the Blyth and District Community Centre, welcoming students and their parents to the arena
for a night of fun. With a superhero theme firmly in place, Peyton Anderson, left, and Ashlyn

Hall open house set
for May 19 in Blyth
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
Blyth Memorial Hall will
officially open on Friday, May 19
with a special ribbon -cutting
ceremony at 4 p.m.
An open house will be held after
the ceremony, running until 7 p.m.
Reeve Neil Vincent, during North
Huron Council's Monday night
meeting, said he would like as many
North Huron council members as
possible to attend and see the
project.
Councillor Brock Vodden said
that, through his committee work, he
had recently been inside the building
and said it was "really impressive."
***
A veranda around the Huron
County Pioneer Thresher and Hobby
Association log cabin at the Blyth
Campgrounds will proceed later this
year.
The addition was designed to add
more room to the exterior of the
facility, as well as to direct water
away from the base of the structure.
North Huron, during its May 1
meeting, approved the change
pending finalized legal documents.
Director of Recreation and Facilities
Pat Newson said the project would
be finished by the association in
June if all goes according to plan.

Monday night's council meeting.
The building bylaw was updated
to include references to the most
recent iteration of the Ontario
Building Code and fees were
removed from the bylaw and placed
in the consolidated fee bylaw, which
Chief Building Official Kirk
Livingston said would make it easier
for ratepayers to find charges.
"It will be handy for the public,
being able to search for fees for
anything in one bylaw," he said.
As a result of the change,
schedules were re -ordered in the
building bylaw and the full
document is available online.
Council is considering having
some of the more significant
changes to the building code
explained in a pamphlet to
ratepayers despite protestations
from Councillor Trevor Seip who
said that responsibility is on
ratepayers.
