The Hensall Arena was a popular spot Saturday afternoon as Santa Claus made his annual visit to the Hensall
Kinsmen Club's Christmas party. Hot dogs, drinks and Christmas cartoons were the order of the day while
children awaited Santa's arrival. From left, enjoying a visit with the big man are Exeter siblings Charlie, Hannah

Huron Park
negotiations
continuing
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
SOUTH HURON — The Ontario Realty Corporation
(ORC) is in negotiations with several Huron Park indus-
trial tenants offering to buy the provincially -owned
land.
The issue was discussed at Monday night's South
Huron council meeting, as council gave approval to the
ORC, the provincial body that manages land, to use
Crown Right to transfer portions of the park to existing
tenants. The move, according to a report from chief
administrative officer Larry Brown, will "avoid a
lengthy planning approvals process", which would see
land transfers delayed until 2007.
The issue of privatizing Huron Park's industrial side
has been contentious at times, with industries express-
ing frustration over delays in the process. The province
announced among much fanfare in August 2004 that it
would start privatizing the park, but delays held up the
process.
Brown said current negotiations are confidential "and
the ORC does not wish to disclose any details."
As part of the Crown Right and land transfer process,
any newly severed properties will be serviced with
municipal water and sewers. The new properties must
also be rezoned to legally conform with South Huron's
zoning bylaw.
South Huron Mayor Rob Morley said giving Crown
Rights to the ORC is probably the only way to proceed
with the Huron Park project. Because it was originally a
military base, the severance process is complicated as
property lines are determined.
