A joint effort
Members of the Londesborough Lions Club were hard at work on Saturday night, hosting the
club's annual fish fry. Hundreds of people came through the Londesborough Community Hall,
whether they stayed to eat their meal in Londesborough or took it home to their families. The
Lions weren't alone, however, members of the Brussels Legion made the trip west to lend their
talents and equipment to the event that serves as a major fundraiser for both groups. (Shawn

NH's Newson resigns
North Huron Council officially
recognized the resignation of
Director of Recreation and Facilities
Pat Newson on Monday night.
Newson has two weeks left with
North Huron and council members
stated they would miss her, citing
her ability to "get things done" and
"help with great ideas."
Reeve Neil Vincent said he
accepted Newson's resignation with
deep regret, commenting that she
had provided 11 interesting years in
the position.
Entrepreneurial spirit
When it comes to yard sales, the early bird gets the worm
and the creative mind gets the dollars. Delsie Rego, left,
and Brook Ohm fit into the latter category, selling various
snacks to treasure hunters during the Auburn village -wide
yard sale over the weekend. The two opened a tuck shop
and turned a profit off of the hungry bargain hunters that
visited the village. (Denny Scott photo)
OFA lays out plan
Continued from page 31
food industry drives our provincial
economy. From primary production
to food processing in the Greater
Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA),
agriculture and food is big business.
Agriculture contributes $13.7 billion
to Ontario's annual GDP and $1.4
billion in provincial tax revenues.
The total number of farmers and
rural residents may not compare to
the number voters in urban centres
and the GTHA, but our contribution
to the provincial coffers should give
us a stronger voice.
• Long-term payoffs: Spreading
economic investments around the
province will benefit everyone
across Ontario. Long-term vital
infrastructure improvements, like
widespread broadband, access to
affordable natural gas energy and
increased social infrastructure,
including schools, medical facilities
and improved medical care, will
attract new business in rural areas.
New jobs will attract new residents.
Stronger rural communities with
new economic opportunities for
families will help distribute
population growth more widely
across the province and ease the
ongoing population imbalance and
reduce the Greater Toronto and
Hamilton Area (GTHA)
infrastructure crisis.
• Affordable housing is

transportation are key election
issues. OFA knows that with the
right planning and proper
investments from a committed
government, Ontario's rural
communities will provide new
lifestyle and home ownership
opportunities.
There is still room for growth
within the GTHA while preserving
the existing Greenbelt — for now. But
in the long term, Ontario must invest
in economic development in rural
communities to realize economic
and lifestyle opportunities that
include affordable housing and
improved transportation. Our
Producing Prosperity in Ontario plan
will help create jobs for families
looking for affordable communities.
The OFA is bringing our message
of Producing Prosperity in Ontario
to political parties ahead of the June
7 election. Now, we're taking our
plan to candidates across the
province, outlining our answer for
economic growth for Ontario. We
want all candidates to understand the
value and tremendous opportunities
the agri-food sector and our rural
communities have to offer.
The OFA urges all voters to get
involved in advocating for Ontario's
agri-food sector and rural
communities by asking election
candidates about their positions. All
candidates need to understand the
opportunities in rural Ontario.
