Odyssey making progress

Despite a rough start due to inclement weather, the historic C150 Global Odyssey is making progress.
The team has made it through Europe and ventured into Russia. Along the way, they’ve visited some historic sites and connected with supporters and well wishers from all walks of life.
The crew left a wreath at a war memorial in France; stopped in Latvia and met with people in Poland. They visited Prague and posed with a statue of Lenin.
Kingscross resident Steven Dengler, his father Bob helicopter ace Rob “Dugal” MacDuff are flying the Canadian-made Bell 429 helicopter over 38,000 kilometres in just over one month. The crew is visiting some 14 countries in all.
It’s the world’s first Canadian around-the-world helicopter flight, and the first-ever father-son global circumnavigation by any light aircraft.
C150GO is a registered Canadian not-for-profit organization, supporting both the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation and True Patriot Love Foundation. To learn more about the C150 Global Odyssey, please visit www.c150go.ca

King Township Food Bank faces unprecedented demand, urges community support

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
