Brussels Leo Club hopes to refurbish playgrounds
Huron East Councillor and
Brussels Leo Club leader Zoellyn
Onn says the recently-reinvigorated
youth club has some lofty ambitions
for the coming years with hopes of
refurbishing the village’s
playgrounds.
Onn mentioned the club’s plans at
Huron East Council’s April 2
meeting, asking council’s
permission to investigate options for
improved playground equipment at
the Optimist Ballpark and
conservation area playgrounds, with
the hopes of installing a splash pad
at the former to complement the
Brussels Pool.
She told councillors that she had
no idea how much it would cost or
how long it would take the club to
raise the money, but it’s important to
the members, so she wanted to do
what she could to lay the
groundwork for the initiative.
Mayor Bernie MacLellan warned
against overloading the community
with fundraising requests just as
those behind the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Community Centre
renovation and expansion are
preparing to go out into the
community looking for donations.
Onn acknowledged the timing,
saying that the Leo Club members
know that it might not be the best
time, but that they’re willing to stick
with the project for as long as it
takes.
The project was spurred along,
Onn said, after she attended the PRO
(Parks and Recreation of Ontario)
Educational Forum and Trade Show
in Toronto and saw what was
available in the province and how it
could serve Brussels and its youth
and that’s where the idea for the
playgrounds came from.
In an interview after the meeting,
Onn said the Leo Club members
have been thinking about a grand
project for the village for a while and
improving its aging playground
infrastructure only made sense.
She said that members wanted to
ensure that they helped improve the
community centre in their own way
as well, so they will be careful not to
overlap. However, after the club’s
success in establishing the sports pad
years ago, they felt there was no
reason they couldn’t improve the
playgrounds the way they wanted to.
Onn said she has been encouraged
by the enthusiasm of the group and
will do everything she can to help
them along. In speaking with
members, Onn said that it’s all about
completing the project at hand. If it
takes them a number of years to raise
the money, she said, they’ll stick
with it.
The club has a number of events
planned for the next few months.
After its Easter activities, funds from
which are earmarked for Christopher
Pennington’s annual kidney walk, all
money raised by the Leos will go
towards their playground project,
says Onn.
The club is hosting an Easter egg
hunt to coincide with the Brussels
Lions Club breakfast on Sunday,
April 14. One- to four-year-olds are
welcomed to hunt for eggs between
9-10 a.m., while five- to seven-year-
olds will search from 10-11 a.m.
outside the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre.
The club is also planning a
MuchMusic video dance in July.

that means everyone, and not just
veterans of World War I and World
War II.
“There is history before then we
promote and more modern
conflicts and servicemen we make
sure to honour as well,” Mitchell
said.
The Legion Branch is also home
to the Brussels Cadet Corp and has a
relationship with the organization
that other Branch commanders
are often impressed by, Mitchell
said.
“We’ve always had a good rapport
with the cadets,” he said. “Other
commanders say they wish they had
that.”
Aside from being a program that
inspires and teaches respect and
integrity, the Cadet program also
encourages graduates to continue
with their home Legion branches,
Mitchell said.
“We’ve had members come
through the program and they’re
great to have,” he said. “It’s a good
way to grow up and a great way to
learn and just a great partnership
over all.”
