Granby Drummer (https://granbydrummer.com/category/town/page/4/)
Before the Granby Ambulance Association existed, a Cadillac station wagon kept in a barn responded to motor vehicle accidents and household injuries. The late Cal Heminway and other concerned citizens put an end to that and established a trained volunteer service to handle such emergencies. That was in 1963.
Effective Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, for safety reasons, the Town of Granby bans the use of e-bikes and non-medically required electric scooters within all Town parks. Such e-bikes and scooters can be parked at the entrance to the park in the designated areas.
