Village puts on a fresh face for the Jamboree weekend The village of Lucknow is putting on a fresh face for Jamboree '83. Main street storefronts and village houses are getting a new coat of paint. Many businesses and homes are sporting Canada's flag and the Village is paving the approaches to Caledon- ian Park where many of the Jamboree activities will take place. Village council was notified last week their application for supplementary funding of $15,000 was approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. This additional funding makes it possible to pave the entrances to the park in time for the Jamboree. The Village earlier received approval from MTC for its 1983 road program, which includes the road construction and storm sewers on Gough Street from the Nine Mile River to Outram Street and South Delhi Street from Bob Street east. The road program is estimated to cost a total of $106,000 including the park entran- ces, with the village responsible for half. The MTC subsidy totals $75,000 including the supplementary funding, of which $50,200 is slated for construction and $24,800 for maintenance. The tender of Sid Bruinsma Excavating, Goderich was accepted. Gough Street is ready to pave and the approaches to the park were completed early this week.
