Kid in Truck

Honk! Honk! The City of Port Colborne celebrates the return of Touch-a-Truck, a fun-filled and hands-on experience for the whole family, on Tues., Sept. 27, 2022, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the City of Port Colborne’s Engineering and Operations Centre, located at 1 Killaly Street W.  

Touch-a-Truck is a free, fun, family-friendly event for the young and young at heart to climb, learn, and explore different trucks, vehicles, and equipment that help the City of Port Colborne’s public works staff perform their day-to-day jobs. The event provides a rare opportunity for kids to get up close and personal with the equipment, and safely explore many vehicles usually only seen from a distance.  

“City staff are excited to interact with the community, to showcase and teach them about the equipment they use on a daily basis to serve the residents of Port Colborne,” said Steve Shypowskyj, director of public works. “It’s also incredible to see the kids so excited to explore the trucks and heavy-duty machinery they see throughout their community.” 

The City of Port Colborne’s public works department is proud to offer Touch-a-Truck as a free event, however, donations for the Port Cares food bank are appreciated.
