Finally this is great to hear! My wife and I have lived here for 7 years and use the boardwalk throughout all 4 seasons and we’re continually annoyed by the stunts that are done down on Cove road . Burn outs, donuts , speeding etc . I have called the OPP on occasion but they never seem to be able to find the culprits. If they just stationed an officer down on the Cove road and numerous parking areas the problem would be far less. This hooliganism in our town has to stop! If the officers strategically located themselves I’m sure they could make a large dent in this huge problem . I was a Paramedic and worked in the 911 system for 15 years in Huron, Perth and Waterloo counties and know all about devastating results from this sort of behaviour
