Japanese social workers visit Lucan Submitted article LUCAN — On the after- noon of Tuesday, Nov. 9 The Crest Centre had the privilege of providing a tour and information ses- sion to a group of social service workers from Japan. The group, which came from a city about an hour's flight from Tokyo was made up of people who work in the areas of welfare, education, mental health, developmental ser- vices, employment and other programs for those with disabilities. The group is touring Canada to learn more about how social services function in our country. During their research and planning they had found The Crest Centre's Web site, were intrigued by what they saw and con- tacted the agency to arrange for a tour while in the area. The tour began with introductions and a wel- come to the group from Executive Director Barry Fellinger. This was fol- lowed by a viewing of the Crest commercial which airs on a regular basis on the NewPL and a power point presentation on the various programs and homes Crest provides in Lucan, Ailsa Craig and fderton. There was a brief overview of Crest's plans for the future and oppor- tunity to respond to ques- tions the group had. Thank goodness there was an interpreter along! A walking tour of the facilities on Highway 7 was than led by Director of Services Anita Bacon, and Manager of Community Mental Health Carrie Sutherland. The tour group had an oppor- tunity to view first hand the woodshop, greenhouse Truck blitz HURON — Huron OPP in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation Traffic Enforcement section conducted a truck safety inspection in three locations in Huron County.
