Brussels celebratessuccesses and future
Huronlea celebrates 20
Through song, celebration and a meal, residents, employees and friends of Huronlea
celebrated 20 years in Brussels during a special outdoor meal last Thursday. Shown cutting a
cake celebrating that day are, from left, site administrator Barb Springall, Volunteer Auxiliary
Member Leona Armstong, Representative of Residents’ Council Harold Davis, Volunteer
Auxiliary Member Donna Howling and Huron County Chief Administrative Officer Brenda
Orchard. (Denny Scott photo)
While the current state of
Brussels was celebrated Friday
night at a gala screening of
Rediscovering Canada, the future of
Brussels was also previewed that
same night.
Huron East Economic
Development Officer Jan Hawley
revealed several aspects of the
village’s new streetscape plan at the
event, which was held at the
Brussels Business and Cultural
Centre, formerly Brussels Public
School.
The new plan will focus on civic
beautification through the addition
of green space and trees, increased
pedestrian walkability, street
furnishings and formal parking for
the village’s main street.
The plan also revolves around the
installation of decorative streetlights
with village banners and hanging
baskets. The full 38-page report
can be viewed on The Citizen’s
website at www.northhuron.on.ca
The plan also incorporates
decorative crosswalk markings on
main street. It also suggested an
archway entrance to the village’s
parkette, beside Solace Spa on
Turnberry Street.
Further suggestions include more
people living in the village’s
downtown, more bike lanes
and green roofs on downtown
buildings.
The report was prepared by a
group of University of Guelph
students who visited the village over
a year ago.
Economic Development Officer
Jan Hawley says that while the
foundation has now been
built, the next step is
implementation, which will not be
easy.
She is optimistic of the plan’s
impending success however.

NEWS
FROM BRUSSELS
Market opens with 10 stalls
Spring seems to have sprung this
week. The many shades of green are
all about and the new growth is
evident all about us. Yippee.
The Friday Farmers’ Market is off
to a good start, with over 10 stalls
ready the past two weeks. There are
many ways to look at a community
market. So is the market a place to
sell food, a place to introduce new
products, a place for social
exchange, a place to obtain familiar
and well-known products or a
meeting place and a place to eat?
The hope of the board is that it is
one or more of those things that
meets your needs and that Friday at
the market will become part of your
weekly routine.
The neat thing about travel is that
we see new things and we once
again recognize that others often do
things in another way. For Jean
Bewley, a recent trip to visit family
in Airdrie, Alberta let her know that
when the boys go hunting, it was not
for groundhogs and coyotes. A
motion camera showed Jean that the
animal being baited was a very large
