New Year's Eve Celebrations altered in some local communities

Some changes to some local New Year's Eve celebrations.

The town of Minto has cancelled outdoor activities planned for tonight, except for the fireworks, which will go at 8 pm.

The City of Owen Sound New Year's Eve Party will not involve swimming, due to a mechanical error that has closed the pool.

There are still plenty of activities for families to enjoy between the hours of 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Activities include skating, playtime in the gym, entertainment by Klash the Clown, a dance zone, cookie decorating, games, crafts, and an area to decorate wooden cars, then race them down the Scouts’ racetrack.

The evening celebrations will conclude with a countdown and massive balloon drop at 6:30 PM

The city of Kitchener has cancelled planned fireworks partly due to high winds.
