(Denny Scott photo) Sign considered for Walton Hall A motion to consider putting a sign on the Walton Community Hall will return to Huron East Council after being reviewed by the Walton Hall Board. Huron East Council made the decision at its July 5 meeting after receiving a letter from Helen Craig, secretary -treasurer of the Walton Women's Institute. Craig raised a concern with the lack of signage at the hall, which was realized when the WI recently held its 60th anniversary celebration at the hall. "The event was held in Walton Hall, which Walton WI operated approximately 10 years and have supported for many more years. We realized there is currently no sign on the hall when visiting guests were hoping they had stopped at the correct location," Craig wrote. "We are wondering about a sign for the `Citizen' to take holiday With the Civic Holiday weekend right around the corner, the staff of The Citizen are in the midst of preparing for their annual summer break. There will be no issue of The Citizen published on Thursday, Aug. 4.

At Huron East Council's July 5 meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight said there had been signage at the hall years ago, but that it had likely been covered up when the hall was last repaired and the signage was then never replaced. Council decided to refer the request to the Walton Hall Board for a recommendation, which would then return to council for approval.
