A woman dedicated to helping children through the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) is stepping down as president. Carole Dufort vacated the position on December 1. Current 2 nd vice-chair David Morrison will assume the role. Dufort has assisted the charity for nearly a decade with everything from helping organize signature events, such as its annual golf tournament, to serving as co-fundraising chair. The former teacher, vice-principal and principal with the UCDSB, said she was extremely proud to be part of a board that goes the “extra mile” to support all students through the work of C4K. “There is something deeply touching about students, staff, parents, and community members coming together to help children in a difficult time,” said Dufort. — supplied photo Historic mural sustains damage

A popular mural depicting an historic Cornwall, downtown, is now in ruins. The painting, which has been located on the wall of a Second Street business for now several years, appears to have melted off, leaving only the bottom portion of it intact. According to the City, water is the culprit, as it got behind the paint and lead to the brick degrading. Although no clear plan is yet established regarding the possibility of repainting the wall, officials pointed towards the future optimistically, claiming that there will be downtown additions next year. — photo Francis Racine
