deadline approaches
May 1 is the next deadline
for individuals and organiza-
tions to submit applications
for the Huron Heritage Fund.
Established in 2007, the pur-
pose of the Huron Heritage
Fund is to encourage the
preservation of heritage
assets and activities of herit-
age importance to the
County of Huron and its
residents.
To date, over 50 heritage
initiatives in Huron County
have received support from
the County of Huron through
this program. In recent
years, projects have included
support for the development
of a virtual tour for the Blue -
water Heritage Committee,
exhibit enhancement funds
for the North Huron
Museum as well as an initia-
tive by the Huron Historical
Society to honour Jennie
Smillie through a plaque in
the Dr. Jennie Smillie Par-
kette, in the community of
Hensall.
"The County will contrib-
ute up to 50% of the costs of
a project to a maximum of
$5,000," according to
Meighan Wark, Director of
Cultural Services. This
investment leverages other
groups or individuals to
invest in Huron County's
heritage also.
Projects will assist in the
preservation and restoration
of heritage landmarks, his-
toric buildings, and objects
of historical significance not
owned by the County of
Huron. Heritage publica-
tions and events also qualify
for support under this
program.
More information about
the application process
can be found on the Coun-
ty's web site at: http://

fund.php
Brochures are also availa-
ble at all branches of the
Huron County Library.
