(Quinn Talbot photo) 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. BRUSSELS LIVESTOCK Division of Gamble & Rogers Ltd.

Installations coming for proposed tent Continued from page 12 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.
