Brussels promotion dinner
planned Nov. 18
The Brussels, Morris and Grey
Industrial Committee will unveil
its promotional video on the three
municipalities at a dinner at the
BMG Community Centre Nov. 18
(notNov. 17 as indicated in The
Citizen last week).
Tim Roberts of the Economic
Development Commission of
Ridgetown will be guest speaker.
He’ll talk about the importance of
everyone in the community help
ing to promote the community.
Leona Armstrong, Reeve of
Grey Township and member of the
committee, said committee mem
bers are hoping a good turnout
from the community will take part.
Those interested in taking part in
preparations for the Sept. 1988
Brussels council
hires
Hugh Nichol
For the first time in several
weeks the Brussels PUC and public
works staff is fully manned after
Brussels council and PUC in joint
session hired Hugh Nichol to fill a
vacancy on the staff.
There had been a complete
turnover in the two-person PUC-
Public Works staff after both
foreman David Hastings and John
Pipe had resigned. Earlier Don
Crawford had been hired to fill one
post but another candidate from
the same pool had turned down the
second position and the village had
made a new advertisement for
applications.
That method of advertising
threatened some heated moments
at the council meeting Oct. 6.
Reeve Gordon Workman said he
had told village staff to leave a
decision on placing advertise
ments seeking the second position
until after he had returned from a
trip to Toronto. He said he had
been against offering the second
man on the list the second empty
position in the first place.
Donna White, assistant clerk
treasurer, said both she and Cierk-
treasurer Hugh Hanly had mis
understood the Reeve’s directions
if that was the case. They said they
had talked to the Reeve again on
the Monday after he had returned
from Toronto and understood they
were to place the advertisements.
She said they felt it was the fairest
way of filling the vacancy.
Councillor Malcolm Jacobs end
ed any potential conflict by saying
the job had been advertised, the
applications had been received and
they might as well get on with it.
The applications were opened
and the councillors and PUC
member Henry Exel quickly
agreed that Mr. Nichol was their
choice and he was offered the
Opportunity Tour preparations are
also welcome to volunteer at that
time. The tour will bring interested
overseas investors to Huron county
as well as Middlesex, Perth, Grey
and Bruce county. The province
will organize the tour and Huron
County will pay the costs while the
group is in Huron (likely for two
days). It is up to local municipali
ties that want to take part to
assemble information about local
business opportunities and infor
mation on community support
services, etc.
Reeve Armstrong said if the
community is to take part in the
tour, which she called “Too good
an opportunity to pass up”, it will

Showing their enthusiasm for the new instrumental music classes soon to begin at Brussels Public School,
the teaching staff undertook the purchase of the program’s first instrument, a clarient. Making the
