Dressed for the holidays Jane Hoggart and her dog Daisy were one of the main attractions on Friday, Dec. 21 as Londesborough United Church held its annual Christmas concert. The evening featured Christmas carols, piano lessons and plenty of fun just before Christmas. (Jim Brown photo) YMCA ahead of budget goal Central Huron Council found out that its YMCA at the Central Huron Community Complex is ahead of its budgetary goal at council’s Dec. 10 meeting. To date, the centre has nearly 450 members, which is above original expectations. Kathi Lomas-McGee from the YMCA informed councillors that membership figures don’t include those buying day passes or short-term visits, so 150 more people could likely be added to give council a more accurate idea of how many people are using the Central Huron YMCA. Lomas-McGee also said the centre’s retention rate has been higher than expected. When the centre’s first anniversary rolled around on Oct. 12, 85 per cent of adult members renewed their membership. The YMCA-wide average is 62 per cent. Sixty-four per cent of families retained their memberships, while just 28 per cent of students stayed members. Lomas-McGee said that the low student retention rate is simply par for the course. Because a student’s life, including location, changes so much from year to year, it is just normal that memberships are not going to be retained if a student has to move to another town. Customers are pleased with the service they’re receiving at the centre as well, Lomas-McGee said, with surveys being returned stating that 87 per cent of customers are satisfied with the service. The national average is 81 per cent. As the YMCA moves forward, Lomas-McGee says, a rebranding will be taking place under the new slogan “Together We Can”. She says the hope is that people will begin using the facility with their friends and family and getting fit together as the years go on. The campaign will be rolled out between 2013 and 2016. In 2013, Lomas-McGee said, the YMCA will be looking for a contribution from council of just over $17,000, which is good, given as young as the centre is. One issue organizers are hoping to address in the new year, she said, is increased signage. Lomas-McGee says that with the YMCA’s rebranding, new signs will be coming and they will need the municipality’s help. Mayor Jim Ginn said there has been talk of signage on the municipal side of things as well as they are hoping to create matching signage for the municipality’s main buildings, such as the Clinton Raceway, the community complex and the Regional Equine and Agricultural Centre of Huron. Chief Administrative Officer Peggy Van Mierlo-West said that signage has already been placed in the 2013 budget to be considered. By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen North Huron Township Council decided, during their Dec. 17 meeting, to maintain the status quo with regards to policing in the East Wawanosh and Blyth Wards of the township. Earlier in December, the council received a report from the Ontario Provincial Police about how much it would cost to have the provincial police service to provide more services throughout the rural township. While the cost seemed nominal to council, local OPP warned that the increase in costs might not reflect what it would actual cost since calls this year and last year were over the figures that were used to generate the quote. Instead of adopting a Section 10 contract with OPP, North Huron will continue being serviced under Section 5.1 which maintains policing with no extra services, throughout East Wawanosh and Blyth. Wingham will remain under protection of the Wingham Police. Police to stay uncontracted Munro fest a success Continued from page 10 was held as well as a walking tour called “Alice’s Town”. The Huron Arts Heritage Network and an Ontario Trillium Grant made the festival possible as did donations of venues and human resources from the Township of North Huron. Stewart requested support from North Huron through the venues and human resources that were made available to them for this year’s festival as well as request funds from the 2013 budget to help continue the festival. Other partners helping with the program included Huron County Cultural Services and Library, the Huron Tourism Association, the Blyth Festival and the Huron Arts and Heritage Network. A motion to support the event was carried.
