THUMBS UP – to Dana’s Goldsmithing for their very generous donation of  $10,000 to the Port Perry Hospital Foundation, from the sales of their 2024 Christmas ornament. To date, an incredible amount of $130,500 has been raised over the past 24 years, which helps our medical teams deliver high-quality care.

THUMBS UP – and huge congratulations to Joe Goris, on his retirement of 25 years from Township of Scugog Fire Department. All the best Joe!

THUMBS UP – to Scugog’s Jonathan van Bilsen, on receiving the King Charles lll Coronation Medal of Honour on Tuesday January 28, presented by Todd McCarthy MPP. This award recognizes the valuable contributions to our country! Wow, congratulations.

THUMBS UP – when I had a bad tumble on Queen street beside Wagg Funeral Home recently, two young gentlemen were just about to turn right onto Perry street when they saw me fall, they stopped and came and helped me up and retrieved my glasses, which at this point if they had continued driving, would have ran over them. They must have been in their early 20’s. Thank you to the parents who raised them to be so kind and caring to a senior.

THUMBS DOWN  – truly fed up with all the negativity that starts to flow on the Port Perry Bulletin. Someone asks a general question and it can get out of hand very quickly.  THUMBS UP to the people who monitor it and take it down quickly.

THUMBS UP – to all the store owners who have special services come and plow the front of their stores and parking spaces after a snowfall. This really helps us with the challenge of walking during snowy days.
