Staffers' IPM work impresses Huron East Council
Continued from page 1
other miscellaneous calls, one for a
security guard wanting to know
where he should report to, one of a
minor vehicle accident where an
ATV hit a pole and one for public
intoxication.
In addition, Bedard said he
worked with building inspectors and
the Health Unit to inspect all
buildings ahead of the match and
ensure that all food vendors
complied with their requirements.
As well, the local fire department
conducted daily inspections to
ensure fire safety requirements were
being met throughout the week.
Bedard said that even with the
high volume of medical calls, some
of which were happening around the
grounds at the same time, the team
did a "fantastic job" and "handled
the demand effectively".
Brad Dietrich, Huron East's chief
building official, said that his work
in advance of the IPM went
smoothly, with his biggest concern
being that some tents needed more
"X bracing" installed or moved, as
well as some anchorage concerns.
Dietrich's work to prepare for the
IPM began in 2016, when he was
invited to tag along for building
inspections at the Wellington County
match in order to prepare for 2017.
As for the public works
department's involvement in the
match, Director Barry Mills said his
employees worked to supply wood
chips and help erect the fencing.
They also created temporary
entrances and placed directional
signs.
During the match, Mills said that
the department assisted with traffic
control, the movement of wood
chips in order to solve water issues
after the Tuesday's rain, road
maintenance and on-site assistance
to prepare the grounds on
Wednesday to re -open on Thursday.
After the match, Mills said road
maintenance has continued as a
result of the heavy traffic during the
match, the removal of fencing and
removal of the temporary road signs.
He also said that Huron East
contributed just under $30,000 over
the course of the match through
water supply, sanitary disposal, solid
waste, recycling, labour and
equipment.
Mills said he was proud of how his
department handled challenges and
worked to make the match great.
"Huron East's involvement in the
planning, preparation and
participation in the IPM has received
praise from the organizers and all
involved in the 100th IPM in
Walton," Mills said in his report to
council. "Our staff exhibited co-
operation, professionalism and
dedication. In addition, many of our
staff provided volunteer hours to the
event based on their own personal
interests and initiative"
Economic Development Officer
Jan Hawley said that her work,
which included hosting both the
Huron East "barn" in the Huron
County Showcase and an additional
Huron East tent, has received an
overwhelming response.
"The response from the public was
overwhelming and the uniqueness of
the entire exhibit continues to
receive accolades. However, it
wasn't solely the visual aspect of the
displays that won people over, but
how welcoming our volunteers were
to those visiting the Huron East
showcase," Hawley said in her report
to council. "Everyone's enthusiasm
and dedication genuinely
demonstrated just how proud we are
of our community. I couldn't be
prouder of the support I received
throughout the process. In the 35
years I have been a resident of
Huron County and the nine and a
half years I've been employed by
Huron East, I have never ex-
perienced anything quite like this."
Hawley's displays utilized 37
volunteers over the course of the
match, which included councillors,
staff, residents and "champions of
Huron East" from outside of the
municipality.
She said that the display in the
Huron East tent was well received
and that the NHL exhibit proved to
be its most popular. In fact, she said,
it has inspired a Brussels resident to
donate his 50 -piece vintage hockey
jersey collection to complement the
display going forward.
Council received all five of the
reports, complimenting staff on their
hard work and dedication throughout
the match.
