Lucknow Chamber of
Commerce
At the June 14 Lucknow
Chamber of Commerce gen-
eral meeting, President
Morten Jakobsen introduced
Karisa Downey and Ryan
Lipcsei from the Business
Enterprise Centre (BEC).
Based in Port Elgin and
serving Bruce County, they
are looking for people under
30 years of age who are ready
to build skills, start a busi-
ness or find a job as part of
the Ontario Works initiative.
They currently have two pro-
grams running.
Summer Company is for
students 15-29 who are look-
ing to set up a business of
their own or expand a busi-
ness for the summer of 2016.
BEC will provide applicants
with hands-on coaching,
mentoring and financial
resources of up to $3,000. in
the form of a grant.
Starter Company is for
people aged 18-29 who are
not returning to school in
the fall. This program allows
applicants the same tools as
above but with a grant of up
to $5,000. if they qualify.
The presenters went to say
that they are looking for
mentors for both of these
programs. If you are able to
pass along your expertise to
continue a strong local busi-
ness economy, they can be
contacted at 519-832-2082 or

tional information.
Old Business
Discussion was held
regarding the Lucknow main
street conditions. Thanks to
H -K summer staff, the
benches have all been
sanded down and coated
again. They, along with the
garbage cans, have been
placed although the Luc -
know picture waste and recy-
cle cans are showing their age
and need updating. It was
mentioned that there is the
need for more garbage cans
in the down town core area as
well as along the Legion Trail.
Jakobsen is to look into
quotes for this.
All 11 tree planter boxes
are now out with three of
them being changed from
maple trees to pyramid
cedars from Huron Land-
scaping at a cost of $674.61.
The new lamp posts have
now been fitted to accommo-
date our display needs
including the recently placed
hanging flower baskets. They
were a joint effort with the
Lucknow Horticultural Soci-
ety paying for the flowers and
your COC paying for the bas-
kets that can be used annu-
ally. COC cost was $913.72
and taken from the advertis-
ing boards account. Secretary
McDonagh is to contact
H -K's Hugh Nichol concern-
ing the unfinished base area
of the new lamp posts.
McDonagh also expressed
disappointment with Rogers
Communications (KCTV)
not having moved their
cables from the old poles

over to the new ones allow-
ing for the removal of the old
wooden poles along several
Lucknow streets. The tender
has been awarded to Pickard
Construction, but no time
frame established.
Jakobsen reported that he
had a quote for solar lighting
on the four town entrance
signs at a cost of $7,000. It is
felt that we could get a 20%
discount on this. This does
not include labour to install.
The Kinsmen Club is also
considering the purchase of
and installation of similar
lighting along the Chickadee
Trail leading to and from
Graceland. Possibility of
combining an order to
reduce costs exists. Motion
by Delores to proceed with
this project when final fig-
ures are in was carried.
Jakobsen advised that
Bruce County Engineer
Brian Knox has stated the
"shave and pave" of Luc-
know's main street will not
take place until 2017 pend-
ing the completion of the
west end drainage recon-
struction. He also reminded
Brian Knox of the unfinished
guard rail work near Water-
works Park. This needs
attention right now for safety
issues. Another concern
with the County's projects is
the unfinished look of the
wayfinding signs recently
installed in Lucknow. Jakob -
sen will address this as well.
Unscheduled Business

cerning MITF Camping Wel-
