The Belgrave Seniors Community
Club meeting for Dec. began with a
Christmas turkey dinner enjoyed by
many members and their guests. The
president, Muriel Coultes,
welcomed all and read, “T’was the
Night after Christmas”.
Nancy Jardin thanked Marilyn
Freiburger and her helpers for a
lovely meal. Muriel donated a red
poinsettia to decorate the hall over
the holiday period, and thanked
everyone who brought donations forthe Food Bank.Ron Taylor announced that thearena board will have a soup andsandwich lunch on Dec. 12. Happybirthday and happy anniversary wassung to those celebrating inDecember. The name of Lillian
Campbell will be submitted to be
entered in the Book of
Remembrance.
The next meeting will be on
Friday, Feb. 4.
A program of musical
entertainment was provided by Ethel
Adams and Arnold Bruce.
The table decorations provided by
Nancy Jardin were won by 10 lucky
people. The program concluded by
singing, “We Wish you a Merry
Christmas”.
Morris-Turnberry councillors gave
permission, at their inaugural
meeting Dec. 7, for staff to prepare a
report on installing water meters in
Belgrave.
Nancy Michie, administrator
clerk-treasurer, told council a grant
is available that would pay for two-
thirds of the cost of the meters,
which was estimated at $300-$500
per meter.
“We’ve had calls from people who
think they pay too much because
they don’t use a lot of water,” Mchie
said.
Councillors generally were
skeptical about the idea.
“Will (homeowners) see another
charge as a slap in the face?”
wondered Deputy-Mayor Jason
Breckenridge about covering the
additional cost.
Michie said there is $42,000 in a
capital reserve that might be used to
buy the meters if that was found
feasible.
“That might be a better way,” said
Councillor Jamie McCallum. “A lot
of people were up in arms during the
election campaign.”
Councillor Neil Warwick
suggested the costs would rise much
higher by the time the meters were
installed, with things such as
plumbing inspection fees.
Michie said the only cost at this
point in preparing a report is staff
time. North Huron wants to co-
operate on behalf of water users on
its side of the village and she would
meet with their representative and a
supplier.
“I see it as something else that’s
likely going to be pushed on us in
the future,” said Mayor Paul
Gowing.
