Touch A Truck - Cancelled for 2020

Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Touch A Truck event scheduled for September 12, 2020. The Walk will not be feasible with the expected Phasing guidelines and our ability to insure the safety of our community during this event. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to support efforts to contain COVID-19 and protect the health of our community. We look forward to seeing everyone next year.
