Saturday June 13th 2009 is HIKE THE PENINSULA day in the Town of South Bruce Peninsula! This great day out on the Bruce Trail will feature three separate hiking opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Experienced hiking leaders from the Peninsula Bruce Hiking Club and the Sydenham Hiking Club will guide participants through some of the sites and sounds of the world famous Bruce Trail. This event is FREE for everyone!
Then there was the item of the "bus." Many of you may not know that the Town now owns a bus! When did we get into the transportation business? Talk about having the cart before the horse, what I heard on Tuesday evening was the cart was so far ahead of the horse it would take weeks for them to get together.
Council questioned our CAO about the use, cost, etc. of this bus and it was obvious that he was unprepared to answer in detail. In fairness, the bus was acquired through a grant, but there was obviously no concise plan prior to this acquisition as to who was responsible for driving, insurance, maintenance etc.
Perhaps someone could enlighten me on "who holds title to the bus," "who is responsible for insurance," "who will be driving," "what is the purpose of this purchase?"
A bus?! This could be great! We could paint it up, roll it out, hire Ken Kesey to drive it ... man, this could be it for the ultimate tourist trip!
