East Wawanosh
to open bridge
tenders May 31
Tenders for the construction of
the new bridge on the 10th
Concession of East Wawanosh
Township will be opened at the
next regular meeting of council, on
May 31.
Originally council had planned
to open the tenders at a special
meeting on May 24, but the date
has been extended in order to
obtain the necessary approval for
the project from the Ontario
Municipal Board (0MB) under the
Navigable Waters Act.
Inlate April, East Wawanosh
Council passed an enabling bylaw
to permit construction of the new
three-span bridge which will re
place the present structure, which
was built in 1911.
Council was notified last month
that it will receive provincial grants
in 1988-89 of at least $865,000 on
the bridge replacement, estimated
to cost $1,162,100, while the
township will contribute $235,000
over the next two years.
In other business, council has
agreed to a suggested name
change for Concession 6-7, which
will now be called “Nature Centre
Road,’’ in recognition of the
Wawanosh Nature Centre located
on it.
New road signs will be installed
on Highway 4 later this year, and
the Ontario Ministry of Transpor
tation and Communication has
given local councils the task of
selecting the names they want on
the signs.
“Image is everything,” said
Reeve Ernie Snell in approving the
new name.
At the same meeting, council
indicated it had no objections to the
Belgrave Kinsmen Club obtaining
a special occasion permit for a ball
tournament to be held July 15, 16
and 17atthe Belgrave Kinsmen
Park.
Kinsman Larry Robinson of
Belgrave, who attended the coun
cil meeting, was told that council
would provide all the necessary
letters of approval in applying for
the permit.
In answer to a question from
Reeve Snell, Mr. Robinson said
that the club has its own insurance
coverage for the event.
