From 9 a.m. - noon on Saturday, August 6, Clinton's council chambers opened their doors to anyone who
was curious about zoning changes in the community. Every five years or so, the municipality makes sure all
their zoning is accurate and makes changes where needed. Large displays showed an aerial view of all of
Central Huron with zoning changes marked off in red.

Manyresidents came out
to Libro Hall on August3 for
a delicious, local meal and a
chance to talk with council,
other community mem-
bers and hear about what
Central Huron is up to.
After the meal and min-
gling, Mayor Ginn gave a
short speech to introduce
council, saythankyous and
give an update about some
things going on in the
municipality.
First, Mayor Ginn
addressed Central Huron's
potential nuclear waste
depository. He said Central
Huron is one of nine poten-
tial spots for a depository,
but they have to test the
geology and area first to see
if it is suitable for this.
"One of the things we
have to do in the near future
is have a community com-
mittee formed," said Ginn.
'As this project moves for-
ward, it will not be council
that makes the decision on
whether or not this area will
become the site for a
depository [...] before a
depository ever gets put in
this area, there has to be a
substantial amount of sup-
port from the community:'
He said it will be 8-10
years down the road before
a final decision is made,
and the decision will be
made either through a ref-
erendum or some other
method of getting
consensus.
He also discussed
increases in police spend-
ing in the municipality. He
said they are charged by the
police in two ways - a
household charge and how

many calls they receive.
Mayor Ginn said the only
way they can control those
costs is to control the num-
ber of calls for service. He
said the leading number of
calls for a service in Central
Huron is in the break-ins of
vehicles.
"It's a very simply solu-
tion, and I've been asked by
the OPP chief to bring this
message to you, and that is
to lockyour car;' said Ginn.
He addressed shared ser-
vices as well. North Huron
and Morris-T'umberryhave
recently decided to share
many services. Central
Huron has had these dis-
cussions with Huron East
and Bluewater, but has
decided to wait and see
how North Huron and
Morris Tumberry's
arrangement goes first.
They want to see if the sav-
ings they expect to happen
do happen, because they
are predicted to save the
municipalities a large sum
of money.
He also talked about the
municipality's finances.
Financial indicators put out
by the Province have
ranked Central Huron as
doing a very good job. An
auditor visited Central
Huron this week regarding
their 2015 finances, and he
was affirmational as well.
