Three women were arrested after three accidents within about six hours of each other blamed on St. Patrick’s Day drinking.

A 30 year old woman was charged with impaired driving after her vehicle hit a number of parked cars on Albert Street Friday night. Around 1:30 Saturday morning, there was a two car crash at Cloverdale Road and Gunningsville Bridge in Riverview. A woman in her twenties was charged after that one. Then just before 3:00am, a 37 year old woman was charged with impaired driving after hitting a pedestrian in crosswalk at Church and St. George Streets. Just minor injuries to the pedestrian…the only person hurt in any of the accidents.

RCMP officers and fire fighters will face off in a charity fundraising hockey game Friday to honour a person they consider a hero…Becca Schofield.

Firefighter Christopher Jackson is organzing the game as a fund raiser which he hopes will become an annual event. Jackson told the Times and Transcript the Beccatoldmeto Battle of the Badges Charity Hockey Game will be dedicated to the Riverview teen because of her kindness campaign which has gone viral around the world.

As per Schofield’s wishes, admission to the game will be collected for the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride in September.
