potential walking trail will be
looking at the best practices in
implementing a trail and what the
best route for a trail through the
village would be.
Hicks says that there are some
landmarks the trail would want to
include, but a definite route has yet
to be planned.
As far as the village’s streetscape
is concerned, Hicks says it’s
essential to complete long-term
planning when it comes to heritage
structures if a community wants to
keep its historical identity around for
years to come.
“You need to find a way to plan for
the future,” she said. “If you don’t
take care of these buildings, then
their future is uncertain.”
Preparing a streetscape plan for
the village, Hicks said, will help
keep the community rich in heritage,
protecting those assets.
As far as the actual project goes,
Hicks says, the students are
expecting to complete their work by
the end of April. Where the project
goes from there, however, is
anyone’s guess.
Hicks says that while Saturday
will be her first visit to the village,
she has received a very warm
welcome from everyone in the area
in doing her research and organizing
the bus trip.
“I’m extremely excited about the
project. Everyone has been
immensely kind,” she said. “This is
going to be a wonderful experience.”
Hawley says that in addition to the
current partnership with the
university, there has already been
great interest in several different
properties in Brussels, although she
can’t get into specifics.
“When the project started it was
right around the time that it was
announced that the school would be
closing and there was a lot of doom
and gloom,” Hawley said. “People
were saying that people weren’t
going to want to move here and
everyone was going to move
away and I’m not hearing that
anymore.”
THE EDITOR,
On behalf of the Alzheimer
society of Huron County, we would
like to thank all of the walkers,
donors and volunteers for helping
make our 2012 Walk for Memories
so successful. A special thank you to
Investors Group and Retire-At-
Home Services, along with all of our
other sponsors for their support.
We are pleased to announce that
over 200 walkers raised more than
$54,000 throughout the county with
$12,149 raised at our Wingham
walk. This has been our most
successful walk to date and we
could not have done it without the
help, generosity and support of
Huron County.
Through your support we can
offer “Help For Today. Hope for
Tomorrow...®” for those persons
affected by Alzheimer’s disease and
related dementias.
Your support is greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Melissa Campion, BA

New branding for Wingham unveiled at NH council
Taking a page from Blyth’s
strategic development planning, the
businesses of Wingham have devised
a branding initiative to help identify
their town.
Connie Goodall, North Huron’s
Community Development Co-
ordinator presented Wingham’s new
branding initiative, specifically the
new logo, during North Huron’s Feb.
21 meeting.
She stated that if Wingham didn’t
develop a brand to sell itself to the
outside world, the branding would
be done for them.
“If we don’t get out there and
identify ourselves, other people will,
and we’ve seen that with people
saying things like ‘No one goes to
Wingham, Ontario,’” she said.
Branding was identified as the
number one step needed in
Wingham’s strategic plan according
to Goodall.
“It won’t replace the community
branding that the township does,”
she said. “It works for the
community and the business section
and promotes pride in the business
section and the individual
community.”
The logo features the word
Wingham with a tree sprouting from
a stylized lower-case ‘h’ and a
skyline of Wingham behind it. The
tree is green and the skyline is gold.
The logo was one of four options
created by HCreates, a company in
Brussels, and was nearly-universally
chosen as the one that would work
best by both a focus group and the
Wingham Business Alliance which
has been heavily involved in the
project according to Goodall.
The purpose of the rebranding was
to put a “progressive, positive face
on the community” according to
Goodall who said that the design
was chosen because of how it
reflected that.
She stated that the gold line
represents the skyline of business
and residential buildings while the
tree symbolizes both growth and
progression and where the roots of
the community are.
The logo will be looked at being
integrated into some perpendicular
business signs that will enhance the
walkability of the community and
could be rolled out as part of a plan
to implement an updated property
numbering program suggested by
Fire Department of North Huron
Chief John Black.
