The student council has planned
a couple of activities to help build
Christmas spirit. A room
decorating contest and candy grams
have been organized. Students can
also purchase a small ornament for
the giving tree and the proceeds
will go to a charitable organization.
There is much work to be done
before the holidays, but everyone is

A public meeting was held prior
to the Nov. 29 session of West
Wawanosh council to discuss mat
ters concerning the new municipal
drain at Lots 24 and 25. Cone. 5.
As a result of the talks, it was
decided the drain would run
through John Thompson’s property
and outlet at the line adjacent to
Ken Leddy’s at South Part Lot 25,
Cone. 5.
The decision to fill in a 200-
metre ditch on Joanne Sproul's
property would be optional. If the
ditch was filled, a hickenbottom
costing $1,200 would be installed
with the costs shared between
affected property owners Sproul,
Roger Pannabecker and Bernard
Boyle. While Thompson and Leddy
do not require a permanent
laneway, Sproul will make her
decision at the time of construction
so a corrugated steel pipe can be
installed.
The drain will be called Cook-
Leddy Municipal Drain.
Council granted $1,000 to the
Brookside Public School junior
playground equipment fund for the
replacement of unsafe equipment.
It is payable on proof of purchase.
Authorization was given for the
payment of road and general
accounts in the amounts of
$6,116.38 and $24,015.15.
The landfill site supervisor will
be paid a flat rate of $55 during the
winter.
Council concurred with a petition
from Goderich Twp. council asking
the provincial government to take
action to ensure a greater degree of
consistency in nutrient manage
ment planning across the province.
Support was given to a petition
from Hanover asking the federal
Shed burns
in Morris
and provincial governments to
make a concerted effort to address
problems in medical funding, medi
cal school enrollment and training
and the provision for an adequate
number of physicians in all set
tings; rural, urban and northern
communities.
