Truck volume, road construction, routinely clogging Highway 402

Petrolia’s downtown is filled with people for Art in the Park. Artisans and artists line Victoria Park and there are demonstrations going on as well.
This is Brian Houf of The Houf Workshop in Corunna. He takes green wood and turns them into bowls and utensils using a lathe he made himself.
Houf, who works for the Lambton County Library, started his hobby during the pandemic. He uses wood from freshly cut trees, many from his neighbourhood.
Friday afternoon, when The Independent visited with him, he was working with Norway Maple.
