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.
