ship residents will be charged $25
for Tax Certificate information
including property taxes, zoning,
outstanding accounts, and drain
age information unless they are
requesting information on their
own property.
Property maintenance was a
concern at council as tenders were
called for grass cutting at the
cemeteries and ball diamonds, and
for installation of the Londesboro
drain. Tenders were accepted from
Brian Gross to cut the Ebenezer
•Cemetery for $10 an hour, Michelle
Dillon to cut the Kinburn Cemetery
at $7 an hour and from Shane Snell
to cut the two ball diamonds and
the Londesboro cemetery for $16 an
hour. John Raithby will cut the
grass in the Auburn Ball Park and
the remaining three cemeteries will
be taken care of by Lawnmaster.
Council accepted the withdrawal
of appeals on the Londesboro drain
from Ken and Betty Hulley and
Russell and Margaret Good. The
benefit assessment is to be reduced
by $200 on the main drain to each
of the parties.
Speaking of parties, the council
decided to place a horse-drawn
float featuring Peter Macdonald
and Kerrie Shepherd (local figure
skating celebrities) in the Brussels
Fun Fest parade. The costs of the
float will be shared by Hullett and
Grey townships.

Minor repairs and maintenance will
be free to individuals.
Free labour will be provided by
Doncaster Medical. The Wingham
Lion’s Club had donated money to
recover the cost of repairs to the
individuals. The Royal Canadian
Legion Ladies Auxiliary are donat
ing the lunch for the workers and
volunteers. The Wingham Boy
Scouts will be on hand to give a
shine to the wheelchairs when the
repairs are finished. All these
donations of both money and
energy are greatly appreciated. It
is this kind of community support
that makes clinics like this possi
ble.
The purpose of the clinic is to
prevent the premature replacement
of wheelchairs by providing the
opportunity for regular mainten
ance. Wheelchairs need regular
maintenance checkups similar to a
bicycle or car, to keep them in good
working order. Displays of special
ized equipment will be available for
anyone who is interested. If there is
some special equipment that you
would like to take a look at, please
give us a call and we can arrange to

Margaret Rickert, Area Councillor, Alma, Ontario
Alma Area Councillor, Margaret Rickert, is one of a growing number of municipal leaders to
endorse Retail Postal Outlets. Over ninety percent of our customers say service at Retail Postal
Outlets is as good as or better than the former post office.
COMMUNITY BENEFITS
In many rural communities across Canada, where postal services have been converted to a local
business, community leaders appreciate the benefits the town receives from increased access
to postal products and services.
Overall the change from a corporately-operated post office to a Retail Postal Outlet run by local
business means:
Longer hours of service, often including weekends and evenings.
More outlets. Over the next few years the number of outlets will grow
from 5,000 to 7,000 across rural Canada.
More business. Retail outlets, operated as part of a local business,
help strengthen the business base of the community.
Canada Post Corporation is delivering on its promise.
We’re in rural Canada to stay.
