Following upon the successes of the past two years, Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce have planned four activities for Classic Car owners throughout the summer of 2022. Members of the public are invited to all of these events for a walk down an automotive memory lane. As has been the practice of other years there is no admission fee for any of these events but donations will be gratefully accepted by Crime Stoppers. Donations over $20 are receiptable.
Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce, Sauble Beach Speedway, and the Sunset Cruisers of Sauble Beach and Saugeen Shores will be hosting a Classic Car Corral on June 25th at the opening of the race season. Over 150 classic and specialty cars will be on display starting at around 5:00 PM and prior to the evening's races. At half time the cars will be invited to strut their stuff on the race track.
On June 28th, all roads will lead to Paisley as the South Bruce County Classic Car Tour will invite drivers to tour the back roads, farms, rolling hills and villages of south central Bruce County. Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce will host a stationary car show at the Paisley Palace Park starting at 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This event will include a 1:00 PM shotgun start from Sauble Beach, Port Elgin, Kincardine, Paisley and Point Clark. At all locations Crime Stoppers volunteers will be handing out route maps for participants.
Then on July 31, Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce will host their annual Bruce Peninsula Run and Classic Car Show. Classic and hobby cars will gather at Port Elgin, Sauble Beach, Owen Sound, Wiarton and Lion's Head and move out on a shotgun start at 1:00 PM on various routes around Northern Bruce Peninsula. Crime Stoppers volunteers will have route maps for participants. All routes will end off at the Wiarton Keppel International Airport for an afternoon stationary show that will last until around 6:00 PM.
On September 25 the third annual Keppel Classic Colour Tour will be hosted by Crime Stoppers. A 1:00 PM shotgun start from Sauble Beach, Wiarton, Owen Sound and Port Elgin will take Classic Car enthusiasts on a fall colour tour of old Keppel Township in the Municipality of Georgian Bluffs. Maps supplied by Crime Stoppers volunteers at all locations will show several scenic routes that guarantee spectacular scenery of the forests, cliffs and waters around this most colourful part of Ontario. All routes will end at the Grey Roots Museum for a stationary car show which will last until 6:00 PM.
Crime Stoppers is a community based program that combines the police, media, and members of the public in a co-operative effort to solve crime. Crime Stoppers encourages people to call our toll-free 1-800-222-TIPS, (8477) phone number or submit a secure Web Tip with information about any criminal activity in their communities. The information shared is forwarded anonymously to law enforcement investigators.
Crime Stoppers is a group of concerned citizens comprised of a Volunteer Board of Directors. This Board administers the program, controls and raises funds, and manages the payment of rewards to Tipsters. Crime Stoppers is incorporated as a charitable organization and therefore all cash donations are tax deductible.
Citizens who supply tips will not be asked, or expected, to identify themselves, and they will not have to appear in court - Crime Stoppers call takers and the police will not know who you are!
