Touch-A-Truck Event Returns to Brockville for 2024

By United Counties of Leeds and Grenville - Aug 02, 2024

The Children’s Services Department of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, in partnership with the City of Brockville and the United Way of Leeds and Grenville, is excited to announce the return of the annual TOUCH A TRUCK event and BBQ. This family-friendly event will take place on Friday, August 16th, 2024, at the Brockville Memorial Centre parking lot, located at 100 Magedoma Blvd in Brockville.

Parents, grandparents, and caregivers are invited to bring their children and grandchildren to this FREE event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to explore and interact with a variety of vehicles, including those from emergency services, construction, public transportation, and more.

Parking will be available at the Memorial Centre, with overflow parking provided in the back parking lot of Brockville's Canadian Tire. Additionally, the Memorial Centre is a regular stop on the Brockville City bus route and this bus will be running as usual that day.

This year’s event is made possible through the generosity and support of our community partners: Correctional Services Recruitment Unit, Tackaberry Construction, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Paramedics, Hydro One, Bandit Motorsports, Brockville Police Services, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Public Works, Brockville Fire Department, Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), Triple P Parenting (LLGHU), The City of Brockville, Brockville Tourism, Infant Child Development Program (KidsInclusive), Amanda Rowan-Miletich (CPSAC), and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Children's Services/EarlyON.

We extend a special thanks to the United Way of Leeds and Grenville for sponsoring the BBQ and for their volunteer efforts to make this event enjoyable for all attendees.

A limited number of noise-canceling headphones will be available to borrow for children with sounds sensitivities. These can be signed out at the event entrance tent.
