Fall food drives continue in the area. Algonquin students are heading out Wednesday from 5:30 to 8pm, to collect non-perishable food donations in part of the city.

Last week, Widdifield students collected 2,000 pounds of food for the North Bay Food Bank, with West Ferris students collecting 7,000 pounds.

In Sturgeon Falls, Franco Cite students are holding a food drive Wednesday too, from 4pm to 9pm.

They will then form a symbolic human food chain to L’Eglise Sacre-Coeur on Friday.
