Clinton designations • • •

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.

ficialIy opened by MI
By Stephanie 'Avenue
.The over 7,900 square foot addition to the
Maitland Valley Conservation Authority
(MVCA) headquarters in Wroxeter was of-
ficially opened on Aug. 16.
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 federal government contributed PPM'
for wages. 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

"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.

the dignitaries attending the opening.
