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 Total receipts for Brussels Livestock for the week ending Aug. 17 were 1,252 cattle and 1,400 lambs and goats.

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!
