Board of Education gets many new faces
The Huron County Board of
Education will have a new look when
it convenes on December 5 for its
1988-89 Inaugural Meeting, with six
new faces on the 16-member board,
up two trustees from the 1987
up two trustees from the 1987-88
HCBE.
Part of the new look is the result of
a new formula governing public
school trustee distribution across
the province, the result of Bill 125
which was given Royal Assent last
June and which provides for distri
bution on the basis of support
population rather than on fotal
property tax assessment, as was the
case formerly. Huron’s new elector
al boundaries meant that all but four
of the old school board’s electoral
districts changed at last Monday’s
municipal elections.
The addition of two trustees is the
result of a motion passed by the
HCBElastJune to take advantage of
an amendment to Bill 125, secured
by the Ontario Public School Trus
tees’ Association (OPSTA), to per
mit boards to increase or decrease
their total board size by one or two
trustees at the next municipal
election. The loss of two of its
trustees in 1987, the result of full
funding for separate schools in the
province, had long rankled with the
Huron board, which voted unani
mously to raise its total strength to 16
again.
The new members of the HCBE
East Wawanosh
history
committee
meets Thursday
The East Wawanosh History Book
Committee will hold its first meeting
of the new season tomorrow night
(Thursday) at the township’s muni
cipal building on County Road 20.
Anyone who is interested in the
production of the publication is
urged to attend the meeting, while
any present or former East Wawa
nosh resident who has not yet
submitted a family history is urged
to get their material in as quickly as
possible, says Marie Toll of RR 3,
Blyth, the president of the New
Horizons committee which is re
sponsible for the book.
Mrs. Toll said that over the past
summer, committee members de
livered a form for the outline of
family history to every home in the
township, as well as to former
residents wherever possible. The
histories were supposed to have
been returned by October 31, she
added, but noted that a number
had not yet come back.
Cliff Coultes of RR 1, Belgrave has
volunteered to co-ordinate the mas
sive project, and one item of
business at Thursday’s meeting will
be to select a book production
committee, as well as to set the
agenda for the actual production of
the book, the release of which will
coincide with the township’s sesqui-
centennial in 1992. It will be the first
update of the history published in
1967 to mark the East Wawanosh
Centennial, and will likely be much
larger and more ambitious than the
1967 volume, Mrs. Toll said.
Up to $9,000 may be available to
the committee through a provincial
New Horizons grant, butthe funding
must be used within 18 months of an
application’s approval, which makes
the timing of the next several stages
of production critical, Mrs. Toll says.
Thursday’s meeting gets under
way at 7:30 p.m. Further informa
tion may be obtained by calling Mrs.
Toll at 523-9689; committee chair
man Robert Charter at 523-9546; or
secretary Marian Hallahan at 523-
9330.
