Province of Ontario formed under the provi-
sions of the Conservation Authorities Act
(R.S.O. 1980). Its goal is to develop and im-

enhance the conservation, restoration,
development, and management of natural
resources other than gas, oil, coal and
minerals, within the jurisdiction of the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, in
order to meet the present and future needs
of the people who live in or visit the
watersheds.
Watershed is a key word to the Conserva-

defined in terms of watersheds. Specifical-

ON YOUR 150th BIRTHDAY
We're proud to have shared
49 of the past 150 years with
our many friends and customers
in Stanley Township and area. The future
looks good for. both of us!
When the Hensall Co -Op started in 1937 it was with one
purpose...to serve the farmers of the surrounding area.
Because we're owned by farmers, we know what they want and

We now have four locations and we're still giving farmers
the same old fashioned service that has made us successful.
We thank our employees, member -owners and customers.
We appreciate their continuing faith in the Co -Op movement
started by our forefathers over 100 years ago.
