parent and community engagement
survey sent directly to their e-mail.
She is working with a sub-
committee of the school council to
help better understand Hullett
Central’s parent/school connection
because all studies show that good
schools become better schools when
they are strongly connected with
parents as a valued part of their
learning community.
In the Grade 7 class they are
starting a new history unit based on
First Nation cultures. The Grade 7
students are also enjoying the
adventures of Bilbo Baggins while
listening to The Hobbit as it is read
aloud. In art, they are beginning an
Escher’s Eye activity.
This activity deals with the seven
shades scale.

Gr. 7 starts on Tolkien’s works
Members of Huron East staff
provided councillors with an update
on the Brussels Business and
Cultural Centre (the former Brussels
Public School) at their Nov. 6
meeting.
CAO Brad Knight praised
Economic Development Officer Jan
Hawley for the work she has put in to
marketing the centre outside of the
community.
“Jan has worked really hard on
this,” Knight told councillors.
Knight said there are tenants in the
building and members of the
congregation of the Brussels
Community Bible Chapel, which
hosts its weekly service at the centre
on Sundays, have been a big help in
keeping the centre clean.
Brussels Ward Councillor David
Blaney said that a committee
featuring some local faces would
help to keep the community involved
in the running of the centre. He said
that some long-term planning has to
be done to ensure that the centre
doesn’t end up as merely a rental
space in Brussels.
“There should be people with local
interests discussing the future of the
centre,” Blaney said, “they could
discuss what it could be rather than
just another rental facility.”
Mayor Bernie MacLellan
reminded councillors not to have too
lofty expectations for the centre too
soon, as it has only been open for
two months.
Hawley also showed councillors a
video from the Avon Maitland
District School Board’s website
entitled “Brussels is Open for
Business” detailing the changes that
have gone on at the centre since its
conversion from a public school just
months ago.
The link to the board’s video is
available on The Citizen’s website at
www.northhuron.on.ca
Members of staff were directed to
bring back some more information
on the potential organization of a
committee for the centre.

Voting practices
researched in HE
After discussion on council
composition, the ward system and
voting practices, Huron East
Council voted at their Nov. 6
meeting to change some areas and
stay the same in others.
The issues were first discussed
by Huron East Council earlier this
year and then sent to the
Administration Committee for its
recommendations.
At the Nov. 6 council meeting,
council received the recommenda-
tions that the composition of
council and the current ward
system remain unchanged through
the next municipal election
in 2014.
However, as for as voting,
councillors were concerned about
Huron East’s voter turnout, as it was
lower than just about every
municipality in Huron County with
various voting options beyond
traditional ballot box voting.
Councillor Nathan Marshall said
he would like to see municipal staff
investigate mail-in voting, as well
as electronic voting.
Councillor Les Falconer said that
he would like to see mail-in voting,
but that there should also be drop-in
locations where people could cast
their vote in person as well. CAO
Brad Knight said that would
included as part of the voting
package for sure.
Knight said election practices
have to be in place by the end of
2013 for the 2014 election, so the
municipality has plenty of time to
investigate and decide how to
proceed.

Huron County Warden Bernie
MacLellan was on hand for North
Huron’s Nov. 5 council meeting to
answer questions regarding the
proposed mandatory septic
inspection program that is before
Huron County Council right now.
Questions from council covered
cost and the length of the program’s
cycles.
While the questions were
answered, no new information was
presented at the meeting.
Councillor Brock Vodden said
that he believed the system was a
worthwhile one and that his support
relied on it being compulsory.
“There has been some discussion
about the compulsory part of the
plan, but it has to be compulsory,”
he said. “You can’t rely on every
resident to look after their systems
or to know what they need to do.”
The program is still being
debated at county council and
several outspoken opponents have
made presentations at local
councils, including Central Huron
and Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
during recent meetings.
