LUCAN â The memory of a prominent member of Lucanâs â and Ontarioâs â history was recently honoured by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
LUCAN BIDDULPH – Lucan Biddulph learned some good news about its OPP station at a recent conference.
The municipality participated in the Jan. 25-26 Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) conference, which was held “virtually” this year due to the pandemic. Members of Lucan Biddulph council have expressed concern in the past about the future of the Lucan OPP station, noting that they want to ensure it stays open. As previously reported, small communities such as Exeter and Wingham lost their OPP stations last summer.
