'Maey Hat°r1�an
The focus of this week's column might
surprise you. With reference to this col-
umn's criteria to be included, the local
merchant/business associations qualify.
They join and participate voluntarily with
benefit to our community.
There are four local associations that
merchants can become members.
Goderich Business Improvement Area,
known as the BIA, formed about nine
years ago and meets once a month. They
are largely responsible for the street
lighting, flowers and • tree planting, ben-
ches and street stapes we have come to ap-
preciate. Businesses within a designated
core area of the square donate through a
sPecific tax, and, these funds accompanied
with government grants finance the
beautification of the square and radiating
streets.
With over 80 members, the Shopper's
Square Association co-operatively works
together to advertise through promotions
the core area. They are interested in main-
taining the attractiveness of their business
area for tourists and residents alike. The
executive, elected for a two year term,
meet once a month. They financially con --
tribute individually and collectively to a.
large number of volunteer organizations in
the community. In the past they have con-
tributed towards the Christmas Decora-
tions that impress us all, located in the
square during the festive season.
The Suncoast area has two associations.
The Suncoast Strip Association with its 40
members, and the Suncoast Mall Mer-
chants Association pay particular atten-
tion to their 'business- area. Since October
1975, the Suncoast Mall Merchants
-Association has continued to grow to 23
participating members at present. They,
too, have financially supported other
volunteer 'organizations, either as iq-
div#dual or as an association. They offerto
any charitable association in the com-
munity a location in the mall hallway, free
of charge, for their fund-raising activity.
They have been involved with sponsoring
the "Linda _Reid Day" where the mall mer-
chants contributed 1 per cent of their total
sales in order to send Linda and others to
the Summer Olympics.
One member of the association has a
dream to see a community celebration in
promoting •"Founder's Day". Busy gain-
ing support from other volunteer organiza-
tions, his dreams may soon become a
reality. On June 28th, Tiger Dunlop and
Colonel Galt founded Goderich and this
group would like to possibly see a statue
commenorating the founder located on.
Highway 21 South, welcoming tourists and
residents to Goderich. With the Optimist
Festival, and the Canada Day Celebrations
all happening during the same time period
- what "a time to ,celebrate our
beginnings! ! ! •
ttecognitlon should go to our local
businesses who contribute so much to our
community. Their concerti for the
beautification of our town so that we all
share the pleasure in should be
acknowledged by us. We should patronize
these local businesses who sponsor our
sporti teams, financially support our
organizations through donations and
volunteer their time within these associa-
tions. I applaud their efforts arid I hope you
join me in thanking them for their con-
tributions to our community.
