A local boy is excited to get a hair cut from the Community Cuts Program in Cambridge.

Summer break is almost half way over and kids and their parents are already preparing for back-to-school. 

The Preston Heights Community Group is partnering with the Silverheights Neighbourhood Association, Greenway Chaplin Community Centre and local barbershops to offer free haircuts to youths in the city. 

"We are very excited to announce that our Community Cuts program is back," wrote the Preston Community Group in a Facebook post. 

Registration runs from July 24 to August 11 and will be free for youth aged 5-18.

Local salons and barbershops within the Preston Heights, Silverheights and Greenway neighbourhoods are all taking part in the celebration of the upcoming school year. 

Spots are limited and a registration needs to be completed to take advantage of the offer.
