With OPP P.C. Mark Kinney ANNUAL COMMUNITY POLICING COMMITTEE’S PROPERTY & BICYCLE AUCTION
This annual event is on Saturday, June 22, 2013 at the rear parking lot of the Huronia West OPP Station at 1000 River Road West in Wasaga Beach. Viewing of the property items starts at 12:00 p.m. and goes until 1:00 p.m. when the auction starts. The auction will continue for 2 hours or until all auction items have been dealt with, we hope that will be by 3:00 p.m. This year we will have a barbeque to feed the hungry appetites of the auction goers all food items are at a reasonable cost and Mr. Steve Green is back again as our auctioneer. At this year's auction we will have over 30 previously loved bicycles; we have Trek, Schwinn, CCM, Kona, Norco and Raleigh to name a few. They are in good condition but need some TLC, like filling the tires with air or fixing a brake cable. And yes we have some bicycles that would challenge even the best bicycle mechanic's skills to make them road worthy again. In addition we have several GPS units including Garmin and Nexton, a dehumidifier, mini flashlights, a couple of IPODs, a Football, brand name backpacks and new socks, not to mention we have a TV to auction off. We also have this year a small quantity of jewelry including necklaces, bracelets and wedding rings. Please note all jewelry has been appraised and will have a starting bid. We may even have some last minute electronics showing up at this year's auction, but no promises, you will have to attend to find out. In total we will have in excess of 100 auction items at this year's auction. All auction proceeds will be shared and used by the Clearview, Springwater and Wasaga Beach Community Policing Committees to run safety and crime prevention initiatives in their communities. Some of these programs include annual bursaries to graduating High School students, Bicycle helmet coupon program for youth, anti-graffiti program for both home and business and all the above Community Policing Committees deploy and maintain Speed Monitoring Signs in our communities to increase road safety for all users. Please come out on Saturday, June 22nd, 2013 between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. and support your local Community Policing Committee in raising money to continue their great work in our communities. Last year's auction made just over $2100 for our Community Policing Committees; let's see if we can pass that number this year!

It was a McHappy Day. Brent Kelly, owner of McDonalds in Collingwood and Wasaga Beach presented a cheque for $10,290 to the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation in support of their New Age of Care Campaign. The money was raised through McHappy Day at both Wasaga Beach and Collingwood locations. "At McDonald's, we're proud to be continuing our long-standing support of local charities," said Kelly. "Following our most recent successful McHappy Day on May 8th, we're thrilled to be providing this cheque for $10,290 to such a worthwhile cause. We would like to thank the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation for their help in making this year's McHappy Day such a huge success, and of course, the amazing support of our customers and volunteers in Collingwood and Wasaga Beach."
