Bruce Peninsula Classic Car Run to support Grey Bruce Crime Stoppers

The Bruce Peninsula Classic Car Run will support the Grey Bruce Crime Stoppers this year.

In a release on July 22nd, the Classic Car Run committee say they have chosen Grey Bruce Crime Stoppers as their charity of choice this year, noting that charities all over the world have been heavily impacted by COVID-19. The event will be hosted by the Sauble Beach Sunset Cruisers on Sunday, August 9th with a shotgun start at 1 pm.

The event will launch from at least 4 locations, including the Sauble Beach Community Centre, Wiarton Keppel Airport, Port Elgin's Plex Centre and the Lions Head Arena. A classic car includes an antique, collector car, modified street rods, or any vehicle whose owner has a particular passion.

"The event is expected to take each vehicle about three hours to complete," says Sauble Beach event organizer Morley Lymburner. "It should create a steady flow of well spaced out vehicles for folks to view. Having a 'shotgun start' means each vehicle will begin and end at the particular starting point they came from."

"This has been a particularly challenging year for folks all over the country," adds Dave Middleton of Kincardine. "Hardest hit have been our elderly and those courageous people who care for them. We would like this run to be a tribute to them and all emergency services personnel. When you see these vehicles encourage them on when they honk their horns in appreciation."

Anyone wishing to donate to Grey Bruce Crime Stoppers can do so at https://www.crimestop-gb.org.
