The conference was hosted by Road Watch Huron at the Oakwood Inn and Golf Resort Sept. 19 and 20. Hurd said 22 municipali- ties were represented at the conference listening to and taking part in a vari- ety of sessions, including tips on starting a road watch committee, market- ing the message of road watch and how to find resources. "Oakwood is a great place to host a conference and everyone enjoyed the physical facilities. It was a great opportunity to net- work," said Hurd. Road Watch Huron, according to Hurd, was the driving force behind the conference which has been in the works for almost a year. "We were aware there were other programs out there and everybody was doing everything a little bit differently. We thought if we do nothing but invite the sister groups to get together and come up with some sort of a standard and at least have an opportunity to discuss where we are and help each other out. And it exceeded even our great- est expectations." Hurd added some of the municipalities that showed up didn't have a road watch but through neigh- boring municipalities they found the conference was a session where they could get their own going. One of the speakers at the conference was Marilyn Morrisson, one of the people who started road watch in Caledon in 1995. "Road Watch is just in its infancy, provincially and nationally," said Hurd. "We're going to look at how we can strengthen the provincial body so we can maybe attract some more communities and municipalities to get involved." Next year's conference will be hosted by York Region.
