Grants approved for Seaforth Three projects in the Town. of Seaforth worth $173,000 have been approved under . the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works program, Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle, Huron -Bruce MPP Paul Klopp and Seaforth Mayor Hazel Hildebrand announced on Oct. 12. Funding will be used for the following projects: • resurfacing and painting of community ten- nis courts; • upgrading of the rear alley of Main Street; • con- struction of Brantford Street, including water services, storm and sanitary sewers. These projects, which will create an estimated 104 person - weeks of employment, should be completed by the end of Novem- ber 1994. "With the funding of these Seaforth projects, the three levels of government have cooperated to enhance the basic infrastruc- ture, create jobs and make a difference in the lives of Seaforth residents." said Steckle. "The infrastructure program has allowed Seaforth to bring both hard and soft services up to municipal standards. These ser- vices, while important to the neighbourhood, have been con- tinuously cut from past budgets due to lack of funding," said Hildebrand. Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works is a $2.1 billion shared - cost program designed to create jobs through local projects which will improve the province's infrastructure and therefore its competitive position. Canada, Ontario, and local partners are each contributing one-third of the project funding. The program, which is expected to create up to 37,000 direct and indirect jobs, is a positive example of the federal, provincial and local levels of government working co- operatively to foster economic development and growth. United Way benefits Seaforth A Seaforth organization is among the 19 agencies to receive funding from the United Way in Huron. Throughout the year Huron United Way assists more than 3,000 people. But the United Way estimates another 3,000 have needs that cannot be serviced due to lack of funds. This year the United Way hopes to raise more than $130,000, a 10 per cent increase over last year. Donations have been on the increase since their $40,000 campaign in 1991. But because they are relatively new to the area, donations per capita are 80 per cent below average in Ontario, says a United Way brochure. Chris Bruxer, Chairperson of Child Find Huron County says, "We use the money from the United Way for our new office in town and to purchase supplies for kid checks. "You are never sure how much you are going to receive until the campaign is over, you hope it will be the same or more than last year. You just keep your fingers crossed." Child Find of Huron County is an information based safeguard for children and adults against abduction. The United Way is a non-profit, volunteer organization, that conducts an annual fund-raising canvass on behalf of member agencies in Huron County. The United Way uses volunteer panels of highly respected community leaders to conduct an independent analysis of the financial needs of each member agency. And based on their findings, a formula is developed to ensure funds are distributed according to the priority of need within Huron County, says the brochure. Donations can be made to the United Way by cash, cheque, pledge or payroll deduction. All funds that are received by member agencies are to be spent within Huron County. The donations help to make life better for 500 seniors, 1,200 youth, 600 people who are mentally or physically challenged and 900 others with various other needs, says the United Wav brochure. The following is a list of the 19 charitable organizations thAt4eceive funding from the Huron United Way. •Big Brotjuers:-and- Big Sisters South Huron •Big Sisters Goderich District •Canadian Mental Health Association • Child Find Huron County ' Clinton Co-op Childcare Centre •Epilepsy Ontario - Huron • Family Services Perth - Huron 'Girl Guides ' Huron Adult Day Centre •Huron County Community Child Abuse Co-ordinating Committee • Huron Safe Homes for Youth • Lambton Elderly Outreach •North Huron Big Brothers •Phoenix of Huron Second Stage Housing •Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) •Wheels Away •Wingham and District Community Living Association •Women's Shelter and Counseling Services of Huron •Women Today - Parent Education For more information on the Huron United Way or how to make a donation call 482-7643. out trip will be at the back of the church Oct. 9 and Oct. 15 and then sent to the government.
