Town Council plans to
advertise for nominations
from Wingham for the
newly -created Ontario
bicentennial medal.
As part of its bicentennial
celebrations this year,' the
province plans to honor 1,984
people for -volunteerism
and community service" and
is inviting nominations from
municipal councils, Indian
bands and local service
boards.
Councillors agreed.
Wingham should take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
honor one of its own and
decided the fairest way
would be to invite
nominations from the
community. Councillor Tom
Miller suggested printing a
nomination form in the local
newspaper, . and other
council members endorsed
the idea.
The advertisement will
appear in the paper_ this
week, with nominations to be
returned to the Town Hall by
the end of April. Council then
will select one name from
among the nominations
received to forward tothe
bicentennial awards com-

Roy Bennett and Ed Fielding
from the societyattended the
council meeting to discuss
the 1984 plantings.
Mr.. Bennett told council he
is not totally satisfied- with
last year's decision to plant
red oaks and little -leaf lin-
dens instead of maples.
These trees were .recom-
mended by tree experts as
good selections for town
plantings, but so far have not
appeared to thrive like the
maples, 'he said. He also said.
arrangements will be made
to replace any of last year's
plantings which did not
survive.
There also was some
discussion of a tree to
commemorate the Ontario
bicentennial this year, with
the arrangements left up to

at the start of last week's

the town's support over the
years. The association is now
in its 40th year, Mr. Neilson
told council, and he has been
personally involved for more
than 20- years. During that

been very cooperative in
making available meeting
rooms and facilities.
In responding, Mr. Harris
said he thinks this council
be permitted. to purchase a
new ice resurfacer for the
Lockridge Memorial Arena
this year instead of waiting
until 1985.
Council approved a
request from the board to
purchase the resurfacer, at
an estimated cost of $3,500,
in 1984 and to postpone in-
sulating the arena, which
would have cost about the
sanie amount, until next
year --

It was explained ' the
change is necessary in order
to take advantage of a 25 per
cent provinciat grant Tor the
resurfacing machine; : the
'grant expires at the end of.
