Christmas Decorating contest has
been completed with four prize
winners and five honourable

determined which families’ efforts
would be recognized this year.
First place was the Ditner family
at 324 Drummond Street. The
family won a $50 gift certificate
from Part II Bistro and
plaque, provided by Davara
Studios for their home which
represented the “Christmas
card” look according to the
committee.
The Souches, 708 Queen Street,
took second place for having that
“Griswald” look inspired by
National Lampoon’s Christmas
Vacation, according to the
committee. The household received
a $30 gift certificate from the Blyth
Inn and a plaque.
Third place was a tie between the
Reids at 288 Gypsy Lane for their
creative tree look and the
Richmonds at 308 Wellington Street
for their red and white colour
look. The two winners received
$20 gift certificates from the
Queens Bakery and Corner
Café respectively, as well as a
plaque.

Jim Henry at 180 Westmoreland
Street, Thelma Johnston at 198
Westmoreland Street, the
McDougalls and Cooks at 674

The Avon Maitland District
School Board (AMDSB), the
Ontario Physical Education
Association (Ophea), the Huron
County Health Unit and the Perth
District Health Unit hosted a
regional conference for teachers.
This conference focused on
physical activity and its importance
in schools.
“This was a great opportunity for
our teachers to learn, participate and
explore topics relating to physical
activity in their schools,” says Laura
Dekroon, Public Health Promoter
with the Huron County Health
Unit.
The conference targeted teachers
in both the elementary and
secondary schools who are

services and training to schools and

and youth to lead healthy active
lives.
