CORNWALL | Local paramedics will be sporting a little extra colour on their uni- forms this month for a good cause. Mem- bers of Cornwall SDG Emergency Medical Services have signed on to participate in the Dress for the Cause initiative to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. Throughout the month of October, which serves as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, participating EMS employees will be wear- ing pink epaulettes on the shoulder straps of their uniforms to raise awareness of the fight against breast cancer. The fundraiser idea was brought forward by Paramedic Tristan Layer, who saw it be- ing done by paramedics in nearby Leeds and Grenville and decided to expand it to Cornwall and SDG. The colourful additions to the uniforms are quickly becoming a hot topic for discussion for paramedics while

Cornwall SDG EMS provides around the clock emergency service to residents in Cornwall and the United Counties of Stor- mont, Dundas and Glengarry. “Our paramedics are out in the commu-

“It looks like it’s getting a good response,” said Layer.“I was happy to be able to get this fundraiser going here and I’m more than happy to continue it on in future years.”
Advance voting locations in Cornwall
CORNWALL | Voting for the 2014 munici- pal election officially kicked off on Octo- ber 9, as a series of advance voting loca- tions opened in the City. From October 9 to Saturday, October 11, voters were able to cast their ballots in advance at three convenient locations, the Cornwall Square, Eastcourt Mall or the Benson cen- tre. A second round of advance voting will take place October 14, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 21 at City Hall, during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On October 11, a series of advance polls will be set up in a number of apart- ment complexes and seniors’ buildings throughout Cornwall for residents of those properties. Electors can vote prior to Elec- tion Day on October 27 for any reason.
“Voters have not been assigned a vot- ing location,” said City Clerk Helen Finn. “Instead, voters can vote at the location of their choice, be it on the advance voting days or on election day. Electors can vote near their home, near their work or simply when they are out shopping or watching a game at the Benson centre. This is made possible by the electronic voters’ list used to find a voter’s name and strike it off the list no matter where you vote in the City. It makes voting quick and easy.” Residents can confirm they are on the vot- ers’ list by visiting www.cornwall.ca/elec- tion, and using the Internet Voter Lookup Tool. Additions and corrections to the vot- ers’ list can also be made at advance polls and on election day at all voting locations.
