In 2012, he said, the program asked for four years of funding, at the end of which councillors had hoped the program would be able to stand on its own feet. However, now four further years of funding have been requested, showing that the initial four years of support didn’t get the program where council hoped it would by the end of the first funding term. Furthermore, Blumhagen said that at the end of the projected four-year funding term, the program is still not projected to be sustainable – another concern council should have with the request. Despite the numerous concerns outlined, Blumhagen suggested that the request be forwarded to the Economic Development Board for consideration. He suggested that because the HealthKick Huron program fell under the heading of post-secondary education, one of the board’s primary focuses, the board’s input on the request would be valuable. Huron East Deputy-Mayor Joe Steffler, who has supported the project since its inception, continued to back HealthKick, saying “it’s not a project, it’s education”. Council approved Blumhagen’s request and the HealthKick Huron proposal has been forwarded to the Economic Development Board. After it has been reviewed by the board, it will return to council for a final decision. Having some fun With the local broomball season coming to a close, the Blyth PeeWee Silver Bullets took to the ice on the weekend for their annual fun day, playing a game against their parents at the Blyth and District Community Centre where keeping score wasn’t exactly the priority.
