Chloe Lue is the winner of a colouring contest, held during the Fire Prevention Week Kick-Off event at the Oakville Fire Department Training Campus at the end of September. Her prize was a ride from her home to St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic Elementary School in a fire truck. The engine in question arrived at the school with lights flashing, much to the delight of many younger students who came out to see the commotion. "ft was exciting," said Chloe, who rode in the fire truck with her six-year-old brother Matthew and her mother Angela. Chloe said she'd been looking forward to it and was happy the fire department held a colouring contest, not just because she got to ride in a fire truck, but because her favourite subject is art. Angela said it was a wonderful opportunity "We've been going to the fire prevention safety event for the last few years," she said. "She was really serious about the colouring contest. She didn't want to colour at the picnic table because it was bumpy She wanted something underneath the paper so it would be nice and smooth. She has always loved arts and colouring."
