On Easter weekend, Terry and I drove to Galt with our daughter.
This picturesque old town is now part of the city of Cambridge, in southern Ontario.
Walking beside the walls and walkways next to the Grand River reminds me of Europe.
What was it like here 200 years ago, when the town was first built? Did people travel by canoe and boat down the river?
Did they fish for food from these walkway’s along the river?
At one point, our walk was interrupted by a loud crash!
Two cars had collided.
It was a little more serious than a fender-bender, since liquid was dripping out of one car - and the driver’s door on the other car didn’t open…
After calling 9-1-1, we continued on our way… but we kept looking back…
More than 10 minutes passed before we saw a lone police car show up.
(I had expected a fire truck, equipped with a “jaws of life” metal cutter.)
Is the slow, quiet pace of the town reflected in its emergency services as well? If so, that would be one of the disadvantages of quiet small-town life!
