Congratulations Oakridge Optimists Arena!
The Oakridge Optimists Arena is getting a major makeover.
Each year, the Lowe’s grant program works with Hockey Canada to select two Canadian neighbourhood rinks in need of renovation. This year, London and Windsor are recipients of the Community Rink Renovation Fund. Today, Lowe’s handed over a $50,000 cheque for painting, better bench seating, and a new trophy case. Mayor Joe Fontana and former NHL goalie and team Canada champion Curtis Joseph were on hand for celebrations.
Waverly Oldies hit the big time!
The Waverley Oldies are hitting the small screen! The Waverley seniors residents’ (on Grand Avenue) video to the Carly Rae Jepsen hit Call Me Maybe will be featured on America’s Funniest Home Videos tonight. They submitted the video about a month ago when they heard America’s Funniest Home Videos would be having a special ‘Call Me Maybe’ episode. There were thousands of applicants and videos but they picked theirs to be among those on the show.
They’re not too sure which part is going to be shown or how much will air but they’re all really excited. The residents have made nine videos to date, and will start filming another one on Monday.
Producer Sarah Urquhart says the videos have done wonders for the residents. “Everyone is just so much more social and interactive with each other. It’s done nothing but heighten everybody up. Whether they were in it or not, everyone still feels like they’re part of it.”
