When emergencies happen, Lambton County residents may be reached through several channels with urgent public safety instructions from municipal or other government officials.
Sarnia-Lambton Alerts is a local, subscriber-based notification system, through which local municipalities can issue drinking water, evacuation, shelter-in-place, and other urgent public safety messages. There is no cost to subscribe, and users can select how they wish to be notified (e.g., text message, app, phone call, etc.).
Alert Ready is Canada’s national emergency alerting system and allows federal and provincial agencies to send potentially life-saving alerts, for various hazards, directly to Canadians through television, radio and LTE-connected and compatible wireless devices.
During emergencies, be sure to follow your local municipality online through their official websites and/or social media channels. In addition, tune to local radio stations for emergency information updates.

The Lingering Instant — Mark Stebbins
Opening April 17, 2026
Members Reception: First Friday, May 1 | 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Artist in attendance | Live music, drinks, and light snacks
The Lingering Instant features new paintings by Mark Stebbins that highlight the artist’s dedication to materiality and the handmade. Each surface is carefully built through thousands of individual strokes or small applications of paint, forming images with quiet intensity.
While the works may initially appear mechanically precise, their creation is deeply human. Subtle imperfections reveal the rhythm of the artist’s hand and the time invested in each piece, offering a thoughtful counterpoint to today’s increasingly digital and AI-mediated visual culture.
Originally from Point Edward, Stebbins now lives and works in London, Ontario. His work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally and is held in collections including the Canada Council Art Bank, Museum London, and RBC Royal Bank.
