The Lucknow Sentinel, 1987-03-25, Page 3Questionaire sent out to Township ratepayers West Wawanosh Township residents can expect a questionaire in their mailboxes in the near future concerning the open hours of the township's landfill site. West Wawanosh Township Council gave their approval at their March meeting to Tony McQuail, the landfill site supervisor, to prepare and circulate through bulk mail to West Wawanosh householders a ques- tionaire concerning changing the hours of the landfill site. The landfill site, located in West Wawanosh Township on lot 20 of Conces- sion 8, is currently open on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday's for nine months of the year. The proposal, if accepted, would see the site open on Saturdays for the remainder of the year. "Tony (McQuail) felt that there was not enough coming in on Wednesday after- noons to have the site open two days a week, so he is questioning the ratepayers on opening the site on Saturday's only," said West Wawanosh Clerk -Treasurer Joan Armstrong.

You make many new friends through the years; I know I have and I know I'll have them for many years to come. Junior Farmers is an organization that helps the community. Such as making donations to different organizations such as to the Huron County Family and Children Services in support of paying for a race canoe in Ottawa.
