REACH renews contract with Fanshawe
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
A new agreement has ensured that
Central Huron's Regional Equine
and Agricultural Centre of Huron
(REACH) will continue to be a busy
place for at least the next three years.
Matt Lee from REACH spoke to
council at its June 20 meeting and
announced the signing of a three-
year agreement with Fanshawe
College to continue its work in
Huron County.
The agreement aims to continue
the building's current work for the
college, which includes facilitating
several healthcare -related courses
and serving as the school's
headquarters for its satellite
locations, including a fully -stocked
college book store. The agreement
will also include providing
classroom space for the courses that
continue to be provided at the
Clinton location.
Lee said that with the new
agreement, REACH will "continue
to support all [Fanshawe's]
satellite locations up here."
He said the agreement is good
news for the municipality and for the
county as a whole.
Mayor Jim Ginn agreed,
congratulating Lee on his work in
securing the agreement and all that it
means for the community.
