After requesting some more
information, Huron East Council has
turned down a controversial zoning
request in the Grey Ward.
Council first heard from the
Terpstra family last month regarding
their ambitious project to create an
assembly hall on their farm property
that would host an average of eight
public events per month, including
family parties and weddings.
When the application to construct
a commercial kitchen as part of the
building came to council, members
had some doubts but didn’t want to
stand in the way of locals who
wanted to diversify their income and
bring business and visitors to the
community. At the time, the project
was likened to the Brussels Four
Winds Barn project, which some
councillors doubted in its early
stages.
Huron County Planner Denise Van
Amersfoort returned to council with
some amendments to the application
that she felt the Huron County
Planning and Development
Department could live with, though
she told council there were still
major compatibility concerns with
the plans.
She said that instead of the venue
hosting an average of eight events
per month, it was changed to a
maximum of eight per month. That
would eliminate the potential for the
venue loading up on events in the
HE quashes Grey assembly hall

Grow Huron returns
Back by popular demand, the
Hensall 4-H Club will begin
soon starting a new project,
GROW HURON 3, focusing on
direct farm-to-consumer marketing
of Huron County fruits, vegetables,
and baked and processed foods
through farm gate, retail and market
sales.
This is the third iteration of this
locally-developed 4-H project for
the Hensall 4-H club designed to
profile the bounty of Huron County
and to understand the importance
agriculture plays in the economy.
Through speakers, tours and hands-
on learning the project will look at
agriculture from production to farm
gate retail, added value through
processing and restaurants, specialty
niches, organic branding, farmers
markets and emerging new crops.
In the Grow Huron 1 and 2
projects, 4-H members especially
enjoyed the opportunity to go onto
farms, into greenhouses and tour
agribusinesses to see how different
and innovative agriculture is in
Huron County.
Grow Huron 3 will run over four
Wednesday evenings, and two
Saturday mornings starting on
Wednesday, Aug. 22 to Oct. 17.
Members will prepare a display
board featuring an Ontario fruit or
vegetable to present to family,
friends and community members at
the Achievement Day and pot luck.
The 4-H Ontario program is open
to youth between the ages of nine
and 21. It offers amazing fun
learning opportunities locally and
provincially. It is a chance to meet
new people, try new things and learn
to do by doing!
