"The volunteers throughout our whole municipality has been really strong," he said, giving good com- ments to the Music In The Fields event held in Lucknow and the splash pad finishing up construc- tion in the spring time. "I know I've said this before, but you know you community is healthy when you have all these volunteers whether it's the (agricultural) society, Kins- men, Kinettes, Lions club, or what- ever it may be. They're out there to help with the community. In rural Ontario, people just come out to support their communities and to be part of their communities. We're no different here. You see that in small town Ontario." Twolan gives kudos to the approximate 35 new homes built in Huron -Kinloss in 2013. Construc- tion and building permits were higher, he commented. "That's pretty strong," he said. "We're fortunate to live up and down Lake Huron. That's a draw for our baby boomers, and we have a lot of new employees who are mov- ing in young families for Bruce Power, they're building some very nice homes. They're moving to Kin- cardine, Huron -Kinloss and Saugeen shores, which I believe benefits all of us within Huron -Kin- loss. They're paying taxes to County of Bruce, which helps supplement services in the whole county." Looking towards 2014, Twolan wants to bring natural gas to the area, including Arran-Elderslie and Kincardine. "The initial costs of some of the reports we've had started out at $100 million to bring natural gas, and we're hoping, obviously, we can bring those numbers down," he said. "It's a lot of money, but you take that over three municipalities over 30 or 50 years....," he said.
