Library receives funding
In Motion expands
Communitrees
in North Huron
for Culture Days
From September 24 to 26,
communities across Canada will be
celebrating Culture Days, a national
campaign to celebrate and raise
awareness of the important role that
culture plays in our lives and
communities. Here in Huron
County, a local Culture Days
Committee is inviting individuals
and organizations to participate in a
countywide public art project called
Communitrees.
What is a Communitree? A
Communitree is a public work of art
that uses a living tree as the blank
canvas. The local Culture Days
Committee challenges groups and
individuals in every community to
work together to create a public
piece of art, using a tree in a public
space, to be displayed during the
Culture Days weekend. No previous
art experience required, you can
decorate or enhance the tree in any
number of ways, just so long as the
tree is not harmed or damaged in any
way and all of your handiwork can
be easily removed at the end of
Culture Day. Use your imagination
to create a work of art that expresses
your particular community; by
hanging individually crafted pieces
from the branches, by focusing on a
particular theme such as local
history or by using multiples of a
single object such as flowers or
birds. Get creative, have fun and
celebrate the role of arts and culture
in your life and community
The local Culture Days committee
made up of representatives from the
Blyth Festival, Bayfield Town Hall,
Huron County Library and Heritage
and Culture Partnership will be
promoting the project on the
provincial and federal Culture Days
websites as well a publishing a map
showing the location of trees across
Huron County. A viewer’s choice
contest will take place during the
weekend of September 24 to 26.
Viewers will be encouraged to vote
for their favourite community trees
and prizes will be awarded to
the creators of the winning trees.
For more information on the
Communitrees project or Culture
Days please contact Rick Sickinger,
Co-ordinator of Heritage and
Culture Partnership at
519-482-5457 ext. 8 or
rsickinger@huroncounty.ca. More
public information sessions are
scheduled to take place throughout
the County during July and
August.
Huron County residents will have
more free activities to choose from
during this year’s in motion month
in October. The in motion organizing
group is broadening its partnerships
to include community organiza-
tions and for-profit businesses.
The group has, in the past, only
promoted activities of municipal
and non-profit recreation
providers.
Huron Perth in motion Co-chair,
Alycia Collins, says they are
reaching out to Huron County
businesses and organizations so that
residents will have more options to
be physically active. “We know our
communities have a wide range of
opportunities for people to get
active. By inviting organizations and
businesses that offer those
opportunities we’re better serving
the community.”
Collins says community groups
such as trail groups and cycling
clubs as well as for-profit businesses
that have physical activities can be
part of the in motion month by
agreeing to offer free sessions for the
public. In motion will then
promote those activities throughout
October.
If a business or other community
group is interested in being part of in
motion month, they can call Collins
at 519-482-3416.
Events and activities around
Huron County are listed on the
Huron Perth in motion website at
www.hpinmotion.ca or residents can
call the Huron County Health Unit at
1-877-837-6143.
The Township of North Huron
hosted Carol Mitchell, Huron-Bruce
MPP to share the news that thanks to
a recently awarded $50,000 grant
from the Ontario Trillium
Foundation (OTF), the municipality
is one step closer to improving
accessibility at the Wingham
Library.
“Libraries play an important role
in our rural communities, providing
vital resources and services for
Huron-Bruce families. I’m pleased
to announce funding today, on
behalf of the Ontario Trillium
Foundation, that will help make the
Wingham Library more accessible
to my constituents,” said Mitchell.
The $50,000 will go towards the
installation of power door-openers at
the entrance of the Wingham Library
and to replace the roof.
“The Wingham Public Library is
housed in one of the municipality’s
heritage buildings and the roof is in
desperate need of being replaced.
To maintain the heritage features of
the building we are planning cedar
shingles to replace the current roof.
With the assistance of the Ontario
Trillium Foundation Grant, it makes
it possible for the Township of North
Huron to afford this renovation and
maintain the building,” said Pat
Newson, Recreation and Facility
Director for the Township of North
Huron.
“The Township looks at
improving accessibility as a goal
that the entire community should
keep in mind during any renovation
or building upgrade. It is especially
challenging in older buildings.
Installing automatic door openers at
this site is a step toward this goal.
Work on this project is expected
to be completed by September 30,
2010.”
Town and Country Support
Services was joined by Carol
Mitchell, Huron-Bruce MPP on July
21, as she brought some welcome
news to the local community. A
recently-awarded $73,000 grant from
the Ontario Trillium Foundation will
enable Town and Country Support
Services to complete phase one of a
merger with Stratford Meals on
Wheels and Neighbourly Services
and Midwestern Adult Day Services.
Mitchell, together with OTF
representative Muriel Murphy,
presented a plaque from the
foundation to proud representatives
from the organization.
“I’m pleased to be announcing this
Ontario Trillium Foundation grant
for Town and Country Support
Services. By merging with two other
community service providers, Town
and Country will be able to provide
more effective and better-integrated
client care, resulting in a
stronger rural community,” said
Mitchell.
Town and Country Support
Services and the two organizations
with which it is merging,
Midwestern Adult Day Services and
Stratford Meals on Wheels and
Neighbourly Services are long-time
providers of in-home and community
support services in Huron, Perth and
surrounding Counties. Together, in
the past year, they delivered 317,535
units of service to more than 5,000
people. Those services included in-
home personal care, adult day
programs and community services
like meals on wheels and
transportation. Today, people will
continue to receive the same service
in the same place from the same
people. Coming together as one, will
enable this new organization to
enhance and expand services to meet
the growing needs of the population
in the future.
“We are very pleased that the
government of Ontario recognizes
our efforts. We are committed to
strengthening the individual’s ability
to live in their own home and
community,” said Dave Kemp, Chair
of Town and Country Support
Services Board of Directors.
“Coming together will also give us
administrative strength to help us
respond in a changing and
demanding health care environment.
We are delighted to receive this grant
from the Ontario Trillium
Foundation.”

project, please contact Kathy
Scanlon, Executive Director, Town

Monday, July 26 marked one year
since the death of Jason Pearson, 31

On Sunday, July 26, 2009 at
approximately 5 a.m. Jason was
struck by a vehicle just north of the
Grand Bend Motorplex on Grand
Bend Line (Hwy 81). The vehicle’s
driver left the scene and left the
victim behind.
A second motorist came upon the
victim shortly afterwards and called
for help. Unfortunately, Jason died
as a result of his injuries.
Over the course of the
investigation, the Huron OPP Crime
Unit has issued information
regarding a vehicle of interest. The
vehicle is believed to have passed the
scene and the driver may have
information regarding the collision.
The driver remains outstanding.
The vehicle of interest is described
as a dark extended cab pickup truck
that is possibly black. The truck was
pulling a large enclosed trailer with
dual wheels that was possibly silver.
The vehicle was last seen
northbound on Grand Bend Line
from the area of the hit and run. It
was heading towards Grand Bend
and its direction of travel from
Grand Bend remains unknown.
Anyone with any piece of
information, no matter how small, is
encouraged to call the Huron OPP at
1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-T.I.P.S. (8477).
