Barn destroyed by fire on Kimball Road
Get a ride to Petrolia’s fireworks
July 1, 2016
Getting to and from Greenwood Park for the fireworks on Canada Day can be easy.
Hull Bus Lines Ltd. of Petrolia, in partnership with the Petrolia Community Services Advisory Committee will offer a free shuttle to and from the annual fireworks show.
The shuttle service begins at 7:00 p.m. and continue until 9:45 p.m. to deliver riders to Bridgeview Park and then the first shuttle will depart immediately after the fireworks show is over to return people to their required stop.
Strollers are welcome on the shuttle if they can fold and fit on a seat, but they ask that no wagons are brought on the buses. Although the service is complimentary, donations will be accepted to help offset the cost of the fireworks display.
The full schedule and pick up locations are noted in area business windows and are also available online in the Resident Notice and Advisory section of the Town’s website at www.town.petrolia.on.ca and in the July Petrolia Connection
