Continued from page 30 a marketing tool only,” he said. “It was understandable when they asked why money should be spent on marketing this far ahead of the changes. “In actuality, it’s the complete opposite,” he said. “The data can be used for future marketing, but it’s primarily an architectural tool to help us identify the state of the building and look to the future of the build.” The funding of Huron Geomatics inclusion in the project will be very similar to the model of the renovations, according to Smith, as it will be covered by both the 14/19 campaign and the hall if it’s approved. After the meeting, the proposed inclusion of the data gathering company in the needs assessment of the building was taken to the North Huron Economic Development Committee and the committee’s suggestions and findings will be discussed at an upcoming meeting. The push to begin the project, according to Elliott, comes from the fact that any changes to Memorial Hall have to happen on a tight deadline. “We have to start this by September of 2014 or else we have to push it to 2015,” he said, indicating the work would need to be done after the Blyth Festival finishes its next season and before the start of the following season. “We discussed setting up a committee to consider that timeline and start work on Memorial Hall as soon as possible,” he said. Elliott also said that, at the meeting, Blyth Legion President Andy Lubbers spoke on the Legion’s involvement with the organization as well as Cenotaph Day, a special day that will be celebrated in Blyth and, hopefully, across the province and country, to celebrate cenotaphs. Set for June 28, the day marks not only the beginning of World War I but also the placement of the cornerstone of the hall in 1920, a year after the Women’s Institute had started the movement to create a living cenotaph in Blyth. Currently, Smith is seeking out the name of the women involved with the project to make sure they receive recognition as the 14/19 committee feel this is a carrying forward of the spirit those women started and the founders of the Blyth Festival continued. Anyone with information on the women should contact Smith at 14/19 project’s contact number, 519- 955-4594. For more information about the project, visit the 14/19 Campaign public information night and open house at the former Blyth Public School on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. Congratulations Kate Higgins, left, won the Morris Ward Graduate Award at Friday night’s commencement ceremony at F.E.
