HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2004-12-09, Page 20(NC) — For many people,
gambling is exciting and
entertaining. They make careful
decisions about spending time and
money, where to go and how to have
fun.
The following are some ways
people gamble responsibly: .
• Gamble for entertainment, not as a
way to make money
• Balance gambling with other
leisure activities
• Only use discretionary income,
not money for everyday expenses
• Set a budget and stick to it. If you
have lost the money you budgeted
for gambling — stop
• Don't borrow money to gamble
• Avoid on-site cash machines for
additional gambling money

North Huron's official plan should
be ready for council approval at the
next meeting.
Senior planner Brian Treble
brought several minor changes forth
at the Monday night meeting, to
address recommendations suggested
primarily from the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Once the plan is approved by
council it will be forwarded to the
county's health and planning
committee, then on to county
council for endorsement. "That
decision starts the 20-day appeal
period," said Treble.
