A heat wave is expected over the coming days. High temperatures can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, especially for older adults, young children, people with chronic health conditions, outdoor workers, and those without access to air conditioning.
The Clarence-Rockland Festival is an annual celebration that brings our community together for unforgettable summer fun. Held at Parc Simon, this multi-day event features live entertainment, family-friendly activities, local vendors, and cultural experiences.
