Huron East gives $5,000 to Seaforth pool
By Heather Crawford
Citizen staff`
The Seaforth Lions Club pool will
be receiving $5,000 from Huron East
towards renovations.
The club is'hoping the pool will be
ready for the 2006 season in June.
The facility has been in operation
for 50 years and the club estimates
the cost of the renovations will be
approximately $225,000.
"We need to replace the deep end
wall, the pool decking and the
underlying water piping," a letter to
Huron East council requesting
support stated. "The pump and
filtration system will be moved
above ground to a new more
accessible building on the south side
of the pool. A new handicapped
ramp will be installed heading into
both the bath house and the
swimming area."
In addition a handicapped lift will
be installed to accommodate those
unable to walk into the water and a
set of stairs will be added for easier
access for others.
The club. has been building a
reserve for this purpose for the past
15 plus years, they said. "With our
.reserves and a provincial
government grant we anticipate
Most counties or large towns and
cities benefit from groups learning
from each other, sharing advertising
and finding ways to promote their
efforts prominently and to
contribute to the well-being and
affairs of their communities.
Currently, a volunteer group
formed as a committee of the Huron
Tourism Association, the Heritage
and Culture Partnership, is gearing
itself up to assist in that effort.
As part of that effort, a
questionnaire was published some
receiving, we will still be short of
our financial needs."
They have set a fundraising goal of
$50,000 and asked Huron East
council to donate money to help
them reach this goal. How much
money they were looking for from
council was not stated.
Several members of council made
proposals.
Tuckersmith councillor Bill
DeJong proposed not donating
anything until the renovations are
about to begin and then looking at
what was needed. "Why don't we let
this slide and then see what the
shortfall is?" he asked.
Mayor Joe Seili said this would
not be possible because the Lions
Club was looking to start building as
soon as possible.
Deputy-mayor Bernie MacLellan
suggested giving $1,000. "They
didn't say how much they are
weeks ago and the results are now
being compiled.
From 'what has been learned
thus far, they feel encouraged
that residents and the
business community support the
endeavour.
The next step is to prepare a
county-wide strategic and cultural
plan and to make it as complete and
representative as possible. These
public meetings are being held to
seek community involvement and
comment.
looking for," he said.
"I think $1,000 is pretty chintzy,"
Seaforth councillor Joe Steffler
said."
Brussels councillor David Blaney
suggested the figure of $5,000. "I
think we have to take a look at what
we donate to our other recreational
centres," he said. "The first donation
is hard to get."
McKillop councillor Sharon
McClure brought up the argument
she heard that some people won't
donate because they are donating
through their tax dollars [if the
municipality gives a large figure].
"What are the chances that the
people who use that excuse were
going to donate anyway?"
MacLellan asked.
Council decided to take $5,000 out
of the parklands reserve which had
$100,000 in it, to donate to the
pool.

The committee encourages all

heritage and cultural communities to
