CHAMBER COLLECTING FUNDS FOR
ACCESSIBLE DEFIBRILLATOR
OPTBUST CLUB
Twenty-eight Kilograms of chocolate, molded into the
shape of Easter eggs, will be worth its weight in gold
to countless youngsters when it is tossed on the
lawn in Clan Gregor Square for the annual Easter
Egg Hunt.
Hosted by the Bayfield Optimist Club the hunt will
begin precisely at 1 p.m. on Apr. 5.
Those youngsters who participate in the event are
reminded to bring a container to collect their
chocolate treasures in and remember the hunt
happens very quickly so be sure to be on time.
Tickets will also be sold for the raffle of a basket
filled with Easter treats and toys. Tickets will be $5

Chamber co-chairs and the major sponsors for the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce Defibrillator
project met recently at the Bayfield Post Office boxes in the Bayfield Library Complex the proposed location for

The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) is raising money for an Automated
External Defibrillator (AED) for the post office box area at the Bayfield Library Complex.
The chamber executive feels that this is a good location in the village as it is accessible 24/7.
And immediate accessibility to an AED is essential as the survivability of a person in distress
drops seven per cent per minute.
The Bayfield Lions' Club, Bayfield Optimist Club and Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy have all
generously kicked off the campaign with a donation of $250 each toward an AED costing
$2,000. Local residents have also joined in the fundraising and as of publication another $700
is needed to finalize the purchase.
People can donate toward the purchase. Donations over $20 are eligible for a 2016 tax receipt.
Cheques should be made out to: Municipality of Bluewater with "Bayfield Defib Project" on the
memo line.
Donations can be dropped off at: SHOP BIKE COFFEE, 11 Main Street N., Bayfield, ON, NOM

FIRST DRAFT OF COMMUNITY
INIPROVEIVIENT PLAN PRESENTED
Bluewater Council and about 50 residents from three villages and six hamlets discussed the
first draft of the Bluewater Community Improvement Plan (BCIP) at a special council meeting
on March 26 in the Stanley Complex in Varna.
Mark Cassidy, coordinator of Economic Development for Bluewater presented the draft plan.
Council is expected to approve the final plan at its meeting Apr. 7.
During the last three months council has held four meetings to establish a basis for the BCIP. In
the middle of each of the nine communities a heritage area has been identified for special
status. In Bayfield the western boundary is Hwy. 21. Old River Road is the northern boundary
and south of Bayfield Foodland is the southern boundary. The western boundary includes Main
Street North, Clan Gregor Square, Bayfield Town Hall and part of Bayfield Terrace as well as
Long Hill Road. Both sides of the Bayfield River from Hwy. 21 to Lake Huron form an extended
northern boundary of the heritage area.

village since spring 2011.
Two hundred trees have been planted to date but
the wish is to plant a further 300 as well as to
come up with a plan to "retree" Bayfield Main
Street North where trees are disappearing and
won't be replaced until the long-awaited storm
sewer project is realized. The committee is
considering options for the placement of larger
trees in special containers that can be spaded in
once the project is complete.
Harris also acknowledged that the Slippery Elm
on Bayfield Main Street North, in front of The Red
Pump has been declared a local treasure by tree
consultant Martin Quinn and the community
needs to determine a way to protect and preserve
this tree before it is too late. Over the winter it was
noted that it was scarred by snow removal
equipment and the vehicular compaction of the
soil surrounding it is also proving stressful.
Once the lights went out in the church the concert
began with The Glee Sisters performing several
numbers with themes varying from night and day,
sea and sky. The audience was also invited to join
in singing such selections as "Oh Susanna" and
"Scarborough Fair". Several of the choir members
took on the role of choral director giving Choir
Director Leslie Bella a chance to sit back and
enjoy portions of the concert. Members of the St.
Andrew's United Church Choir also joined the
women singing in both the opening and closing
numbers.
And when the lights came back on, donations to
the BTP 2015 campaign, which in all likelihood
will see trees planted in Carriage Lane and along
Jowett's Grove Road, were gratefully accepted.
To make a donation to the BTP spring tree
planting please contact Roma Harris at 519 565-
2373.

Today you are reading the 300th issue of the Bayfield Breeze. No, this isn't an April Fool's Day joke although I'm not so sure
how I feel about this milestone falling on this most auspicious day on the calendar.
Since the very first issue was launched in July 2009 your contributions have shaped what we are — a voice — an online
connection to what is happening in our community.
We have been embraced not only by readers and subscribers but by contributors as well. I consider myself so fortunate to
have both talented writers and photographers in residence that are happy to help cover events. They do a superb job and I
thank them for their ongoing efforts.
We wouldn't be able to publish weekly issues without advertising support and some of these advertisers have been with us
since the beginning. As always we could use a few more on our team. Spring is a great time to come on board. Show the community that you value how
they disseminate their news and showcase your business or service for a six month or one year time frame.
Someone said this week that the "Breeze — is your baby' but there is an old adage "that it takes a village..." and in this case it really does. On behalf of the
Bayfield Breeze team, Dennis, Mike and John, thank you for allowing us to come into your inbox these past 300 weeks. Hopefully the winds will continue
in our favor for many more issues to come. — Melody
