LEE GRIFFI
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
A total of four recent drug busts have made Woodstock, Oxford County and other southern Ontario streets a bit safer. Arrests were made after a joint investigation with several police forces along with separate investigations by the Oxford OPP and Woodstock City Police. Joint police investigation leads to seizure of cocaine and methamphetamine worth nearly $300,000 Seven people are facing 18 Criminal Code
and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act charges after police executed search warrants in southwestern Ontario. The investigation was dubbed ‘Project Napoli’ and included uniformed officers from nine police forces along with six specialized teams from the OPP including organized crime, bike enforcement and the emergency response team.

Woodstock and Oxford County team up to create potential homelessness service centre LEE GRIFFI Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
No one knows exactly what it is, but Oxford County may get a homelessness service centre within the next few years. “Therefore be it resolved that Council receive the letter from the City of Woodstock and that County staff return with a report on how the BFF (Building Fast-
er Fund) funding can be utilized for the development of a Homelessness Service Centre with a focus on transitioning people out of homelessness within the County of Oxford,” was the motion passed unanimously at a recent meeting. The City of Woodstock was given just under $2 million by the province for exceeding its 2023 home approvals target. The goal was 403 and 475 were approved.
