LONDON, ONT. Neighbours surrounding an overcrowded school in the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) are upset with a plan to create a school bus access road next to their backyards. The Oxford Park Community Association (OPCA) says the plan threatens neighbours, traffic and even what could be one of the tallest vintage trees of its type in Ontario. OPCA members say they were not consulted about the road plan in advance. It would run from Eagle Heights Public School on Oxford Street through the schoolyard to Upper Avenue. Member Sandra Miller says her group only discovered details when they noted someone measuring the site.
SARNIA, ONT. Frustrated big-city home buyers may want to look to the west to Sarnia-Lambton for a deal and more choice. The region known for its chemical plants, but also its shoreline and access to the U.S., is a bit of an oasis in real estate. Granted, just like everywhere else, prices here are rising, and listings remain limited. But, the situation is vastly improved when compared to most Ontario centres. Here, the average home is selling for about $430,000. That is a big saving for say a Londoner looking to move, according to Rob Longo. He is the president of the Sarnia and District Real Estate Board. “Usually if you’re making the move from London and Middlesex to here, you can find a comparable home, on average, about $150,000 less.”
LONDON, ONT. Around 8 p.m. Saturday evening, witnesses say a car with a flat tire pulled into a home across the street on Admiral Drive. Police came and surrounded the vehicle and asked him nicely to get out, but he wouldn t, said witness, Jeff Huessner. According to Huessner, the police then smashed the driver side window. It was scary, but I m glad no one got hurt out here. The incident began on Dickens Avenue as Allysha Couch and Danielle Koot were in their backyard.
Witnesses Danielle Koot and Allysha Couch (Sean Irvine / CTV News) We heard somebody come flying down our street and we heard a big crash, so we came running out and the car had crashed into our neighbours front yard and into their porch.

LONDON, ONT. It is the story of two men who have set an example for all of us finding it hard to be kind in tough times. Their positive actions started after a brief moment of misfortune, which ultimately brought them together: a missing wallet full of cash. The story begins with Amir Fadal leaving a Tim Hortons location (Southdale and White Oak Road) on Monday evening. All seem well as he hopped in his car and returned home for the night. The next morning, at the same restaurant, David (Dave) Halverson stopped in the lot when he noticed something on the ground.
