With the leaves turning and cooler weather settling in, the Uxbridge Splash Pad has officially closed for the season. The town says it hopes residents enjoyed the splash pad this summer and thanks everyone who came out to cool off.

Nathan Pegg from Homestead Orchards spoke with us about the uptick in thefts he’s been noticing on his farm. “Oh it boils me. Thinking you know ‘I can just take whatever I want.’ Even a few extra apples that won’t fit in their bag they pay for on our farm, I get people that fill their pockets, fill their bags. There is a lot of theft here. You know I don’t mind if people go out and test a strawberry to make sure it’s sweet or it’s how they like them. But it’s another thing to go out and graze and have a full meal.” Listen to the full tractor talk interview tomorrow right here, on 105.5 hits fm.

A new Durham Region Transit bus wrap has been released across Durham Region. Created by Indigenous artists from the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, the artwork honours Orange Shirt Day and carries the message that Every Child Matters. The bus wrap was unveiled as part of Durham Region’s annual Truth and Reconciliation Walk, reminding residents to learn, reflect and remember the children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as honour Survivors and their families.
