Bruce, County councillors and
department heads, will go behind
closed doors this fall for a two-day.
"visioning workshop:.
It's one of the steps in developing
the county's new official plan and
according to consultant John Ken-
nedy, will give council an idea of
what it wants the county to become
and how to achieve that goal.
"In all the municipalities where
we've done this visioning process
there was a question of the need for
it, but all of them found it helpful
and needed." Mr. Kennedy told
council.
He said that, though the
visioning session, council will state
the county's purpose in powerful,
memorable terms, then list the goals
and how they will be achieved.
"It's council's decision on the
future of the Municipality," Mr.
Kennedy said. "As elected represen-
tatives they are deciding on behalf
of the public instead of asking the
public what it thinks, as you do for
planning in general."
Finance chair Ross Herron said

War Amps Chief Executive H.
Clifford Chadderton and
Champ Karl deWit have some-
thing in common — they're
both amputees. The War Amps
was first established in 1918 to
assist amputee veterans. Now
the war amputees pass their
many years of experience along
to the younger generation
through the Child Amputee
(CHAMP) Program. Champs
receive artificial limbs, coun-
sellingand financial assistance.
What is our future? When there
are no longer . war amputees,
we will become the Canadian
Amputees Foundation, Gradu=
ates of our CHAMP Program
• will carry on The War Amps
tradition of amputees helping
amputees.
the $15,000 cost of the workshop
will be covered by an• unexpected
grant from the province. "We're
basically recommending we go
ahead with it," Mr. Herron said. "It
will be worthwhile to get
everyone's heads on the same
level." The visioning workshop will
likely be held in Kincardine or Port
Elgin in October or November.
