Student Shinerama volunteers to brighten up fireworks night

If you’re heading to Windsor’s riverfront June 25 for the big fireworks show, keep your eyes open for some University students with a bright idea.

Volunteers with the campus Shinerama campaign will be out in force, selling glowsticks to raise money for cystic fibrosis research. Coordinator Johnathan Weedmark-King hopes members of the campus community will show their support.

“Our volunteers will be walking through the parks starting after 6 p.m.” he said. “The glowsticks really are a practical accessory after dark.”

The fireworks display, an annual tradition for 54 years, will begin at 10:06 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the show will be postponed until June 26.
