North Huron Council splits on school donations By Denny Scott The Citizen Last week, North Huron Township Council decided that recognizing local students' achievements was an honourable goal, but having taxpayers foot the bill for a graduation ceremony wasn't. Faced with two $50 requests from Sacred Heart Catholic School and F.E. Madill School, both in Wingham and both for their Grade 8 graduation ceremonies, council noted the difference between the two requests. While the $50 request from Sacred Heart was for a bursary, typically awarded to the most improved student from North Huron, in recent years Madill requested the funding to pay for the graduation ceremony. The school has done away with many of the individual awards in favour of a more inclusive celebration. While Deputy -Reeve James Campbell said it was important to recognize all students' achievements, noting he hopes the students "go on to bigger and better things", he did say it's important that council's funding goes to a student. "I don't think we should help fund the party for the Grade 8 class," Councillor Yolanda Ritsema- Teeningna said. "The bursary is for most improved and [comes from tax dollars]. I think it's good to recognize students, but we shouldn't be using taxpayer dollars for [the graduation]." Council approved the $50 donation to Sacred Heart for the purpose of a bursary to the most improved student from North Huron, but declined sending $50 to Madill on the grounds that the request was to support the celebration, rather than specific award.
