🌫️🔥 🚨Community Check-In: Poor Air Quality Due to Wildfire Smoke🚨🔥 🌫️

With wildfire smoke affecting our area and air quality reduced, we encourage everyone to check in on elderly neighbours, family members, friends, and anyone who may be more vulnerable, including those with heart💗 or lung 🫁 conditions, disabilities, young children, or anyone living alone.

A quick phone call, text, or knock on the door can make a world of difference.

If you or someone you know is in urgent need of assistance, whether it's picking up groceries, medications, or another essential errand so they can safely stay indoors, please don't hesitate to reach out to Lakeshore Helping Lakeshore. While we can't guarantee every request can be met, we will do our very best to connect you with a volunteer or find a way to help. 🤝

Please remember:
🍃 Stay indoors as much as possible if the smoke is heavy.
🏠 Keep windows and doors closed when you can.
💧 Stay hydrated.
❤️ Look out for one another.

This is what community is all about. Stay safe, everyone. 🫂

🌸💝 THANK YOU, LAKESHORE! 💝🌸

Lakeshore Helping Lakeshore would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support our very first annual Spring Craft & Gift Show!

Because of the incredible support from our community, amazing vendors, shoppers, volunteers, and supporters, the event was a wonderful success. Together, we raised $418.80 along with a collection of non-perishable food items for the Community Support Centre of Essex County Food Bank. 🥫❤️

We are so grateful to every vendor who shared their creativity, talent, and passion, and to every person who stopped by to shop, donate, and celebrate with us. Your kindness and community spirit made this event truly special.

This was more than just a craft show — it was a reminder of what our community can accomplish when we come together to help one another.

Thank you again for helping us make a difference right here in Lakeshore. We already can’t wait for next year! 🌷✨

Hello Lakeshore! 💚

Our 3rd Annual Earth Day Community Clean-Up was a success! 💪♻️🚮🌎

Together, we collected over 14 bags of garbage from around our community! We’re incredibly proud of our student volunteers and adult volunteers, whose hard work and dedication made such a meaningful impact!

Events like this are a great reminder that small actions add up and that taking care of our shared spaces is everyone’s responsibility. 🫂

Again, HUGE THANK YOU to our amazing sponsors: RONA Sauve's Home Centre Ltd and Windsor Pure & Clean H2O To Go! We couldn't have done it without your support!

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this initiative. Let’s keep the momentum going! 🌱💚

Good morning Lakeshore! 🌞

Looks like we've been blessed with clear skies and sunshine for our 3rd Annual Earth Day Community Clean-Up!

We will be out today from 10am - 2pm with our amazing student volunteers, cleaning up areas around our beautiful community!

If you see our student helpers, be sure to say hello! They are amazing kids! 🫶

We invite the community to do what they can to clean up areas in their locations - SEND US YOUR PHOTOS! - or you're welcome to come out and join us at the Belle River West Beach, The Optimist Park, the Lions Park, and the Belle River District High School area.

"Earth Day isn't a reminder to save the planet. It's a call to remember we are part of it." 💚🌎🚮♻️
