of concerned citizens and,

agency, reported Penn, has
invested both professional and
financial resources ($500) and is
making its services available to
'the Vanastra community through
the Centre.
`5V,total of 39 children were able
to go 'to summer camp in 1977,

Penn reported that the .
Christmas project was a great
success again in 1977. About 190
families were directly assisted
through this annual event. This
project is totally funded by public
donations and this year the
agency spent nearly-$7,500 on the
pr ' ject.
his report of objectives for
th agency in 1978, Penn said'
t re•would be several additional
Ob fives besides fulfilling the
req enients of the Child
Welfare Act in the areas of family
services, child care and adoption.
1 n. conjunction with the Rural
-Outreach Project, Guelph
University, there will be three one
day workshops in Mdy on child
development, nutrition and
budget counselling said Penn.
Another objective, he said,
would be the reinstatement of the
interprofessional child abuse
committee. He said the agency
Would also try to secure funding
for a child abuse project in
consultation with Guelph

Other Objectives include
Securing funding for a You rig
Canada Works grant to operate a
summer program in Huron .Park;
to continue and expand the Huron'
• Park Outreach Project; to repeat
the summer camp program; to
continue involvement in ' the

County.' Guelph , University..
personnel shall complete this
'survey if funded by the Federal
Government. • ' _ •
• •
In conclusion. Penn said, the
key to fulfilling any of,,/these
objectives is the •active support
and co-operation of board
members, staff, foster parents
and the community. The last few
years, he said, have been marked
by severe fiscal restraints
imposed by the Ontario, Govern-
ment but people resources have
continued 'to expand. These
people resources include' the
time. efforts and dedication 'of
social workers. support, staff.
'board members, fostm: . parents,
volunte6rs and the' many
'individuals and groups whogive
financial support for , special
projects.

Discussions of zqning , at a
recent town colfneil.meeting have
left . a lot of Seaforth people
confused.
Town clerk and zoning
administrator Jim Crocker,
suggests that anyone about to buy
a houseor a vacant building lot
check first with the town office to
See how it's zones. It's .a good
idea too, . he ,says, to , see what
neighbouring thnd is zoned.
It's a safe bet that no one
deliberately builds ' an $80,000
house next to an area that's zoned
highway commercial but as the
clerk says "very few people check
this.' '
A fair number of existing
properties in Seaforth are non-
conforming uses. That means, for .
exatnple, a small shop in a part of
town zoned residential or a house
in an area that's zoned for
commercial or industrial use.
Civic Crocker .points out that
most home or property ,owners
probably aren't aware that they
are non-conforming and this

change thaClf Seaforth gets two
student etrifiloyees this summer,
under the province'S Experience
'78 program, the clerk wpuld like
to have one of them list all the
non-conforming uses in town and
put them on the tax rolls.
If a building doesn't conform,to
the zoning in its neighbourhood,
it can't be enlarged or rebuilt if it
burns 'down.
That's why it makes sense to'
check zoning before buying
property in town. If asked the
clerk's office will. make a copy, of
the appropriate section of the
zoning by-law.-00ellegets a' list
of all non-conforming uses the
clerk hopes to' make copies of the
by-law and amendmentsdvailable
to the owners.
Once a building' permit is
issued, the onus is on the builder
to stay within Seaforth's zoning
by-law and the building code, the
clerk points out. ,
A subdivision owner, or anyo e
selling a residential lo can
control the type of hous' g to be
built there by setting sown what

the buyer can and can't bitildinthe
selling agreement. These agree._
ments can be more but not less
strict than the 'town's zoning
' by-law. Any residential develop-
ment 'of more than five lots
requires a subdivision pfdri,
approved by the Ministry • of
Housing.
-The town clerk says there were
more than 100 vacant building
lots in town when sewers were
installed last year, "but that,
doesn't mean they're all for
sale."
Seaforth's zoning ny-taw allows
the town to control a good deal
,about new construction...cost,
ground floor area, location on a
lot for example, but the clerk says
"we have to be careful."
That's because if the town,
decides to regulate something
new and draws up a zoning
amendment, it affects not only
new , buildings but ' every house
already built in town. "You could
create 300 non-conforming
uses," the clerk says.
