"State -of -the art facilities that respond to the increasing demands of modern police operations are an important part of keeping communities safe," said Michael Tibollo, minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. "The safety of the public will always be a key priority of our government." Equipped with improved amenities that address health and safety issues, the new detachments will remedy inefficiencies due to obsolete design and technology, as well as lack of space. "Infrastructure modernization projects, including these OPP detachments, are critical to making life better for the residents of Ontario. Infrastructure investments stimulate our economy, create jobs and help to make Ontario competitive again," noted Monte McNaughton, minister of Infrastructure. Bird Construction Inc. (Bird) has been awarded the contract to design, build and finance the new OPP detachments. "This project allows for the continued renewal of our aging detachments under one major infrastructure project," said Commissioner Vince Hawkes, OPP. "This bundled approach to renewing our aging facilities will ensure the OPP continues to provide modern, efficient municipal and provincial policing services to local communities across the province." Construction is expected to begin this fall with substantial completion expected to occur late 2020. SOCIAL PLANNING The Social Research and Planning Council (SRPC) and 211, supported partners of United Way Perth - Huron, are working on a social planning inventory they hope will improve social planning across the region. The two organizations are looking to engage with groups involved in service planning and co- ordination, advocacy, building social capital to bring about social change, research and analysis, public education and mobilizing resources. "We envision the inventory as a valuable tool for community leaders who are involved in community development and social planning," said Susanna Reid, director of the SRPC. "It's meant to link research with planning and support existing groups to improve social planning across our region." Over 25 organizations have completed the survey so far and community leaders are encouraged to go to http://survey.constantcontact.com if they want their information included in the inventory.

"Residents of Perth and Huron will be able to find current information on existing planning groups and see if there are areas not being addressed. This will help cut down on duplication and improve transparency." The SRPC is operated by United Way Perth -Huron and is comprised of volunteer community representatives dedicated to the collection, analysis and distribution of information relating to local social trends. Research enables United Way to discover and understand the root causes of issues affecting Perth -Huron and mobilize the community. 211 is an award-winning helpline and website that provides information on and referrals to Ontario's community, social, health-related and government services. The vision for 211 Ontario is to be the primary source of information and gateway to human services for individuals and planners. 211 is a supported partner of United Way Perth -Huron.

I am growing weary of the heat and the inevitable humidity that goes with it. I'm starting to crave the mornings from earlier this year when I woke up and I could see my breath on the air and, yes, that was in my bedroom in our old Victorian farmhouse. You can always add a blanket or put on another sweater to warm up - getting cooler, however, can be more of a challenge. So here's to crisp autumn evenings and a nip in air! With my sincere apologies to all those lovers of summer out there! - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
