A life -changing moment

2015 car -on -bike collision that resulted in her being paralyzed from the chest down and about

MacLellan commends
effort of HE IPM team
Huron East Mayor Bernie
MacLellan had a lot of gratitude to
hand out at council's Oct. 3 meeting,
the first meeting after the
International Plowing Match (IPM)
in Walton.
MacLellan said he was thanked
frequently when he was at the IPM
grounds. He said Brian McGavin
thanked him for all he did for the
IPM. However, MacLellan said that
none of what he was being thanked
for were things he had done directly.
Those thanks, MacLellan said,
were for the work of Huron East
staff and the Public Works
Department, which were working
around the clock on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of the
IPM to try and negate the effects of
Tuesday's downpour. The work
being done by the department over
the five days of the match and
beyond, MacLellan said, was second
to none and Chief Administrative
Officer Brad Knight should be very
proud of what he and his staff
accomplished in Walton.
He said that in the face of
adversity because of the weather on
Tuesday and Wednesday, the staff
members were always on their toes
and what they accomplished was
very much appreciated by those
running the IPM.
MacLellan's second thank -you
went to Economic Development
Officer Jan Hawley, who was the
architect of the municipality's tent at
the match.
The municipality went out on a
limb to host its own tent, even
though it had a barn in the Huron
County Showcase and MacLellan
said it proved to be a great decision
for the municipality.
