We are humbled to share that Bright Smiles (Christine Fairbairn) has been nominated by the Chatham-Kent Chamber of Commerce in the category of “Young Business Individual of the Year” for their Business Excellence Awards.
The purpose of this event is to foster positive relationships between children and law enforcement officers. Kids between the ages of 5-12 from across the Municipality are selected by Chatham-Kent Children’s Services, Big Brothers & Big Sisters and Victim Services. Each child is given a Walmart gift card to purchase gifts for their immediate family.The children are assigned their own officer as their ‘personal shopping assistant’ who escort them around the store to assist in selecting appropriate gifts for each family member. After shopping, the children are transported to the Bradley Convention Centre where they enjoy breakfast and other fun Christmas activities while elves wrapped their presents.
The goal of ‘Shop with a Cop’ is to break down the barriers between young people and law enforcement, with the intent of developing a better and more trusting relationship with those in uniform.

Bright Smiles along with the Dental Hygienist and Dental Assistants from the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit toured the Chatham Water Treatment Plant. We learned about how our water is treated and how fluoride is added to our drinking water.
Did you know…for $1.85 you can fill 2000 500mL bottles of water?
Thank you to all of the staff who took the time to explain the plant and processes to us. You do great work!

A huge thank you to MPP Monte McNaughton for meeting with Beth from the Chatham-Kent Community Health Centre, Leeanne from the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit and Christine from Bright Smiles Community Dental Hygiene earlier today.
We discussed the need for dental programs for low income adults and seniors. We submitted dozens of petitions to Monte in support of this cause.
