Correction
In a recent edition of the Lucknow Sen-
tinel, it was mistakenly reported that Ren
Morrison was awarded a plaque at the
West Huron Junior Farmers Banquet. In
fact, it was Ray Morrison who received the
award for being the Most Active Non -
Resident Member.
The Sentinel regrets this error.
As we celebrate this joyous
season I would like to take this op-
portunity to bring greetings from
the Ontario Legislature to all the
residents of Huron County. And, on
behalf of the Government of .On-
tario, to wish all a happy and pros-
perous New Year.
As always, I remain at your ser-
vice at Queen's Park or at my three
Riding Offices.
