A chance to gain valuable work experience, learn to live and work with a group of people and an opportunity to grow up a little, before making the transition from high schpol, to the work force or post -secondary education. These are just a few of the benefits listed by the young men and women in the Katimavik group currently spending three months working and living in Goderich. Goderich has been very receptive to the program since its inception, in 1977. There are presently, two groups in town, one group of 11 participants is housed on Wolfe Street and another group of seven reside on Stanley Street. The current group consists of participants from British Columbia,' Alberta, Ontario and Quebec The participants are involved in a variety of projects around town. Some work as teaching assistants in local schools. Others work with the senior citizens at Maitland Manor, with the developmentally handicap- ped at Suncoast Enterprises, doing maintenance work at the Huron County Museum, or as tour guides at the lighthouse. Their work here, provides a contrast to the Wolfe Street group's last project, cutting a hiking trail through a mountain forest in British Columbia. The program consists of three, three- month segments, each spent in a different area, with one segment spent in a fran- cophone environment. Quebec is the next stop and the final stage of the program for the groups currently in Goderich. octal council council asked for iflp1t on fate of museum BV STEPHANIE LEVESQUE The fate of the Huron County Pioneer Museum won't be sealed until next year. At its November session, Huron County Council discussed behind closed doors for over an hour,' a recommendation to reconstruct the museum. Once the doors to the council chamber were re -opened, Warden Tom Cunningham explained the decision to discuss the museum without the public present would provide councillors the opportunity for "open and frank. discussion". "I feel we had such," said the warden. The decision reached in closed session was to have the museum subject referred back to the agriculture and property com- mittee. The purpose of this, is to give Huron's 26 municipalities time to discuss the future of the museum at the local level. The results of these individual municipalities' discussion are to be sent to county council no later than Dec. 15. Warden Cunningham said many county council members felt they didn't want to make a decision on the museum until they had discussed it with their councils. Because of the warden's election on Dec. 11 and the fact that the next regular session of county council is before Dec. 15 it will be January, at the earliest, before the museum's fate is determined. The agriculture and property committee is recommending that the county reconstruct the museum over five years at an estimated cost of $2.1 million. The county's actual contribution for this recommendation would be $1.5 million or $300,000 a year for five years. The rest of the project is expected to be financed from grants, donations and other fund raising sources if approved. Amend bylaw While the weekly flea market at the Huron Historic Jail is gaining in popularity among bargain hunters, it created traffic and sight problems at the intersection of Gloucester Terrace and Victoria Street. At its last regular meeting, council endorsed a recommendation from the works committee that the traffic bylaw be amended to prohibit parking on the north side of Gloucester Terrace from the west side of Victoria Street westerly for 44 metres and on the south side of the terrace for 28 metres. Acting on a recommendation from the works committee council also agreed to amend the traffic bylaw to ban snowmobiles from sidewalks, boulevards, foot paths, town parks and The Square.
