THE CITIZEN,THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2009.Grey 4-Hers visit local dairy operation Blyth fire chief Paul Josling attended the North Huron council meeting Nov. 2 to ask a favour. Saying he was there on behalf of the Blyth firefighters, Josling explained that the village may be hosting the Firefighters Association of Ontario convention in 2010 and wondered if council would waive the campground fees for the weekend. This is the third time Blyth has hosted the event, held on the Civic Holiday weekend in August. The fees have been reduced the previous times. However, said Josling, “then it was Blyth, this will be the North Huron department.” The township’s two fire area boards are being disbanded in favour of an amalgamated fire service for the entire township. “All the money we make stays in the community,” said Josling. He also noted that the last conven- tion saw about 400 of the campsites used. Clerk-administrator Kriss Snell said he felt that director of facili- ties/recreation Pat Newson should be involved in any discussion. The request would be given further con- sideration at the committee of the whole, with an answer coming to Josling within the week, council decided.
