Planting partners
Cub leader David Sparling and 10-year-old Russell
Bromley, a member of the Blyth Scouts, were among
approximately 20 Scouts, leaders and parents out planting
trees at Henry Rouw’s farm at RR 2, Blyth. The group
planted between 1500 and 2000 trees on the property as
part of the Scouts 'Trees for Canada' campaign. Since
1972, this campaign has involved the planting over 40
million trees with three million more trees being planted
every year. The tree-planting is also educational for the
Scout groups says chairperson of the 1st Blyth Group
Committee, Joan Clark.
Advisory council on women's
issues seeks new members
For the first time in its 19-year
history, the Ontario Advisory
Council on Women's Issues is seek
ing new members through nomina
tions from the public.
A community-oriented mandate,
a public nomination process and a
grassroots membership are among
the leading recommendations heard
by the Council during its province
wide consultations with women last
fall. These consultations were
launched to find ways of improving
communications between women
and the Ontario government.
With three members from the
northwest, three from the northeast,
and two from each of the south
west, central, east and Metro
Toronto regions, the membership
will reflect Ontario's diversity as
widely as possible. Individuals or
groups within each region will
nominate 14 of the 15 candidates,
helping to ensure a representative
and locally sensitive Council. Only
the Chair will be selected through
the usual appointment process - by
the Premier in consultation with the
Minister.
Ms. Boyd said that having Coun
cil members nominated by and
working closely with the women in
their region will result in “practical
advice from people who have real-
life experiences and who know
their own issues. Communication
always improves when women are
familiar with and have confidence
in those who represent them.”
Through the Minister, Council
members are to advise the govern
ment on issues important to
women, including economic,
social, legal and equity issues.
Over the next two months, nomi
nations will be encouraged from
women who have community
involvement, a knowledge of
regional concerns and experience in
advocating for equality. Nomina
tion forms and information pack
ages will be distributed throughout
the province shortly.
Librarians want Belgrave library closed
Several representatives of the
Huron County Library Board were
present at the April 21 meeting of
Morris council to discuss the pro
posed closure of the Belgrave
library.
Chairman John Doherty, board
members Bill Bennett and Isabel
Elston and Chief Librarian Beth
Ross gave council their reasons for
deciding to close the branch, due to
the costs involved and the lack of
available funding.
Ms Ross advised that about 2000
books are in Belgrave, valued at
$20,000-$30,000. The wages and
rent are about $3,000 a year.
If council does not pass a resolu
tion to close the branch, they were
told, then service at another library
would have to be cut. The commit
tee also noted that circulation of
books has not increased in Bel
grave over the last few years.
After the committee left the
meeting, council asked that a letter
be sent to the board advising that
Morris does not plan to pass a reso
lution to close the Belgrave Library
branch.
Dave Reed, Keith Mulvey and
Doug Sholdice representatives of
Frank Cowan Insurance Company
were present to review the munici
pal insurance for 1992-93.
Council accepted the proposal
with the addition of the excess lia
bility insurance to increase the limit
of liability from $10,000 to
$15,000 with respect to the Munici
pal Liability, Errors and Omissions
Liability, Non-Owned Automobile
and Owned Automobile policies.
Council had no objections to the
residents of East Part of Lots 59,
60, Plan 313 in Walton, using the
unopened road allowance adjacent
to their property, until it is required
for roadway.
Deputy-Reeve Clem McLellan
declared a pecuniary interest
regarding a drain petition submitted
by his son Carl for repair of the
McDonald drain on South Part Lot

rial for the repair at a lesser charge.

wick, Lot 16, Cone. 2 was accept

Council accepted and approved
the total expenditure of the 1992
budget for the Brussels Recreation
in the amount of $222, 035.89.
There is a recommendation that
$4,000 allocated to the develop
ment of the seven-acre parcel of
land need not all be spent on the
development of that property.
The Ministry of the Environment
will be contacted regarding a
manure spill on Cone. 4, next to the
Belgrave Creek. The landowner
will be advised not to spray manure
on the roadway.

grave will be closed on July 4 for
the duration of the 125th anniver

. A photo-copier will be purchased
for the municipal office at a price
of $2,895. The present copier will
be sold to the Walton-Bluevale
Pastoral charge for $300.
A motion was made to process a
zoning by-law amendment at the
time of another re-zoning applica
tion so that Lot 16, Cone. 6 can be
established in the zoning by-law.
This parcel of land was missed in
the 1989 by-law.
Ontario Hydro will be advised
that Morris is not interested in ren
ovating the street lights in Walton
at this time.

Jack Coultes for repair of the Pipe
drain at North Part Lot 22, Cone. 6
was accepted.
