The PURPOSE of the public meeting is to consider the proposed amendment to the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to add the Structural Grant Program, a new incentive program that would allow applicants proposing significant structural work and met criteria for improving accessibility, safety, energy efficiency, and increasing mixed use of commercial/residential to be eligible for available funding. The EFFECT of the CIP amendment is to add a second grant program for eligible applicants and provide financial incentives for investment in rehabilitation, development and redevelopment of the buildings within the commercial areas of downtown Wingham and Blyth. A section describing the Grant for Structural Work, its intent for a successful application, and eligibility criteria would be added to the CIP and the corresponding North Huron CIP Application would also be amended to reflect the second program. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed CIP amendment. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of North Huron at the address below before the proposed CIP amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of North Huron to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, and may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so. IF YOU WISH TO BE NOTIFIED of the adoption of the CIP amendment, or the refusal to adopt the CIP amendment, you must make a written request to the Clerk of the Township of North Huron at the address below and such request must include the name and address to which such notice should be sent. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Text showing the proposed amendments to the Community Improvement Plan are available on the Township website (www.northhuron.ca) and at the municipal office (274 Josephine Street, Wingham).

NEWS FROM BLYTH By Marilyn Craig Call 523-9318 From Marilyn’s Desk Wash & Fold Services Blyth Laundromat 191 Westmoreland St., Blyth 519-523-9687 Greeting and ushering worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday , Sept. 22 was Nicole Layton. Susanna Lyman was guest pianist, Katie Dockstader, choir director and John Stewart ran the power point. Rev. David Kai, guest speaker, welcomed everyone to church. David Onn announced that there are still tickets for the fall supper on Oct. 19. Tickets are available from any of the Board of Stewards members or at Nicole’s Hairstyling. Next Sunday will be a joint service with Brussels United at Brussels at 11 a.m. It was also announced that the UCW meeting on Thursday, Sept. 26 would be at the home of Emily Phillips at 1:30 p.m. Anyone needing a ride can call Joan Clark at 519-523-9659. The Holy Rollers are back in action in October. October orders are already full. You can order by calling Donna Moore at 519-523- 9855 to place an order for November. Katie Dockstader informed the congregation that choir practice is starting for the fall for an hour after the church service. Anyone is invited to come out and join the choir. Rev. Kai lit the Christ candle on the altar table and he invited everyone to greet one another. He told the congregation that most of the things that are written about Jesus are when He was an adult. Jesus likely went to school and worked alongside His parents. The Gospel of Luke tells us that Jesus grew in both body and wisdom. The children’s hymn was “Jesus Loves Me.” Rev. Kai’s message to the congregation was, “Who Do You Say I Am?” We have many images of Jesus. The most famous one is the portrait of Jesus. Some of the popular ones are of Jesus blessing the children, Jesus at the Last Supper and Jesus calming the waters. The next hymn, “Jesus, Teacher, Brave and Bold”, was sung. The offering was received followed by the offertory response, “What Can I Do?”, the offertory prayer, the prayers for the people, silent prayers and the singing of the Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”, was sung. The commissioning and benediction were followed by the singing of the hymn, “Wherever You May Go, I Will Follow”. Everyone was invited for coffee and fellowship after the service. Joint Brussels-Blyth service set The inside scoop A talk-back for Mark Crawford’s Bed and Breakfast was held in the lower hall of Blyth Memorial Hall last Friday.
