Marshall pitches ec. dev. review
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
John Marshall of the Huron
County Economic Development
Board says that a service delivery
review in the county is what's
needed to move forward.
Marshall has been doing the
rounds throughout the lower -tier
municipalities in Huron County to
speak about "Growing Success: a
service delivery review of economic
development services in Huron
County". This is the board's $60,000
proposal to the county to search for
efficiencies within the county and its
economic development departments.
The proposal took heat early on in
the process as many councillors and
staff members saw it as a way of
working towards single -tier
government in Huron County.
Marshall, however, was candid
about his board's success since its
inception in 2015, saying the board
has struggled at times. Where the
board has seen success, he said, is in
coming up with ideas, but
implementing them has proven to be
a challenge.
"Without this review, the board
feels we're flying blind in the face to
attract new investment," Marshall
said in his presentation. "We don't
know if we're winning, losing or
even if we're still in the game."
He also added that reviewing the
current level of service is the
government's way of completing
due diligence to ensure value for the
taxes being committed to the project.
Marshall was in Central Huron
and Huron East last week to present
to their councils and he faced some
skepticism. However, Marshall said
that's exactly why he's consulting
with the lower -tier councils of
Huron County. He's looking for
feedback and hoping to tweak the
request for proposals before it's sent
out to potential consultants.
Huron East Chief Administrative
Officer Brad Knight said there were
definitely still some phrases in the
proposal's terms of reference that he
found troubling. Knight didn't
elaborate, but Marshall said he'd like
to know so that anything "troubling"
to the lower tiers could be removed
before the request for proposals
stage of the project.
Knight was also critical about the
scope of the project, saying that
perhaps the county should ensure
that its house is in order and review
the goings-on of its economic
development department before
prying into how lower -tier
departments are run.
Knight pointed out that the county
is now on its fourth economic
development officer in just two years
and felt continuity should be
achieved before anything else could
be accomplished.
Marshall agreed, saying that a lack
of continuity in the county's
department has made the board's
work challenging, but that's
something they hope they've
achieved with the team that's
currently in place.
Huron East Economic
Development Officer Jan Hawley
raised the issue of the "Train the
Trainer" program that was recently
completed through the county and
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).
She said that the work of the board
in "Growing Success" felt redundant
in the face of the success of the Train
the Trainer program.
Marshall agreed that it would be
redundant to reinvent the wheel, but
said that the service delivery review
would be a "road map" to
implementing the work done with
the Train the Trainer exercise.
Knight and council, as well as
Central Huron Council, agreed to
provide feedback on the project in
the coming weeks before a request
for proposals is formally sent out.
Over 76,000 attend 100th IPM
The 2017 International Plowing
Match and Rural Expo (IPM) is
pleased to confirm 2017 was a very
successful match! The IPM
welcomed 76,546 visitors over the
shortened four days of the IPM.
IPM Chair Jacquie Bishop said
that, "All of our stakeholders rose to
the challenge to overcome the
weather adversity during the week
of the IPM which allowed us to
welcome thousands of visitors to the
Match. The IPM executive is pleased
with the success of our exhibitors,
our engagement of the residents
welcoming people to the area, our
community businesses with their
sponsorship and support from all
government levels."
She went on to compliment all the
volunteers, "Our volunteers went
that extra "weather" mile showing
the attendees the pride we had of
hosting the 100th International
Plowing Match and Rural Expo in
Huron County."
Ontario Plowmen's Association
(OPA) President Don Priest said,
"The 2017 IPM was a great success.
The IPM and OPA extend a most
sincere "thank you" to the many
sponsors large and small and all the
IPM corporate partners for their
financial contributions and their in-
kind support. Our presenting
partners — Ontario Mutual Insurance
Association, BMO Bank of
Montreal and Hydro One — were
once again central to the success of
this year's IPM."
The streets of the IPM Tented City
were crowded with visitors enjoying
the many events and exhibits; Cathy
Lasby, Executive Director of the
OPA noted, "Our visitors enjoyed an
exciting program of events this year
as well as the wide range of
vendors." Lasby added, "Exhibitor
space was sold out — for both inside
and outside vendors — for the 2017
IPM"
Brian McGavin, Local Executive
Committee Member, highlighted the
youth attendance.
"The commitment from our local
schools was outstanding. Fifty-four
buses rescheduled their attendance
to IPM 2017 after Wednesday of the
Match being cancelled and a total of
202 buses full of youth attended
IPM 2017 to celebrate and
learn about agriculture and rural
living."
ESTC looks to partnerships
Continued from page 1
programs offered through partner-
ships with the Ontario Fire College
and the Ontario Fire Marshal's
(OFM) office, two organizations
the ESTC had worked with in the
past.
Alderman reported that the
ESTC is actively partnering with the
OFM after meeting in late
September to establish several
firefighter -focused program
including multiple intakes of the
National Fire Protection
Association's (NFPA) 1001
Firefighter I and II courses.
A future meeting will see
other NFPA courses considering
including programs focused on
hazardous materials, rope rescue,
confined spaces, fire officer, fire
inspector, fire investigation and
public fire and life safety education
programs.
Alderman said the ESTC was also
seeking programming outside its
normal purview of emergency
services training and looking at
programs such as D -Class driver
training and air brakes endorsement,
working height regulatory training
and confined spaces regulator
training.
Currently, the ESTC is partnering
with Loomex Training, Alderman
explained, to provide three classes,
Scribe and Note Taking, Crisis
Communication and Emergency
Skills Development and Exercise
Design, all of which will begin in
pilot format this month.
A full list of confirmed, available
programming will be available on
the ESTC's new website at
www.estc.ca.
Alderman said the ESTC is
seeking to promote its programming
through the its own client database,
the Ontario Association of Fire
Chiefs and Huron County Fire
Chiefs. He may seek out more
participation through the
Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, the Canadian Construction
Association, the Ontario General
Contractors' Association and
Transport Canada as well.
