We asked the community to help us Stuff the Bus, and the community responded to our call. Koats for Kids 2026 is officially underway!

On Saturday, we collected 482 winter items during Stuff the Bus at The Market at Western Fair District, including winter coats, along with snow pants, boots, hats, mittens, scarves and other winter essentials to help keep kids warm.

A special thank you to Western Fair District, Kiwanis Club of Forest City-London, our volunteers, and everyone who donated and helped make the day a success.

This is just the beginning. Let’s keep the momentum going and help keep London’s kids warm this winter!

Moments from Mo Bolden Top 20 Invitational Basketball Showcase 2026.

Last month, the top 20 female and male high-school basketball players of the area gathered in one court. This Next Level Sports platform gave emerging athletes the opportunity to showcase their talents, compete with each-other, and be noticed by recruiters from across the province.

The energy was high, thanks to Saidat and DJ KZ. The atmosphere was electric! It was an exceptional exhibition of our emerging basketball talents.

Thanks to Nothers the Award Store, DDCP, Z&J Gas Tech, and SPM Benefits for sponsoring the event.

See you next year with more emerging talents!
