The weather was cool and wet but the reception was warm at Habitat for Humanity Brant when 35 supporters gathered to cheer on Terry Petkau and his Habitat Hammer of Hope Ride. Habitat Board members, volunteers, customers and politicians gathered to greet Terry as he took a quick break from the ride to enjoy a BBQ and refreshments. Terry was presented with a cheque for $381.40 raised during Earth Week in the Habitat ReStore to support the Hammer Ride which raises money to support sustainable home builds and the rebuild project in Haiti.
