New Democrats issue challenge
Following their Election Plann
ing Committee meeting held Wed
nesday, July 11, at the Clinton
High School, Huron New Democrat
President Heather Klopp issued a
challenge to the other political
parties in Huron.
In her letter to the presidents of
the other parties Mrs. Klopp states
“We would like to challenge the
other political parties to join with
us in running a more environmen
tally friendly election campaign by
agreeing not to use Candidate
signs during the upcoming elec
tion. If we can all agree not to use
signs we can reduce the waste of
materials used to make the signs
and the visual pollution of our
highways.”
In her letter Klopp went on to say
“We would like to resolve
issue before we get into
nomination meetings. If we have
not heard from your riding associa
tion by Friday, July 27 we will
assume you are not interested in
this idea and will have to consider
other sign alternatives.”
During the discussion Klopp
pointed out that being environmen
tally friendly may mean changing
how we do things in our society.
“Now is the time to be thinking of
how we might change our election
campaigns to be gentler to the
environment” she said. In other
business it was decided to do
pre-election outreach with a leaflet
titled “When it comes to the
environment, there’s no time to
waste!”

Resource Centre was the preferred
model for Huron County. A Re
source Centre would co-ordinate
and link child/parent programs and
resources plus provide a centre for
P.H.C.C. operation. A proposal for
funding is hoped to be submitted to
the Ministry of Community and
Social Services by the spring of
1991.
“We have been told verbally that
the Ministry is prepared to assist in
implementing this service, the next
stage is to get the funding proposal
underway” said Beach. “A great
deal of community work is still to
be done to increase awareness of
the services this P.H.C.C./Re
source Centre would offer”.
Women Today has taken on this
project to date, funded through the
Goderich Employment Centre. It is
hoped that further funding will be
available to continue to make this
service a reality for Huron Countv.
