Sarnias new accessible kayak and canoe launch made a splash with its first user.
Pete Williams boarded the facility in a yellow kayak mere minutes after city officials cut a ribbon Thursday morning signifying the $75,000 projects completion.
Its really, really good, said Williams, who lives within walking distance of the new Centennial Park watercraft launch. Ive been waiting for this to happen for a long time.

Once again small businesses in the Quinte area will be able to take advantage of grants to help them become more accessible.
Grants up to $10,000 are available to improve accessibility barriers within the workplace or community space.
The grants can be used for small scale construction, renovation or retrofit projects or the provision of accessible technologies.

Tiny Township’s public washrooms may soon be getting an upgrade in hygiene measures.
This came Monday after council approved staff’s request to apply for an Enabling Accessibility Fund worth $100,000.
The grant was taken to the township’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, said Sue Walton, clerk and director of legislative services.
