It was all smiles during the ribbon cutting to mark the official grand opening of the new EMS base located at the former Tory Hill firehall on June 12. The building recently underwent renovations, making it a full functioning ambulance base for the Haliburton County emergency services department. The ribbon was cut by Highlands East Reeve Dave Burton, left, Haliburton County Warden Murray Fearrey and EMS director Pat Kennedy. ANGELICA BLENICH/HALIBURTON COUNTY ECHO/QMI AGENCY
