‘A rewarding experience': Volunteers take part in annual Day of Caring
Volunteers took part in the United Way Elgin Middlesex's 24th annual Day of Caring on June 19, 2025. (Lauren Stallone/CTV News London) Hundreds of volunteers from local businesses joined together for the 24th annual 'Day of Caring' event taking place across London, Elgin County, and Middlesex County. The event, hosted by United Way Elgin Middlesex, aims at providing volunteers deeper insight into important work being done in the community. 'It's an opportunity for workplaces and corporations to come together and go out to united way funded partners and roll up their sleeves and do a little bit of hard work,' said Kelly Ziegner, president and CEO of United Way Elgin Middlesex. Volunteers were sent out to 23 different agencies and participated in activities such as 'garden cleanup' and 'hosting community barbeques.' Organizers said participating in the day is a 'great opportunity' for volunteers to gain a deeper insight into the work being done by United Way's Funded Programs. 'It's great for our workplaces and corporations that are involved because their employees get to work together on something a little different than their desk jobs,' said Ziegner. Jordan Moat with Libro Credit Union, one of the organizations that sponsored and participated in the event, said he enjoys 'sharing such a rewarding experience' with his staff. 'It's a feel-good moment, right?' said Moat. 'They enjoy rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty and feel connected to the community.' One of the projects included in the day was 'Type Diabeat-it' a non-profit organization focused on ensuring Canadians with diabetes have access to quality produce and increase their consumption of vegetables. 'This is Harvest Haven, this is one of our many projects,' said Gonzalo Gomez-Daza, operations manager for Type Diabeat-it. 'It's a one-and-a-half-acre lot, here we grow food that goes back to the community for free.' The non-profit said they were thankful to have so many volunteers come out and show their support. 'Being able to bring all these volunteers here means that lots of work, probably about a couple months worth of work will be done in about a day,' said Gomez-Daza

Tamarack West golf course in East Brunswick reopens after renovations
The newly renovated West Course at Tamarack Golf Course in East Brunswick, a Middlesex County facility, has opened to the public. The renovations by Indigo Sports, a Troon company and funded through the Middlesex County Open Space Trust Fund, offer golfers brand new fairways, improved drainage, new tee boxes, new USGA spec greens with 100% bent grass putting surfaces, bunkers with up-to-date liners and sand, new golf carts and cart paths with added curbs near tee boxes and greens. The East and West Courses were designed by golf course designer Mark Mungeam for maximum playability by players of all levels. 'With all the upgrades to Tamarack Golf Course over the past few years, our vision to make it a premier golf destination in this region will become a reality,' stated Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios. 'By investing in the quality of life of our residents, our entire community benefits, not only from an exciting recreational activity, but we're also attracting new visitors and revenue to the county.' 'Getting outdoors and enjoying our vast green spaces is the key to a happy and healthy life,' added Middlesex County Commissioner Charles E. Tomaro, chair of the Infrastructure Committee, adding the course offers golf experiences at accessible rates. Jeff Bebbino, Troon regional director of operations, said the renovated West Course will bring new players from all over the region to play on the upgraded course. More: Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster responds to health violations 'I am very excited about the upgrades made to Tamarack West. The renovated course will be fun for all golfers, with enough strategic options and challenges to captivate the best players and beginners,' stated Mungeam. 'Tee expansions allow the course to be played at any length from 4,900 to 7,000 yards. Though the corridors are the same as the original course, each hole has been completely rebuilt, and the nines have been reversed. The gently rolling land through woods and streams provides a delightful setting," Mungeam added. Tamarack Golf Course will incorporate other enhancements in the future and currently, there are upgrades to the façade and signs to improve exterior aesthetics.
