Welcomes Huron -Bruce
Candidate Colleen Schenk
Following a contested nomination
between two strong candidates, the
Ontario Liberal Party is pleased to
announce that Colleen Schenk has
been elected as the candidate in the
provincial riding of Huron -Bruce.
"I'm proud to be the candidate for
Huron -Bruce" said Schenk following
her nomination; Huron Bruce has a
long history of strong Liberal represent-
atives that make local opinions heard at
Queen's Park, and plan to continue that
tradition of standing up for local com-
munities. I know that Kathleen Wynne
and I have similar priorities for ridings
like Huron -Bruce; we are both focused
on creating jobs and economic oppor-
tunities for everyone, improving local
roads, bridges, and highways - and of
course, ensuring that all our students
receive world class education, is very
important to me."
Colleen and her husband John live in
Wingham, where they raised three chil-
dren. Through her work with madd,
Habitat For Humanity, the Wingham
Figure Skating Club and other
POLICE BRIEFS
organizations, Colleen has always
worked to give back to the local com-
munity and make Huron -Bruce a great
place for families to grow -up.
Colleen is currently serving her sixth
term as a Trustee with the Avon Mait-
land District School Board. Over the
years Colleen has served as Chair of the
Board, and on each of the Board's com-
mittees. In addition to her work with
local school boards Colleen served for
three years as the President of the
Ontario Public School Boards Associa-
tion where she helped shape province
wide policy and was the official spokes-
person for all of the public school
boards in Ontario. She worked closely
with the provincial government in
many capacities.
The Ontario Liberal Party is pleased
to welcome Colleen to our growing
team of candidates and thanks fellow
candidate Neil Vincent for his partici-
pation in the nomination race and
steadfast service to the community.

March campaign targets
distracted drivers
Huron County Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) officers charged a total of
47 drivers during the recent province
wide Distracted Driving Campaign,
which wrapped up on March 14.
Although the campaign is over it cer-
tainly doesn't mean enforcement will
come to a halt. Officers will continue to
be on the lookout on a daily basis for
those drivers that continue to put oth-
ers at risk by using their cell phone or
entertainment device while driving.
The Provincial Traffic Safety Program
(PTSP) uses a combination of enforce-
ment, education and high officer visi-
bility to encourage safe driving behav-
