The two occupants of the GMC Sierra, a 46 -year-old male and a 15 - year -old male, both from North Huron, were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. They have since been released from care. A post-mortem examination was scheduled to take place on Dec. 31, 2016.

NH signs Festival marketing agreement The Blyth Festival marketing partnership with North Huron Township will continue for another year after council approved the request Monday night. The marketing partnership, which sees North Huron pay $15,000 to be featured in marketing materials for the Festival, was lauded by council as one of its best investments. "This is one bright light in our marketing plans," Councillor Bill Knott said before immediately making a motion to approve the plan. Knott pointed out that the price for North Huron had gone down from $20,000 in the past and said he felt North Huron was well represented with the document. The partnership was proposed during the Blyth Festival's annual presentation in December. Council approved the marketing agreement. Have questions about your hydro bill?
