Sharen said the meetings are needed to determine feelings of residents in Bosanquet and Stephen townships who would be affected if the village enlarged its boundaries. There are about eight sub- divisions out side the current boundary which have to be dealt with on an individual basis, Sharen said, but how much of each township would be involved has not been determined. "We want to fully understand what they're saying before we proceed with any adjustment. We'll be pointing out alternatives and saying 'we see it this way and we want you to comment on it.' "We hope everyone can be heard. But I can't see there being absolutely no objection to it." Sharen said the village wants to expand its boundaries because there are residents outside it who are benefiting from the village without sharing the costs. "All the growth has been outside of Grand Bend but it's the village that generated it. This adjustment is extremely im portant because I can't see Grand Bend being able to absorb all the costs in the future," The assessment is about $2 million and Sharen said with boundary changes it's possible that could be doubled, He said it's likely the two townships would lose assessment dollars. The village has asked the province to do a financial impact study on the effects to the village and the two townships but Sharen said he doesn't know when it will be ready. Although Grand Bend will probably benefit financially from the adjustment, Sharen said there are other, more important, long-term advantages. He said there are a number of people now affected by council decisions who have no say. By changing the boundaries, more people will have a chance to GIFTS GALORE — The Christmas gift for that hard to please person in your family may be at the open house and craft sale being held at ARC industries on the 8th and 9th of December in Dashwood.
