Councillor Alvin McLellan, who is also a member of the community centre's renovation and expansion committee, reported back to council at its July 10 meeting. He said that the first meeting saw some great ideas thrown around and that the committee is planning on meeting again in September after members have had a chance to think. In a previous interview with The Citizen, McLellan said that the fundraising committee wanted to wait until the other committee had some solid ideas as to the work that was going to be done before asking the community for money. *** The boosters of the Winthrop Ball Park in the eastern part of Huron East reported another successful pork chop barbecue fundraiser. Councillor Brenda Dalton said that the event raised a total of $2,300 through this year's event, which means another successful year for the group behind the event. *** Huron East Council has authorized the submission of a grant application to the Municipal Greenhouse Gas Challenge Fund for the estimated cost of $272,916 for aeration blower upgrades to the Brussels and Vanastra sewage treatment plants. The funding request is $135,912. While there were due to be three intakes for the fund, said Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight, this may be the final intake due to a change in government thanks to last month's provincial election and changes being made.
