Representatives of the Blyth
Business Association have an open
invitation to attend council meet
ings to report, on a monthly basis,
any developments.
Carol Irwin and Don Scrimgeour
attended the Oct. 27 meeting of
council to request that they be
included on the regular agenda.
"We feel as a BBA we are on a roll.
To be an active member of the
community, we would like to be on
the agenda so that we can act as
occasions arise and activities need
to be planned," Mr. Scrimgeour
said.
Reeve Dave Lee expressed his
and council's appreciation to them
for the the accomplishments the
BBA has made to date.
Councillor Mason Bailey said,
"If the business community has
programs in mind that require
council's assistance, they would be
welcome. We do need more activi
ty"
Mr. Scrimgeour agreed saying it
is very important that businesses
and council work together, adding
that they would like to see the vil
lage join the BBA as a member,
something Councillor Steve Spar
ling said seemed logical. Cost of
membership is $25 for service
members and $50 for retail mem
bers.
Before leaving, Mr. Scrimgeour
outlined briefly the BBA's plans for
kicking off its Christmas promo
tion. The date of the festivities will
be Nov. 25.

a salt/sand storage shed.
A tender had also been received
form Blyth Construction, but the
one from Domm in the amount of
$46,665.91 including the $2,000

estimate had been set for the
building at $40,000. Written

told council. Also, she said, council
had requested additional funds if
available in September, but there
has not been response as yet.
When Councillor Mason Bailey
expressed concern that the estimate
was higher than the figure council
had requested, he was told that the
GST rebate of 57.14 per cent would
bring the cost down closer to the
original price. "There is a
flexibility to switch back and forth.
If we're $1,000 short there it's just
one less light pole, basically,"
Reeve Dave Lee explained.
"We can make it fit our budget,"
said Ms Grubb.
With these reassurances
Councillor Bailey voted in favour
