The wind storm on Sunday night caused problems throughout Southern Ontario. Pictured above is a downed tree on Queen Street North in Lakefield. The owner was lucky the tree just missed the roof of the house.

Lakefield Extendicare decorated their front lawn with handmade poppies for November 11, 2020. The staff spent some time with the residents to make the poppies out of coffee filters and placed them all around the outside lawn near the parking lot.

The First Lakefield Scout Group paraded from the United church to the Lakefield Cenotaph on November 11. While at the Cenotaph they sang O Canada, said their Cub and Beaver promises, read “In Flanders Field”, placed their stones, laid the wreath which the Legion had kindly left at the cenotaph for us, listened to our Bugler play the lament and observed a minute silence.

Sarah Bletsoe presented the Lakefield Village Lions with $1000 donation for their Toy Drive that operates in conjunction with the Salvation Army Toy Drive. Sarah’s daughter Keira Bletsoe and her friends also decided they would like to help. They went door to door in their neighbourhood, collecting toys and cash donations. Keira and her friends collected so many toys, they filled a SUV in addition to $365 to purchase more toys.
