Morris-Turnberry councillors at their July 17 meeting explored ways for Bluevale Recreation Committee to hold fundraising events. The issue arose after the municipality’s insurance company asked for clarification regarding coverage for Bluevale Recreation’s planned social event on July 14. The insurer wondered if Bluevale Recreation was a committee of council so that it was covered by the municipal policy. If not, the group must provide proof of insurance. If they were, then they must have an adequate number of trained servers for the alcohol to be served. In a memo to council, administrator clerk-treasurer Nancy Michie explained that Bluevale Recreation is not a committee of council but the municipality signs cheques for them and includes them in the financial statement. “It’s questionable if they are covered under our insurance because they are not a committee of council,” Michie told councillors at the meeting. However, if the group is declared a committee of council, it cannot apply for lottery licenses to raise money. While the Bluevale Hall Board is a committee of council, Bluevale Recreation is a separate organization, Michie said. Jason Breckenridge from the committee attended council to discuss the problem. Bluevale Recreation, he said, hasn’t done that much fundraising in the past but was considering doing more. If they weren’t covered by the municipality, however, he said, volunteers might feel hesitant about putting their names on liquor applications. Councillors suggested the solution might be for Bluevale Recreation to become a committee of council, then find some other organization to apply for lottery licenses and fundraise for them, with the proceeds donated to the recreation group. Deputy-mayor Jim Nelemans asked about the Bluevale Minor Sports committee which hasn’t been active. That committee could apply for the lottery licenses and turn over the money to Bluevale Recreation, he suggested. Breckenridge said he would look into that possibility and other groups that might raise money for recreation and get back to council with what seemed to be the best solution to the problem. 11 locals among Madill’s Ontario Scholars M-T explores options for Bluevale Rec fundraising The Campbells held their annual family reunion on Sunday, July 22 at the Belgrave pavilion.
