No winter

on old Ball’s
Bridge
Hullett township council at its
Nov. 7 meeting instructed Road
Superintendent Jim Johnston to
install signs on the road leading to
the old Ball’s Bridge, south of
Auburn notifying the public there
will be no winter maintenance.
The old bridge has been by-pass
ed by the new Colborne-Goderich
township boundary bridge, a mile
to the south and so is not needed as
a transportation route across the
Maitland River. Huron County
council earlier voted to keep the
bridge open as a scenic route
across the river as long as major
maintenance wasn’t needed.
Mr. Johnston was also instructed
to contact Ken Dunn of B. M. Ross
and Associates to complete exam
ination of the Walkerbum bridge to
see if repairs are necessary.
The quote of Donald Nott was
accepted for snowblowing in Alma.
In other business, council con
curred with a resolution from the
City of Orillia opposing the provi
sions of Bill 8 of the provincial
government, allowing French lan
guage services to areas with a
significant French-speaking popul
ation.
Zoning changes were approved
for lands owned by Hank Reinink
changing the designations from
village residential (low density) to
village residential (low density
special provisions).

Lottery profits help hospitals.
On the night of the car accident,
Bruce was not expected to live. For
tunately, a specially equipped and
staffed trauma unit was ready and
standing by at a nearby hospital.
This special facility helped Bruce
beat the odds and he has returned
to work.
Helping hospitals is just one way
lottery profits are used.
Lottery profits are also used to
provide grants in other areas such
as helping people with disabilities.
They also help fund sports
and recreation, arts and culture,
and province-wide charities.
This is how Lottery funds are
working for you in your area.
