Hospital renos recognized for accessibility Continued from page 11 Hutchinson prior to the renovations to the hospital in 2014 and provided recommendations that were followed through the renovations at the main entrance area of the hospital. Larry McCabe, the Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Goderich also received an award on behalf of the town. The committee said that the plan to rebuild the downtown of the town after the August 2011 tornado hit addressed several accessibility issues on The Square and for the courthouse.

Johnston says the festival will focus on female writers and the short story, for which Munro has been a real champion over the decades. In addition to these bigger themes, Johnston says, she feels Munro’s work has endured because of how relatable it is. “There are so many stories about real people and real lives that people can relate to,” Johnston said. This year’s festival will begin on Thursday, June 4 with a free reading and book signing by author Heather O’Neill called “Reading in the County” held at Clinton Town Hall. The author of two novels, as well as a book of poems and a book of short stories, O’Neill has also contributed to The New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Elle, Chatelaine, The National Post, The Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star, as well as CBC Radio. The festival will officially open on Friday, June 5 with writers’ workshops in Wingham with O’Neill, as well as author Andrew Kaufman. Both will also be part of the festival’s opening reception and book signing that night at Wingham Town Hall. Kaufman, originally from Wingham, is a producer with CBC Radio and the author of several books, the most recent of which is Born Weird, which was published in early 2013. On Saturday, June 6, the festival will feature various writers’ workshops throughout Wingham. In addition to Kaufman, Caroline Adderson, Merilyn Simonds and Lisa Moore will be heading up workshops that day. Adderson is the Governor General’s Award-nominated author of three novels, two short story collections and two books for young readers. Simonds has also been nominated for a Governor General’s Award for her book The Convict Lover. She has written over a dozen books, both fiction and non-fiction, over the last 35 years. Moore, who will present the festival’s keynote address later that evening, has been nominated for the Man Booker Prize and the Giller Prize and her book February won the prestigious Canada Reads competition in 2013. She will speak at the event’s Jubilee Gala on Saturday night at the Knights of Columbus Centre in Wingham. Admission to the gala is $45 per person and the winners of the festival’s short story competition will also be awarded that night. The competition, Johnston says, is still at the heart of the weekend. Last year, the competition saw one of its highest participation rates yet, with over 200 entries submitted from all over the world. While several writers honoured came from Huron County, Johnston said, it was great to see writers from all over Canada, the U.S. and even South Korea honoured as well, solidifying the festival as a truly global event. On Sunday, Adderson and Moore will conduct writers’ workshops in Bayfield for $15 each, while the two will be joined by Simonds for the weekend’s second installment of Reading in the County at Bayfield Town Hall, a free reading and book signing.

Many children were abused and some even died and didn’t return to their homes. How can we undo 100 years of abuse? We have to find a way to correct this because it is a Canadian problem. In the scripture, everyone travelled to Antioch both rich and poor. Antioch became a heartless city. The Christians told their stories of Jesus and what a forgiving person He was. By telling our story there is a way to forgive and when we can forgive we are set free. The next hymn was “Through Ancient Walls”. The offering was received followed by the offertory response, “Grant Us God the Grace” and the offertory prayers. The Blyth Guitar Group led the singing of the prayer “Make Me A Channel of Your Peace” and the singing of the Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “For All The Saints” was sung, followed by the blessing and the choral “Amen”. Everyone was invited downstairs for lunch and a time of fellowship.
