It was showing off to councillors as they arrived for a council meeting.
The $300,000 rescue truck was delivered last Friday to the Kincardine Fire Department. It will replace a 30-year-old van.
Kincardine Fire Chief Ken Padfield said the new truck was built in British Columbia.
He says it will have many uses, including use as a command vehicle, a rehab area for firefighters needing a break, and a lighting truck.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
The annual Canada Day parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, from Wildwood Park to Kenwick Park.
The $7.6 million project, which also involved water and sewer infrastructure improvements, began in 2024.
The Toronto Blue Jays dropped their third in a row Thursday, 6-5 to the visiting Texas Rangers, and the Detroit Tigers suffered a 2-1 loss to Houston.
The week-long celebration starts on Saturday and continues to next Friday.
Environment Canada said Thursday night that severe thunderstorms were moving further east after rain and high winds affected portions of the region.
