Through various forms of fundraising, the Fire Riders’ 11 members raised just under $37,000 for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto – an amount that includes donations from a number of local service clubs and firefighters associations, as well as many private donors. As announced at the event’s opening ceremonies, 4,853 riders raised over $19 million for the centre this year. As far as the future is concerned, Jeff said he would participate in the Ride to Conquer Cancer again in a heartbeat, saying it was something he’ll never forget. “There was an elderly gentleman standing out in the rain all day cheering riders on and there were kids [fighting cancer] thanking us along the route – seeing things like that really strengthened my resolve to finish,” Jeff said. “When you watch any videos about the Ride to Conquer Cancer, they always said ‘it’s not a ride, it’s a life experience’ and it totally is. It’s hard to convey that to people, but it truly is a life-changing experience.” The Huron Bruce NDP nomination is on and it could be a tight and exciting race with two solid nominees running to be the federal candidate for Huron- Bruce in the October election. Gerard Creces hails originally from the Zurich area. He is a journalist and musician and is well versed in the issues that play on the federal, provincial and municipal stages. As a reporter with the Goderich Signal Star and Clinton News Record Gerard developed an even more intimate knowledge of the riding and its people and he is ready to run and “take the power back”. Jan Johnstone has been with the Bluewater District School Board for many years as a trustee, as chair and as the Ontario Public School Board’s Association representative where she was vice-chair of the Western Region. She is a long-time resident of Kincardine and a trained social worker with experience in both Huron and Bruce Counties. Jan also ran as the Huron-Bruce NDP candidate in the 1997 federal and 2014 provincial elections. The Huron Bruce Federal NDP nomination meeting will be held at the MacKay Centre at the corner of Nelson and North Streets in Goderich on Thursday, June 25 at 7 p.m. You can access the hall from Highway 21 at the Nelson Street stoplights or take North Street and drive one block from the Square. All are welcome to attend the nomination meeting. Only members in good standing with the party will receive a ballot and be allowed to vote for the candidate of their choice.
