Huron .East pares down municipal grant budget
Susan Hundertmark
Huron East council shaved sever-
al thousand dollars from its munici-
pal grants in 2006, agreeing to
$17,204 after budgeting from
$24,000.
At a recent meeting, council dis-
continued its $200 grant for a geog-
raphy award at Central Huron
Secondary School, with councillors
remarking that students from
Huron East also attend high schools
in Wingham and Listowel.
As well, it discontinued a $3,000
grant to the Hensall arena with
warnings from Deputy -Clerk Brad
Knight that a reciprocalgrant of
$1,100 from Bluewater to the
Vanastra Recreation Centre will
probably also be discontinued.
Requests from Ethel for play-
ground equipment and from
Moncrief Hall were transferred to
the municipality's newly -created
parkland reserve fund.
Groups continuing to receive
grants include $6,500 to the
Seaforth Lions Pool, $2,000 to the
Seaforth Santa Claus Parade,
$1,000 to the Brussels Fall Fair and
$700 to the Van Egmond
Foundation.
Also, $500 grants go to the
Brussels Horticultural Society, the
Brussels Santa Claus parade, the
Huron Plowmen's Association, the
Seaforth and District All -Girls
Marching Band, the Seaforth
Horticultural Society, St. Columban
Soccer, the Walton Area Sports Club
and the Winthrop Ball Park.
