HE to plant trees in Walton to mark Canada's 150th
Huron East is zeroing in on
potential ways to mark Canada's
sesquicentennial in the municipality.
At Huron East Council's June 20
meeting, Chief Administrative
Officer Brad Knight discussed the
proposal with councillors, saying
that he had done some research on
the ideas first raised by Councillor
Bob Fisher earlier this month.
Fisher had proposed perhaps the
collection of a time capsule, in
addition to the planting of six trees
somewhere in the municipality. Five
trees would represent each of Huron
East's wards with a sixth
representing the amalgamated
municipality itself. Fisher suggested
that they could be planted in a semi-
circle with the municipality's tree in
the middle.
Knight said he felt the Walton Ball
Park would be an ideal spot for the
tree -planting ceremony. Not only is
it a stone's throw from the site of this
year's International Plowing Match
at the home farm of Jack Ryan and
family, but it's rather close to being
in the geographical centre of the
municipality.
Councillors liked the idea and
decided to go ahead with the
planting of several native species of
trees there (five of one species and
one of another).
Councillor John Lowe suggested
that given the importance of the
project to councillors, it might be
nice if councillors paid for the trees
out of their own pockets, rather than
using the municipality's money and
councillors agreed. Public Works
Director Barry Mills estimated
that the total cost of the six
trees would be between $1,000
and $1,200.
While nothing has yet been
confirmed, Councillor David Blaney
suggested that perhaps the planting
of the trees could be incorporated
into the closing ceremonies of the
IPM. A date for the tree -planting
ceremony will be decided at a later
date.
Another proposal had been to
incorporate the placing of the old
municipal office bell into the
ceremonies. The bell has since been
installed in front of the municipal
office in Seaforth.
