The Western Junior C Hockey League changed the playoff schedule three times yesterday.

The final changes are not reflected in this week's print edition of The Kincardine Independent. Here is the complete, final schedule for the series between the Carruthers Nicol Junior C Bulldogs and the Wingham Ironmen. You can also find a final midget schedule for the next round, as their ice times were affected by the Junior C change. Therefore, times and dates in this week's print edition are incorrect as well.

Kincardine’s family health team is looking for help from the municipality to get its offices up and running after delays pushed the operational start date back by six months.

 

Gerry Glover, executive director of the family health team (FHT), attended Kincardine council’s meeting last Wednesday to ask the municipality to sign a five-year lease agreement for the team to occupy the basement of the Kincardine Community Medical Clinic. Glover also requested, on behalf of the FHT, a short-term, interest-free loan for $100,000 to complete renovations to the basement to accommodate the team. The loan would be repaid over a five-year period.
