Huge turnout for Tour de Coast Powell River visit

Tour de Coast riders were in Powell River this weekend for a special spaghetti dinner and head-shave.

Powell River RCMP Corporal Trevor Busch says the community support has been incredible.

He says it was an honour to shave his head for the cause, and his daughters even got involved.

“I’m so proud of them. They each brought a toonie to put in the bucket so that they could help raise money to shave my head. I’ve been sporting the craziest hair for the last week, way longer than I ever would – ever should, as a police officer so I’m very happy that it’s gone and you know, bald is beautiful.”

Busch adds that they’ve been able to raise close to half-a-mllion dollars so far. The ride wraps on September 28th.
