wonderful participation the

Double duty
Santa Claus, alongside his supportive wife, pulled double duty on Saturday night. First, the
couple were the highlight of the annual Brussels Santa Claus parade, then, at the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community Centre, they heard the Christmas wish lists of children like three-
year-old Violet Bougard, below, second from left, and Violet's one -year-old brother Levi. (Denny

M -T approves contested rezoning

fence, which wouldn't be necessary
if the company went ahead with
plans to relocate a buffer strip of
trees, and a request by the
complaining landowner to plant trees
on a separate property that was not
connected to the planning process.
Councillor John Smuck said
council should move forward with
the rezoning, saying that Canadian
Crane Company has "been bending
over backwards" to make things as
acceptable as possible for
neighbours.
Council approved the rezoning
application which will now go to
Huron County Council. If the
neighbouring landowner's
complaints are still outstanding, it
will be treated as a contested
municipal approval when brought to
the county's committee of the whole
meeting.
