SUPIE program returns to Windsor's Mitchell Park
Mitchell Park in the area of Giles Boulevard and Bruce Avenue in Windsor, Ont. (Courtesy of Google Street View) A park in South Central Windsor will again be supervised over the summer following the continued success of a city-run program. The SUPIE (supervisor) Program returns for the third year at Mitchell Park, 399 Giles Boulevard West. The goal of the program is to enhance park safety and engage children in enriching recreational activities. Ward 3 councillor Renaldo Agostino said the program began in 2023 following discussions with nearby residents who were frustrated with ongoing crime in the park. 'During that meeting all the residents came out, everybody was upset, and everybody was angry, and everybody was telling me what was going on at the park, and I just sat there and I thought about when I was a kid, and when I was a kid there was park supervisors,' Agostino said. 'So, I brought up the idea of the SUPIE program and everyone there was struggling between security and activities.' The program was launched with both security and SUPIES, however security was dropped after the first year because there was only one incident requiring their assistance. In partnership with the Downtown Windsor Community Collaborative, Agostino said SUPIES will be on hand seven days a week, working with youth from 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. until Aug. 30. 'They're just working kids doing arts and crafts, playing sports, soccer, basketball, there's all kinds of different activities that they do, so it's great, it's a great program,' he said. Agostino said when the program began, it came at a cost of approximately $30,000. 'Now we've got it down to, from what I understand, the last numbers I saw, just over $12,000 that now makes it a possibility to branch out into other parks, and other parts of the city,' Agostino said. The city said over 250 youth have participated in SUPIE since introduced in 2023, with stakeholder feedback showing that the program contributed to an increase in park utilization, community engagement, and overall park satisfaction. The city points to data from partners that indicates the program has been successful in the goal of reducing crime in the park. -With files from AM800's The Shift with guest host Kristen Siapas.

Downed cell tower has left many Thorhild County residents without service for weeks
Many residents in Thorhild County, Alta., have been without cellphone service for three weeks, after thieves downed a 106-metre Telus tower. Businesses are scrambling, while families worry about their inability to reach each other or access help during an emergency. Monique Janice Chartrand, who owns a roofing company, sends her children to stay with their father in the hamlet of Thorhild when she is working out of town. "Just in case something ever happened — like if one of the kids fell down the stairs, or something like that, and you need to call 911," Chartrand told CBC News Friday. She recalled how much she relied on her mobile phone during the wildfire evacuation of Fort McMurray, Alta., where she used to live. Residents in parts of Thorhild County, about 85 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, were forced to flee wildfire in May. "Just imagine trying to get a hold of your loved ones and you're in a panic trying to get all your stuff out of your house," Chartrand said. Just after 9 a.m. MT on June 14, RCMP say officers responded to a call about the downed cell tower on Range Road 233. All of its copper wiring was stolen. Investigators believe the vandalism occurred around 5 a.m. that day, when the roughly 150 farmers served by the tower lost service, police say. Telus customers between Clyde, Alta., and Thorhild County have had wireless services disrupted, a company spokesperson told CBC News via email. They did not specify how many customers have been impacted. "As a temporary solution, our teams have adjusted nearby antennas to provide as much coverage as possible to the community, though there may be some customers who experience intermittent or no service," the spokesperson said. "We are working quickly to build a new tower, which we anticipate will be completed in September." Telus encourages anyone with information about the incident to contact police, they said. The incident is the second such act of vandalism to affect a Telus tower north of Edmonton in less than three months, the company spokesperson said. RCMP confirmed to CBC News that, in late March, vandals destroyed another tower near Bruderheim, Alta., a town roughly 45 kilometres northeast of Edmonton and 50 kilometres south of Thorhild County. Although, police said nothing was stolen. Police said a cut guy wire — a tensioned cable used to stabilize freestanding structures — caused the tower, located off of Highway 15, to collapse. "We are deeply concerned about the increasing frequency of these acts of vandalism," the Telus spokesperson said.
