Episode 67 - Tracy Murray - Gran Fondo Lake Huron

FEO-ON-THE-AIR

In this episode of FEO on the Air we are joined by Tracy Murray from the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation to talk about the Gran Fondo Lake Huron presented by Bruce Power & Suppliers. The 2023 event is coming up fast (Sunday, August 20))and Tracy takes time out of her busy schedule to tell us all about this years event, the challenges she and her team face, and changes to the event because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Gran Fondo Lake Huron starts and finishes in beautiful Southampton, Ontario and it welcomes cyclists of all levels, offering scenic rides...including 3 new routes this year and ALL routes being run in reverse for a new experience. Routes this year include 110k, 75K, 30K, 80K gravel, 10K and a 1K kids ride. The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation has a mission of raising and managing funds for equipment, facilities and staff development to ensure our community and visitors have access to the best possible hospital care. The Foundation is one of five Foundations supporting the 6 hospitals in Grey Bruce Health Services; Owen Sound, Markdale, Wiarton/Lion’s Head, Meaford and Southampton. Our fundraised dollars are used to purchase equipment for the Southampton site and our share, generally based on patient usage, for our regional hospital in Owen Sound. Also joining Dave today is Heather Hyde from Economic Development Saugeen Shores. She talks about all of the activities, attractions and restaurants available to visitors that come to the area.
