HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1983-05-11, Page 24Pope 24 times -Advocate, May 11, 1983 Council makes invitation Queen asked to attend Hensall centennial Queen Elizabeth II willbe invited to visit Hensel, during her visit to Ontario next sum- mer. Hensall council agreed to issue the invitation Monday night. Since the Queen will be travelling to Ontario for its bicentennial in 1984, council - voted to invite her to the village's Centennial celebra- tions from June 29 to July 2, 1984. The invitation will be sent to the Lieutenant Gover- nor of Ontario, The HonorableJohn Black Aird, who will be planning her itinerary. Councillor Irene Davis said although there was no guarantee that the Queen would accept, a visit by her would be a great honor to Hensall. Her visit would also bring a lot of business to the village, said Reeve, Harry Klungel. Council voted to back the financing of the Centennial committee if it is needed. Committee chairman, Charles Hay said instead of paying for the celebration through taxes, he aimed to make the Centennial self- supporting. By keeping thenumber of souvenirs down, Mr. Hay said the Centennial should not lose money as Zurich did during the 125th celebration last year. Another recommendation for the Centennial celebra- tions was a Heritage Day on or near February 15 when the councillors would dress in period costume and hold a public meeting. Council would encourage school children and local merchants to wear 'costumes as well. The committee was hesi- tant about holding any special events outside of the four day celebration in the summer, Mr. Hay said. But, Mrs. Davis said Hensall should "do something a little spectacular since it's Ontario's bicentennial." Roll call was answered by Something You 'Learned About the Inhabitants of the Islands."
