The two devices were deployed throughout the two municipalities of the Bruce Peninsula over the summer months. On Highway 6, to BPDS Outers Program the devices were set up over 4 individual weekends capturing northbound traffic. The data, such as speeds and amount of vehicles, was recorded and analyzed showing that there is an ongoing problem with driver’s behaviours when it comes to excessive speeding. Over the 4 weekends that the SpeedSpy devices were deployed 354 stunt driving speeds were recorded. “A significant amount of work was done over the summer but clearly there is more work to do. Those drivers that travel on Highway 6, at excessive and dangerous speeds, need to recognize that their actions directly negatively affect others also using the highway. Through our partnerships with community stakeholders we resolve to keep Highway 6 safe. Ontario Provincial Police will continue to enforce the laws of the road, raise awareness for safe driving and remain committed to public safety.” said Interim Staff Sergeant Paul Richardson.

Submitted by Noreen Steinacher for Nancy McAfee, Dog Park Committee Steamship Manasoo Lost 90 Years On October 14, 2018 the new off leash dog park in Tobermory was officially opened by ribbon cutting dignitaries Mayor Milt McIver and MPP Bill Walker milling among the many dogs and their owners out to celebrate the new space. Ago Located Off Griffith Island Kathryn Forbes played her bagpipes (thanks Katie), there was a pet parade, relay races and best tricks up for prizes. On the serious side, the Committee would like to thank Nikk LaFontaine (RVT) for fielding questions about canine health, Alison from Peninsula Pet Supplies for being there with a variety of pet product samples, the special face painting artist, and Kaylin McAfee, the junior photographer on site. Since the opening, many local residents have had a good chance to visit the dog park during the cool fall days and introduce their dogs to this well designed and constructed recreation space. We have Ivan Smith and Hugh Campbell to thank for the construction work during the hot summer, and the many donors and Municipality who made it possible. Many people have commented favourably about the generous size and the treed areas, which seem in keeping with our landscape. We are reminded that the park opening is only the beginning of community and visitor use of the dog park. The posted rules, common sense and good dog owner communication need to be observed so everyone stays safe and enjoys their experience.
