The United Way 2021 Campaign kicked off last week, however, it will do so without the Firetruck Pull.

The organization has chosen to postpone the event due to the rising numbers of local COVID-19 cases and the new restrictions announced on September 15th.

The Firetruck Pull was scheduled to take place this Saturday, September 18th at the Bonnet’s Energy Centre’s parking lot. The event will take place at a later date, which is still to be determined.

While it’s disappointing, they feel they have made the best decision for the safety of United Way staff, volunteers and community members.
