may be crowded together and screaming.
  • Don't go on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household.
  • Avoid alcohol or drugs, which can cloud judgement and increase risky behaviours.
  • Skip the parties this year: gatherings, big or small, put people at higher risk of getting COVID-19.
