Concerned with liability, CH Council ends victory rides By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Central Huron sports teams that win important championships will no longer be given the honour of riding atop a municipal fire truck as a reward. In a formal report on the subject of victory rides, Central Huron Fire Chief Dave Renner requested direction from council on the controversial topic, which, in Central Huron, has been in limbo for a number of years. At council's Feb. 1 meeting, Renner said that the issue was Last discussed in 2013, before he was made fire chief. No formal decision was made at the time — council received information about the potential legal liability associated with such rides, but kept the status quo. Correspondence from Donnelly and Murphy, the municipality's law firm, detailed the liability being taken on by the municipality. One suggestion was perhaps a waiver form that would waive all municipal liability. Renner suggested that there could be a number of different options, one of which is that players could ride in their parents cars or trucks while receiving an escort from the fire department, which is the option council eventually decided to approve. Councillor Dan Colquhoun said that as a veteran of a number of fire truck rides associated with hockey successes, he didn't have it in his heart to vote them out. Council passed the recommen- dation.
