Member's Night Out
Club holds meeting
By Loretta Higgins
The first meeting of the Wawanosh
4-H Member's Night Out Club was
held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 12
at leader Mary Ellen Foran's house.
As members arrived, they did a 4-H
activity page while waiting for other
members.
Once everyone had arrived, the
meeting was opened with the 4-H
Pledge and roll call which was,
"What is team work? What is
accomplished?"
The election of officers was then
held. Sarah Alexander was elected
president; Emily Bieman, vice-
president; press reporter, Loretta
Higgins; attendance recorder,
Casandra Bos; cover designers,
Megan and Lauren Todd and
secretary will rotate with each
meeting.
Next, members watched a video
called, "The Power of Teamwork".
After, members split into two groups
and each group member was given a
different colour marker. The groups
Natural Heritage Plan to return to county
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
Huron County Senior Planner
Denise Van Amersfoort updated
Huron East Council on the proposed
Natural Heritage Plan last week.
Van Amersfoort spoke to council
after several members had been
concerned regarding the impact that
implementation of the plan would
have throughout the municipality.
She told councillors that it has
been decided that the best place for
the plan to be implemented is at the
local level. So, when the plan is
implemented by the county, which is
still not yet close to happening, it
will be applied in general terms.
However, when it's adopted by
municipalities over the course of
their regular five-year official plan
reviews, that's when the plan will
serve as a lens for properties
throughout the municipality.
Van Amersfoort said that the plan
is taking advantage of updated
mapping throughout Huron County
to identify significant heritage
features of land. The plan is helping
to do some of the work that used to
be done by area conservation
authorities, but not all of them do
this work any longer, she said.
Implementation of the plan has
been put on hold, she said, for a
number of reasons.
First, it was put on hold in order to
implement the new and improved
aerial mapping and photography
from 2015. This technology, she
said, will serve to accurately show
natural heritage features in land
throughout Huron County.
The new mapping is important,
she said, because the previous
mapping was done in 1999. It
outlined natural heritage land that
simply wasn't there in some
circumstances.
The accuracy of the new aerial
photography from 2015 is going to
give the department the accuracy it's
after, she said.
In addition, the plan has been
delayed in order to further consult
members of the public and educate
them on the realities of the plan.
There was a lot of misinformation
about the plan out in the public last
year, she said, and the Huron County
Planning and Development
Department hopes to better the
communication with a number of
public meetings held later this
spring and then even further in the
process as well.
Meetings are scheduled for the
north, central and southern areas of
the county and for each stage.
Afternoon and evening sessions will
be held in May and June.
The plan, she said, really is simply
a "research piece" for the
department to better understand the
natural heritage features and their
locations in Huron County.
The plan does not restrict a
farmer's right to farm. If a
provincially -significant piece of
land is identified, farmers can work
the land right up to the significant
land, she said, which is the way it is
today. Adjacent lands under the plan
will be within 50 metres of

had to work as a team to draw a
picture using only the colour they
were given. In the end, one group
had drawn a spring scene and the
other, a rainbow.
Members then watched two more
videos called "Eeyore's Low Self
Esteem" and "I like Myself'.
Members took turns reading about
confidence and self-esteem. Each
member got a partner and one
partner put quarters over their eyes
and the other partner had to direct
them to get the quarters into a
basket.
President Sarah then closed the
meeting with the 4-H Motto.
Members enjoyed snacks provided
by the leaders. The next meeting
will be on Friday, April 20 at
the Sacred Heart Church in
Wingham.
