The 2nd Annual First Responder Appreciation Day is scheduled for Saturday July 13 from 11am to 1pm at 2825 Hwy 6 in Lion’s Head.
Many rescues happen on the Bruce Peninsula, especially during tourist season, which involve the OPP marine unit, Bruce Peninsula National Park Wardens, Bruce Peninsula Firefighters, Tobermory Coast Guard, air ambulance, the Neyaashiinigmiing Police, OPP Emergency Response team members, Auxiliary unit members, and helicopter. Peninsula Pet Supplies is teaming up with Badge of Life Canada to create an opportunity for the public to thank a First Responder.
