New faces attend Legion supper
At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The Friday night supper of ham
and scalloped potatoes at the
Brussels Legion was enjoyed by
over 45 diners. It was a great mix of
regular diners and some new faces.
We welcome anyone to attend.
This week is Sandra Josling's
famous goulash. That's always
popular.
The fish fry crew was off to
Stratford on Saturday to serve up
dinner to 170 hungry fish lovers. On
duty this time were John and Julie
Harrison, Eric Ross and Deb
Trollope and Pete Exel. They were
busy but got the job done. Great
work folks.
The Branch has been asked to
provide the food at the beer gardens
at the August long weekend fastball
tournament. We will need lots of
people to help, so call Jo-Ann to
volunteer for a shift.
We send out get-well wishes to
Comrade Alf Sutton who has been a
patient in Listowel hospital.
It's still business as usual at
Snedden Insurance Brokers Ltd. in
both Brussels and Stratford.
Although there may be some
confusion regarding the story about
the merge between Maitland Valley
Financial and Sholdice Insurance
printed in the June 17 issue of the
The Citizen, Snedden Insurance
Brokers Ltd. has not changed its
insurance company and will
continue to serve the both
communities with their 20 years of
experience.
Snedden specializes in farm,
commercial, property and
automobile insurance.
In 1993, Snedden Insurance
bought Maitland Valley Insurance,
then in 2002, Snedden sold their
Stratford and Brussels operations to
the DKC Group and continues today
to ensure their clients needs are well
serviced.

Special to The Citizen
Following through on a major
capital expenditure process which
was approved in principle a year
ago, the Avon Maitland District
School Board accepted the low bid
from ICORR Construction, for the
consolidation of maintenance
facilities to a central location
alongside the board's administrative
offices in Seaforth.
The $635,000 project "will house
the maintenance team in one central
location to facilitate more efficient
response to schools' needs and free
up, for student use, the Stratford
Northwestern Secondary School lab
space currently being.-used by half
of the maintenance team," states a
report delivered to trustees at a
regular meeting, Tuesday, June 22.
The building will be attached to
FROM BRUSSELS
the southeastern portion of the
former Seaforth District High
School building, which is home not
only to the board's administrative
offices, but is also celebrating its
second anniversary as the relocated
home of Seaforth Public School.
Extra office space has been
included in plans for the
maintenance facility, "in the event
that we need existing Seaforth
Public School space" as phase-in
occurs for the government-
mandated cap on Primary class
sizes.
Maintenance staff currently
utilizes one Seaforth Public School
classroom for office space.
The funding mechanism for the
project — with financing provided
through access to Facility Renewal
Fund grants over a 20-year period
— was approved a year ago, on
June 24, 2003.
