Clinton designations • • • • from page 1' three of the owners involved in the recent heritage designation, requested it. He said that they all fully agreed to the designation and fully understood the requirements. "They instigated it and they are very knowledgeable about what they're getting into," Councillor Hunter said.. The building occupied by Councillor Burgess's home and business is 'designated. Of his downtown section of the historic Victoria, Block, Councillor Burgess said, "I don't appreciate having any strings attached to it. There should be freedom of choice." It was pointed out that Councillor Burgess could ask to have the designation revoked. It was futher noted that municipalities can force designations with an Ontario Municipal Board hearing, but Clinton LACAC had never found it necessary to go to these extremes.

Provincial natural resources minister Hon. Alan Pope and MVCA chairman Dave Gower of Goderich opened the addition when they cut the ribbon in front of about 200 people. Represented in the crowd were pro- vincial agencies such , as the natural resour cps ministry, surrounding con- servation authorities, county councils from the watershed - Bruce, Huron, Perth and Wellington - politicians, former MVCA members and present staff. Mr. Pope started the ceremonies after ar- riving in the Howick Township village by provincial helicopter. Mr. Pope, Mr. Gower and other dignitaries were piped in to the platform to start the ceremonies by two pipers from the Brussels Legion Pipe Band. A history of the MVCA headquarters, con- cluding with details of the $458,000 addition, was outlined by the MVCA chairman. Mr. Gower said that in August of 1982, Mr. Pope visited the authority headquarters to view the crowded conditions. The chairman noted that although the pro- vincial minister turned the authority down in its request for funding for an addition, the province "left the door open". By February of 1983 the necessary ap- proval had been granted for a Federal - Provincial, Special Employment Project, said Mr. Gower. It was almost a year ago to the day, Aug. 15, when the ground breaking ceremony for the addition took place. The project created 540 weeks of employ- ment for 25 workers, said the chairman.

The province contributed $156,168 for materials, wages and support costs and the authority's share was $172,242. The chairman emphasized that MVCA's share did not come from an additional levy upon the member municipalities. Jack Stafford, reeve of Howick, the host township, said it was the second time he had attended an official opening on the site. About 27 years ago, Reeve Stafford attended the opening of the Wroxeter Public School. He had helped to build the school as a laborer. It was noted that many of those who had built the addition were on hand for the ceremonies. Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston and MP Murray Cardiff brought respective greetings from their colleagues. There was some good natured partisan kidding when Mr. Elston commented on a news article which said he was on a Tory "hit list" to be replaced by a Progressive Conservative MPP in his riding if an elec- tion is called this fall. The Huron -Bruce MPP asked the provincial minister to put in •Weather 1984 1)83 25 14 26 10 29 12 25 14 26 16 28 13 25 10 29 15 26 10 27 17 22 12 30 12 22 5 26 14 Rain 25 mm Rain 14 rnm Aug. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 "good words" for him to Premier Milian -1 Davis. After being introduced by Mr. Cardiff, Mr. Pope quipped, "I'd like to help you Mur- ray, but we don't have a senate." The natural resources minister said that earlier in the day in Owen Sound, he had an- nounced a fish stocking program for Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. He praised the MVCA for using the job creation program to construct the addition. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, Mr. Pope and Maitland Conservation Foun- dation chairman Dr. Tom Sanderson of Listowel unveiled a commemorative pla- que. The plaque was presented to WVCA by the foundation and lists foundation and authority members. Mr. Pope was presented with a painting of Galbraith Conservation Area near Listowel. The painting was done by Olive Coghlin of the Atwood area. Ten Eastern White Pines were planted by the dignitaries attending the opening.
