Feds invest in economic growth
SEAFORTH — Huron-Bruce MP Paul
Steckle announced a federal govern-
ment investment of $320,350 to the
Huron Business Development
Corporation (HBDC) in Seaforth.
Of the total, $250,000 will go to the
HBDC’s Community Future
Development Corporation’s operations,
while $70,350 is for a new knowledge-
based initiative supported by the CFDC.
“Through providing community eco-
nomic development support, loans and
advice to businesses in Huron County
over the last nine years, the Huron
CFDC has had a major impact on the
local economy,” Steckle stated.
The HBDC is one of 56 Community
Futures Development Corporations in
Ontario funded by Industry Canada’s
Community Futures Program, which
delivers a wide range of programs and
services to support community eco-
nomic development and small business
growth.
“This funding will enable the HBDC to
build on the strengths of the regional
economy and create jobs,” says
Secretary of State (Rural Development)
Andy Mitchell.
“Community Futures Development
Corporations are a prime example of
how the government of Canada works
with partners at the local level to foster
diversity and encourage the growth of
the knowledge-based economy sector.”
In the last five years, the CFDC has
successfully invested more than $1.7
million through loans and business
counselling services to create or main-
tain 803 jobs in the area. Last year, the
CFDC invested $175,000, contributing
to an enhanced business community.
“We are delighted with this
announcement as it allows us to con-
tinue playing a lead role in economic
development in this area and work
closely with the small business sector
to create jobs and new opportunities,”
says HBDC president Nancy Hines.

been elected vice-presi-
dent of a provincial orga-
nization representing top
financial administrators
within the province’s
Catholic school system.
Nicholson was elected
Oct. 9 at a meeting of the

Nicholson will serve for
the 2002-03 term.
Huron-Perth manage-
ment superintendent
Gerry Thuss, who serves
on OCSBOA’s finance

indicative of the work she

active in the organization
for quite a few years,"
Thuss explained.
This year’s OCSBOA
president is David Visser

District School Board.
Visser was vice-president
last year, and Thuss sug-
gested there’s a good like-
lihood Nicholson will also
