Town of Barrhead Coun. Don Smith told his fellow councillors during the Jun3 28 council meeting that the Red Knights Motorcycle Club is planning a fundraising ...

"Traffic is not being impeded. Coun. Ty Assaf said he loved the idea, saying his only concern was that he was not sure if the Red Knights had requested to close a large enough area. Coun. Don Smith, a Red Knights member, said they are asking to close the two blocks to make room for what the club hopes will be dozens of motorcycle riders returning from the charity ride, expected to be sometime between 2-3 p.m. He also noted the fire department usually has a small display of equipment, such as its aerial truck, Tower 6. Coun. Dave Sawatzky said, as an owner of a Main Street business owner, said he was confident that businesses would welcome the event. The Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club is, as the name suggests, a motorcycle club for firefighters past and present. Mayor Dave McKenzie added the last-minute item to the agenda stating the municipality had received a request from the Red Knights Motorcycle Club to close a portion of Veteran's Way between Main Street and 51st Street to host a barbecue fundraiser for the Grizzly Trail Fire and Rescue Association Aug. 6 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
