The Flag of Ukraine Flying in Oxford County Towns

Woodstock continues to collect donations for the people of Ukraine, Ingersoll has put out a statement and the Rotary Clock tower in Tillsonburg is now illuminating blue and yellow.

TILLSONBURG - The Town of Tillsonburg has changed the lighting at the Rotary Clock Tower to show their support for Ukraine.
