🚘 Driving the Future Mentors Needed 🚗

Our Youth Development Team's Driving the Future program helps young people build the supervised driving hours to gain a provisional license.

For some young people, getting to 75 hours isn’t easy. We're in need of volunteer mentor drivers and you can help. You could help them gain independence and opportunities for their future.

You don’t need to be a driving instructor, just a safe, supportive and reliable driver. A driver's license and working with children check are required.

Interested in volunteering? Complete an application form and our Youth Development Team will be in touch! https://bit.ly/COV-DrivingtheFuture

🐴💔The City of Victor Harbor and the Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram team are saddened to confirm the passing of much-loved Clydesdale horse, Albert, following a short illness.

At 18 years of age, Albert was a valued member of the Horse Drawn Tram team for 13 years and held a special place in the hearts of staff, volunteers, drivers and visitors alike.

We will remember him for his calm confident nature, gentle temperament and unique personality. He famously disliked fishing rods and preferred not to wear winkers, so he could see everything happening around him.

Albert's contribution to the Horse Drawn Tram experience and the joy he brought to residents and visitors over many years will be fondly remembered

We ask the community to be mindful of the impact of Albert’s loss on the tramway staff and volunteers to whom Albert was a much-loved colleague and companion of many years.
