THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2006. N. Huron says no to new item auctions Business people in North Huron no longer need to worry about losing business to auctions. At its Oct. 16 meeting council passed a bylaw forbidding auction sales of new items and fundraisers that sell "home party" items from doing so in township facilities. The issue was first discussed at the Oct. 10 committee of the whole during the report of Pat Newson, director of recreation and facilities. New son explained that the recreation and facilities committee had worked with staff to develop a policy around auctions and fundraising sales. This had been initiated after a sales auction group approached the township about renting one of its facilities for a sales auction. Council has received complaints about this in the past from local business owners, however, who feel the auctions compete with them. The bylaw states now that the renters for large events may have local vendors set up displays or sales venues in areas that have been rented as long as the vendors are affiliated with the event as a sponsor. The facility manager will enforce strict guidelines as to size and location of the display and the sales area. They cannot impact the general flow of traffic or other activities in the facility. Auctions of used items or where items have been donated and where 100 per cent of the proceeds are going to a local charity or community group are acceptable. Large scale types of sales events, such as a farmers' markets must have council approval.
