Preamble
The Property Standards bylaw for the Township of North Huron contains minimum standards of maintenance and
occupancy which all properties should meet. The bylaw is to ensure that properties now in good condition in the
community will continue to be kept in good repair.
The ideal approach is for the municipality to foster a climate of “co-operative compliance”. The information, General
Standards for All Property pertains to “Yards” that have been brought to the attention of the bylaw Enforcement Officer.
TOWNSHIP OF NORTH HURON

be numerous horse and wagons as
well as horseback riders, keeping
with the western theme. A letter will
be sent to all groups and
organizations to encourage
participation in the parade. The
parade will start and finish at the
arena. Children decorating and
riding their bikes will receive a
loonie for participating.
The time capsule committee is
going to collect items of interest
from the homecoming and prepare
the capsule. The soapbox committee
is pleased with the donations of
many area businesses and appreciate
all the sponsorship they have
received. They gratefully
acknowledge the donation of the
lumber for the starting gate from
McDonald’s. Entry fee for the
soapbox race will be $2 per entry or
a donation of a dime. The car show
committee reports the posters are
ready and very nice. Thanks to
Charlie Hoy and his generosity.
They are also having 300 fridge
magnets made for the first 300
entries. They feature Don’s antique
truck, Keith Mulvey’s car and
Dwayne Waechter’s motorcycle. The
new Huron County Hardware also
donated 13 model car kits for prizes
for an event.
The hoedown tent located at the
corner of Flora and Turnberry
Streets will have musical
entertainment Friday night, Saturday
afternoon and evening. The official
tent will also have the registration
area and hopefully service groups
selling tickets for the barbecues will
be on hand. The tent has been
realized due to the generosity of the
Hydro Trust, the Brussels Build
Group and donations from many
local residents. The 30x40 tent will
be up for the summer. A second tent
can be added for the homecoming
weekend if additional funds are
received from more community-
minded residents of Brussels and
area. Donations can be given to co-
chair Bob Richmond and a tax
receipt issued at a later date. The tent
is the halfway point between
activities at the north end of town,
the Boothill Bash and the arena for
the two barbecues planned. A central
location for the ball diamond and the
car show. Just the perfect place.
The committee is hoping to
arrange for a people-mover to use
during the weekend. It will transport
folks from one end of the town to the
other. Tractor drivers will be needed
and volunteers are asked to contact
Bob Richmond to schedule a time.
The decorating committee reports
that they have already one business
registered for the decorating contest.
The committee has met twice and
has more dates planned for making
the bows and braids to have for sale.
They hope to have Main Street done
by Father’s Day. Decoration orders
can be placed by calling Rene at 519-
887-9340 or stopping in at
McCutcheon’s or George’s to Jo-
Ann’s. Decorations can also be
purchased at either location any time.
The Boothill Bash is receiving
confirmation of entries every day.
Riders from Aylmer, New Liskeard
and all across Ontario are looking
forward to the event. There is a
variety of events to watch and the
Celebrity Challenge is always
popular. A celebrity must have a
$100 entry fee and we are hoping for
10 celebrities. The $1,000 purse will
go to the charity of the winner’s
choice. Come on Brussels and
sponsor a celebrity of your
organization.
