MVCA presents report to CH
Phil Beard and Jayne Thompson
of the Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority say that after June's flood
event, the organization's priority
focus is more important than ever.
The pair spoke to Central Huron
Council at its July 17 meeting,
outlining the authority's activities
over the past year and how it is
continuing to shift its focus towards
managing shoreline erosion risk,
stewardship and the Carbon
Footprint Initiative.
With the authority's recent focus
on flood monitoring and prevention,
the flood event in the northern end of
the watershed showed just how
necessary services provided by the
authority are, said Beard.
As part of the authority's three-
year plan from 2017 to 2019, Beard
told councillors that the organization
hopes to use that time to strengthen
flood and erosion safety services,
strengthen watershed stewardship
services and stabilize its financial
base.
Funding, he said, has been a
challenge in recent years and the
authority has aimed to move away
from physical assets like the Above
the Falls challenge course or the
Wawanosh Nature Centre and focus
on new priorities.
While much of the severe flooding
of late June centred around northern
locations like Harriston, Wingham,
Blyth and Gorrie, Central Huron was
not immune to the effects of the
weather, Beard said. He showed a
picture of a camper trailer with water
up past its tires at Shelter Valley
campground in Central Huron, but
said the municipality was largely
unharmed by the weather event.
Beard said that having stable
funding for the authority to carry out
its directives is important going
forward.
As for stewardship and improving
the environment, Thompson said
that the authority continues the
planting of tens of thousands of trees
throughout the watershed every year.
This spring, over 31,000 trees
were planted throughout the
watershed, Beard said, and Central
Huron continues to be the star of that
program. Central Huron took in 31
per cent of the large -stock trees
offered up by the authority, and 35
per cent of the seedlings, which is
the best uptake in the program of all
the municipalities the authority
covers.
Council accepted the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority's
annual report.

Installations coming
for proposed tent

be museum -quality exhibits, as well
as video pieces, created by Cooper,
highlighting each ward. There will
also be some large installation
pieces created to honour some of the
wards' most recognizable landmarks
or features.
She said that the IPM in Huron
East really is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. The last time it was in
what is now Huron East was in 1966
when it was held near Seaforth.
When events the size of the IPM are
that infrequent, she said, you have to
make the most of your opportunities.
Huron East will still be part of the
Huron County Showcase, Hawley
says, and the municipality is proud
to do so. However, her focus is the
municipality's tent as the match
draws near.
"It's a great opportunity for us to
strut our stuff," Hawley said. With
so many visitors making their way to
the match, if the tent can intrigue
some people to return to the
municipality for a visit, it will have
done its job.
Many of the exhibits being created
for the IPM tent, however, will live
on, she said. There has been talk of
some of them being displayed at the
London airport to help market the
municipality, but Hawley said there
will be plenty of post -IPM uses for
what is being created for the tent.
Some of the exhibits are currently
being created. For Brussels, for
example, the historic Carnegie
library will be featured, and in
Seaforth, the golf course will be the
focus of the exhibit.
The Huron East tent will be one of
the education program's passport
stops on the student day, which is
expected to bring over 7,000
students to the IPM in Walton.
