Huron East council reviews official plan changes
Huron East clerk-administrator,
Jack McLachlan reviewed with
council the proposed changes
recommended in the official plan
amendment No. 2 at the March 21
meeting.
He advised that the
recommendations were as a result of
the review in preparation of the
proposed zoning by-law and that a
public meeting would be held in the
very near future to discuss the
amendment and the by-law. Copies
of the proposed zoning maps will be
presented to each of the
representatives of the various boards
once they have been completed by
the county planning department.

Thirteen residents of Front Road
in Tuckersmith attended the meeting
and asked council to determine if it
was their intention to proceed to
hard top Front Road from Kippen
Road to Vanastra Road.
The group was advised that
council had called for tenders for the
hard topping of the whole of Front
Road broken down into two portions
- firstly from Kippen Road to the
green bridge and secondly from the
green bridge to Vanastra Road.
Funds had been included in the
proposed 2006 budget and the
proposal was for a tar and chip road
similar to Morrison Line. The
residents advised council that they
would hope they would proceed to
hardtop Front Road this forthcoming
construction year.

Council endorsed the resolution of
the Municipality of Durham
requesting the Government of
Ontario to take immediate action to
remove barriers to family physicians

Special to The Citizen
A pair of large hats are being
passed to those who value recreation
in Huron County, as fundraising
begins for the refurbishment of the
outdoor track at Goderich District
Collegiate Institute (GDCI) and the
gymnasium floor at Central Huron
Secondary School (CHSS) in
Clinton.
Key to the efforts is the
involvement of the Foundation for
Enriching Education Perth Huron, a
charitable organization in
partnership with the Avon Maitland
District School Board but operating
at arms-length with a separate board
of directors. Foundation executive
director Lynda McGregor delivered
her annual presentation to Avon
Maitland trustees on Tuesday,
March 28, and cited the GDCI track
who wish to relocate their medical
practices to Ontario from other
provinces.
***
Council endorsed the resolution of
the County of Grey and Owen
Sound urging the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario and the
provincial government to develop a
plan to begin to address the
municipal financial crisis, by
contributing to municipalities,
beginning in 2006, a provincial
commitment to Ontario's
as one of its key projects for 2006.
Following an earlier statement by
Goderich/Northwest Huron trustee
Emily Milley — in the "Good News"
section of the agenda — that GDCI
students recently took on the
challenge of helping raise $50,000
towards the track, McGregor noted
such a significant project can often
create a "bump" in the size of the
Foundation's annual revenues.
But she noted all the money is
only passed through the Foundation
because it has the charitable status
not afforded the school board or
secondary school, and is then
directed straight to the specific
project.
Speaking to reporters following
her presentation, McGregor
explained she's also supporting the
GDCI goal by acting as a
fundraising consultant.
Earlier in March, Avon Maitland
Municipalities, of $600 million per
year for the next five years, this
commitment will begin to address
the serious financial crisis facing
municipalities in Ontario.

A motion to support the resolution
of the City of Kawartha Lakes
requesting the provincial
government take the necessary
action to place Source Water
Protection with the piinistry of
Natural Resources was also defeated
by council.
trustees approved a Draft Capital
Plan that included a $175,000
renovation of the rubberized asphalt
track, which has been served for
over two decades as the only
suitable site for high-level track and
field meets.
Speaking to reporters on March
28, Avon Maitland business
superintendent Janet Baird-Jackson
explained corporations such as
Nike, Adidas and Bell will be
approached for financial support,
and there will be some money
coming from the school board
budget for the project — particularly
on an "up front" basis to make sure
the work gets done over the summer
of 2006, while other donations
trickle in. But the fundraising
campaign will also be key.
At CHSS, meanwhile, fundraising
is ongoing for the refurbishment of
the gym floor.
