. Discuss Seaforthtan rezoning
g
rezoning of a portion of the land on for the township the lands had been
part lot 10, Concession 2, Huron Road designated for urban development
Survey, to accommodate further plan and the same intent had been in -
of subdivision for Egmondville. dicated at the time of the passing of
Mr. Caldwell explained that at the the zoning bylaw. He advised the Doig
time of the passing of the official plan brothers they would be required to
enter into a development agreement
with the township before the plans
could receive final approval.
As there.were no objections to the
proposed rezoning, it was the agree-
ment of the Doigs, the county plann-
ing department and Tuckersmith
council that the rezoning should
proceed.
Mr. Caldwell also outlined to coun-
cil the opportunity tour that is being
organized for September of 1988 to
bring foreign investors into com-
munities in Bruce, Grey, Huron, Mid-
dlesex and Perth Counties to view and
discuss potential investment oppor-
tunities with local businesses and
municipal leaders. He asked
Tuckersmith Township Council if it
was interested in participating with
the tour, and if so then the local
municipalities would be responsible
for preparing a municipal profile and
for identifying and organizing poten-
tial investment opportunities before
the tour is held.
Council was in agreement that the
municipality should be involved and
that a committee should be formed to
include business and council
representatives.
Tom Prout of the Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority was at the
council meeting to explain the
Township of Hullett resolution re-
questing the Authority to make re-
quired amendments so that all
member municipalities and residents
in the Bayfield portion of the Authori-
ty would be included and entitled to
apply for and receive those grants
available to the farmers in the
Ausable watershed.
Mr. Prout told council that through
negotiations between the Ministry of
Agriculture and the Ministry of the
Environment the OSAF Pac had been
enriched for some watershed areas
and the criteria for the areas
designated is now being reviewed and
it is his feeling that in the near future
all conservation areas will be
included.
Council decided that no further ac-
tion should be taken at this time until
the ministry has an opportunity to
review the program criteria.
Council will request the municipal
engineer to include provision of an air
onditioner in the office of the road
superintendent in the new township
shed.
Council will forward a letter to the
Ministry of Transportation and Com-
munications advising that it is im-
possible to complete the sandblasting
and painting of the steel trusses on the
bridge at Lots 25-26, Con. 11 and 111,
H.R.S. and that the municipality will
not be able to use the full supplemen-
tary subsidy allocation for this.
Council will pay the registration fee
of $50 for Janice Andrews of the
township office staff, to attend the
computer workship to be offered at
the Vanastra Recreation centre.
Passed for payment were the
following accounts for a total of
$200,540. They are general accounts
$128,104.73; regular day care centre
at Vanastra $8,445.66; special day
care centre at Vanastra $6,977.01;
roads $45,838.60; and Vanastra
Recreation Centre`$11,174.21.
The meeting was adjourned at 11
p.m.
At Tuckersmith Township Council
meeting Tuesday Wayne Caldwell of
the Huron County Planning Depart-
ment and Rod and Kenneth Doig of
the Seaforth Golf and Country Club
were present to discuss the proposed
By .lack Riddell
important initiatives ranging from
a renewed emphasis on early educa-
tion to more protection for automobile
owners were announced in the On-
tario Speech from the Throne last
week.
Promising continued fiscal respon-
sibility, the Speech from the Throne
outlined four major areas that will
receive priority from the provincial
government during the first session of
the 34th Parliament of the province of
Ontario.
The four areas are: education and
literacy training, affordable quality
housing: diversity and equity, as well
as accountability in government.
important initiatives will bolster
enforcement of environmental protec-
tion standards, bring forward a com-
prehensive consumer protection code
and continue to directly create and
preserve low and moderately -priced
housing.
Following up on a campaign pro-
mise, the government outlined educa-
tional initiatives that will equip our
children with the skills, knowledge
and entrepreneurial spirit they will
need to meet the challenges of the 21st
century.
In education, the speech promised
to:
-- reduce class sizes in grades 1 and
2 to allow teachers to spend more
time with each student in helping
them to learn.
increase the number of computers
in the classroom to 100,000 from 60,000
over the next three years.
-- establish new benchmarks for
literacy, languages, math, science
and social science, and insure that
parents receive more detailed infor-
mation about their children's
performance.
-- provide new textbooks and learning
material.
In the area of protection for

Emphasize
education
automobile owners, the government
promised that legislation will be rein-
troduced to establish an independent
and accessible rate review hoard for
automobile insurance premiums.
Honourable Robert Nixon, Minister of
Financial Institutions, reintroduced
this legislation the day after the
Speech from the Throne was read.
in addition, the Insurance Act will
be amended to establish a means of
arbitrating consumer complaints
regarding unfair insurance practices.
Legislation will also be reintroduc-
ed to provide protection for owners of
vehicles needing repairs.
I am pleased that the government
also promised to continue its commit-
ment to develop innovative ap-
proaches to assisting Ontario farmer:
given the continued global pressures.
The current legislative session pro-
mises to be a busy one for agriculture,
with several important pieces of
legislation expected. including Right -
to -Farm legislation.
llealth and Welfare Canada - Service
Changes
Health and Welfare Canada have
advised that in their Goderich and
Walkerton offices, their service will
be changing from the present first
come, first served basis, to schedul-
ed appointments. This would apply to
those attending these offices for
assistance with Old Age Security,
Canada Pension, and Family
Allowance problems. This method is
designed to alleviate the long waits
that people have been experiencing.
To arrange an appointment, call
1-800-265-9480. It is also a good idea to
use this number if arranging an ap-
pointment in the London office.
Grants to Riding
The Village of Bayfield has recent-
ly received special financial
assistance of $51,997 from the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs, in ad-
dition to the $170,854 contributed by
the province earlier this year. My col-
league Minister of Municipal Affairs.
John Eakins, approved the grant for
repairs to the Long Hill Road which
had been damaged by high water
levels.
The Village of lfensall have been
notified by my colleague Minister of
the Environment Jim Bradley that
they have received approval for a
grant for a needs study of the water
distribution system in the amount of
$6,753, representing 84.4 percent of the
estimated total cost of the study.

the upcoming year.

ed a new trustee, Rick Rompf, who
will represent the Town of Goderich.
Mr. Rompf was appointed as the
Goderich trustee to fill the vacant
position left with the resignation of
Mary Ann Dempsey.
Further discussion at the meeting
focussed on the annual allowance that
is paid to the Huron Board trustees.
An amount for the next term must be
set before the 1988 municipal
elections.
It was noted that the trustee's
allowance has remained unchanged
for several years at $400 a month, one-
third of which is a tax free allowance.
The board members approved a
recommendation that a study of the
trustee's allowance be undertaken
with a report to be brought forward
in the new year.
