County gets
grant for
planning
Huron County will receive
$30,000 in community planning
study, grants to help offset the
cost of producing official plans for
local municipalities.
County planning director Gary
Davidson said he has been
advised by the ministry of
housing that allocation of the
money has been approved.
The money will help cover the
costs of developing plans for
Grey, Colborne and Goderich
townships, the villages of
Brussels. and Zurich, and for
Vanastra, the former Canadian
Forces base near Clinton.
Mr. Dalvidson said $5,000 will
be sent to each of the six
municipalities (Vanastra's will go
to Tuckersmith Township
council), who are then expected to
forward the funds to the county.
The Huron County planning
department has prepared Or is
completing official or secondary
plans — for each of the
municipalities which are designed
to conform to the county-wide
official plan.
Mr. Davidson said grants for
two other municipalities for which
plans have been prepared
Witighain and Howick Township
— are also expected to receive
approval shortly.

Did "you know that: there are many
senior citizens' physical fitness pro-
grams that you can join (including Senior
Citizens' Olympics organized in some
Ontario communities)?
Did you know that seniors themselves
have developed many clubs and centres
fortheir own special interests, including
just about everything from gardening to
world travel?
With 1000 senior citizens' clubs here
in Ontario, as well as 90 senior citizens'
centres, there's bound to be one in your
community. What's more, there are many
special interest clubs that aren't limited
as to age—camera clubs, social clubs,
study groups, a whole range of subjects
that people who are retired now have
time for.
Through special grants and other
assistance, older people are finding the
opportunity to go back to school and
university—to develop new talents and
concentrate on new interests.
For specific information about pro-
grams and services available to senior
citizens, the Ministry of Community and
Social Services has just published
RESOURCES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS.
