Hensall youths injured in crash The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority has received final approval and a grant of $5,700 from the province for establishment of a park on the Bayfield River, east of Highway 4 at the Clinton town limits. The approval was announced by Leo Ber- nier, minister of natural resources and Huron MPP, Charlie MacNaughton.
