I would be pretty close if I had to guess what you have spent on the car. I work at a auto restoration business near Blenheim Ontario. But really a vehicle's value is the owner's sentimental value. I have owned a 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe since 1979. I have refused ridiculous amounts of money from hopeful buyers because I do not want to sell it.

AKRISONER Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Speculating but I think they realize the financial impact that missing one of the four long weekends in a summer can have on marinas etc. I think dougie wants to give those businesses a break and get them running before the long weekend. im getting tired of working on my boat and not launching it lol...that first tank of gas is gonna be gonnnneeeee lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack_Fisherman Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I heard that Premier Ford has allowed marinas to start preparing for the season. I hope that means public launches are next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 So our marina can prep for launch, but for most of us that do all our own prep, we still can't go to the marina to get things ready. No way I will let them launch my boat without me being there to make sure its properly prepped, properly tied up, canvas on properly, charger on. So I will have to wait. they won't even let me go get my dinghy off the bow so I could at least get on the water with that at the cottage. Sooooo frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 It was in a Peterborough news paper Direct quote from the news release.. READ THE LAST SENTENCE.... This is not etched in stone yet. Mayor Andy Letham says the city is targeting May 12 to reopen boat launches, landfills and open the rail trail to motorized vehicles. The rail trail would usually open around May 1, but will only be open to pedestrian traffic in light of COVID-19. “These are outside activities. These are local decisions we can make on a local level, but it will depend on the provincial state of emergency and our local state of emergency as well,” Letham said at a media briefing on Thursday (April 23). The province recently extended its state of emergency to May 12. As that’s the day the declaration could end, that’s the day the city is targeting. Related Content COVID-19 will have a 'huge impact' on local economy, says Kawartha Lakes mayor Letham stressed that anything could change between now and then with the pandemic, but he said he wanted to let residents know the city was “working on it.” “There’s things we can do there to maintain distancing and put some parameters in place,” he said. “I just want to stress that this is not a done deal. If we can continue on the route that we’re going, we’re on a good path over the next two or three weeks, then we can look at easing some of these things back into the community if we can do it safely.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Lets hope that smart heads keep this open when it does. We do not need luggans at the launches . They will get shut down real quick . Do not forget,everyone has a cell phone. A quick video and report and well, back to no launching . Myself I do not need one,but this does not mean I do not care for my fellow boat owners that need a launch . I am really looking forward to sitting on my toon in a couple of weeks . I also hope to be back to work in 7 days . I hope I can squeeze in the door .LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Just talking to my Son across our fence and the OPP called him yesterday and gave him(Communication Director for the twsp) crap for the Victoria Harbour wharf being blocked with cement barriers and the fact they had to help lift the airplane crash victim over said barriers with the paramedics. It was the OPP that requested the barriers be put in place.... Edited May 3, 2020 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 ^^^^ so what's the big deal if they had to help lift a body, police, fire & paramedics work together all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those cops actually complained about having to help the paramedics lift a body I'd be very surprised if a formal complaint wasn't submitted. Emergency crews always work as a team.
