The Blyth and District Community Centre was home to a
large broomball tournament over the weekend that
welcomed plenty of teams from all over the province to the
village. In this Saturday afternoon game, Blyth PeeWee 2
took on a team from Mildmay and, although Blyth (and one
of its players) was able to find the back of the net on this
play, the locals were bounced in this game by a score of 3-
2. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
Trail committee
completes work in
Wingham: Beard
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Wingham Community Trail
Committee has completed a
significant amount of work on the
trail this year according to
committee member Phil Beard.
Beard represented the committee
during North Huron Council's Nov.
6 meeting. He explained to council
that, over the past year, more than
180 hours of work have been put into
the trail.
The committee created a 100 -
metre buffer strip between the trail
and adjacent businesses that includes
116 trees and shrubs planted with the
assistance of TD Tree Days, a
volunteer program that provides
trees for community projects.
Beard said the group also rebuilt a
cedar rail fence on the east side of
the trail. He thanked Jim McGee of
the Belgrave area for providing the
rails to the group at a reduced rate.
"Members of the board did the
work in rebuilding the fence," he
said. "We plan on rebuilding the
fence on the west side of the trail
next year and planting some
flowering vines and wild roses"
The group refurbished the trail's
entrance garden at Patrick Street
Beard said wood chips were spread
and wild flowers were planted in the
space.
The International Plowing Match's
(IPM) Education Committee
provided the wild flowers for the
project.
"The flowers were provided at no
cost," Beard said. "The [IPM]
committee didn't want to see them
go to waste"
The Education Committee also
donated wild flowers that were
planted by the trail committee near
Maitland River Elementary Schood.
Beard explained that, similar to
previous years' presentations, the
trail committee was at the meeting to
advise council on the group's
activities and not to ask for funding.
He explained that he felt it fell to
every citizen to chip in and make
their community great.
Councillor Ray Hallahan
congratulated the group and its
volunteers for the efforts
forward.

Bottle drive set for Nov. 25
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
On Saturday, Nov. 25,
representatives of Blyth Brussels
Minor Hockey will be on the hunt
for your bottles in an effort to raise
funds for the league.
Sarah Cherrey, a representative of
the parents of the league from Blyth,
is one of the organizers of the event,
which will run from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m. that day. The hope, she said, is
that both the Blyth and Brussels
communities will take part.
The main locations for the bottle
drive will be Scrimgeour's Food
Market in Blyth and the Jam Jar Pub
and Eatery in Brussels. However,
Cherrey hopes that most businesses
in both Blyth and Brussels will
participate that day.
Cherrey said she hopes that most
local businesses will open
themselves up as fundraisers, asking
patrons to donate $1 each to help the
hockey association's fundraising
efforts.
The drive will go towards
tournament fees and the hope is that
enough will be raised that day to
donate some of the proceeds to each
of the association's teams.
For more information on the bottle
drive, or to participate, call Cherrey
on her cell phone at 519-572-
9257.
