By-Law Officer Misses Getting Doused For A Good Cause

In Community, Local, Photo Gallery

Cobourg by-law officer Mark Mcmurtry, was a good Samaritan on Saturday, July 21, 2018 at the Cobourg pier.

Noticing high waves most likely knocked a life ring down from where it is placed, the Mcmurtry timed it perfectly by walking out and placing the ring back on the handle in case someone may need it in an emergency.
