Working with math
Wrapping up the Early Years curriculum last week was
Damian Zavitz while Kade Patterson looked on. This, the
sixth week of the program took place at Brussels Public
School with all six weeks focusing on different aspects of
mathematical knowledge. Helping the boys was Sandra
Skinn, full-time staffer with the Early Years program. She
co-ordinated the program with her part-time assistant
Yvonne Wilts. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
At its April 21 meeting North
Huron council approved a request to
waive a security requirement under
the township’s municipal alcohol
policy.
Councillor Greg McClinchey
made the requests, with, he said, the
agreement of director of
recreation/facilities Pat Newson.
McClinchey made a motion that
council waive the security
requirements for the Barn Dance
event to be held May 24 at the Blyth
arena. “The policy does allow for
this,” he said.
The reason, according to clerk-
administrator Kriss Snell is that this
event is considered “low risk. The
liquor sales wouldn’t cover the
security costs.”
Council wondered why these
types of things couldn’t simply be
included in the policy. Snell,
however, explained this would be a
challenge. “”We know this will be
low risk with 300 people and won’t
require security, but you may have
an event with 50 people that does.”
While there will be staff present,
Snell noted that this particular event
has never had security present.
McClinchey further tried to
alleviate concerns by asking
councillors to look at it from a
different perspective. “This is in the
policy. We are not actually waiving
it, we are implementing policy.”
Snell said that the policy is based
on numbers with the assumption that
the more people in attendance the
more people are required for
security.
“But when writing the policy we
were aware that there are events that
won’t be at the same risk as a buck
and doe for example.
Council approved the motion.

Purpose and Effect:
1. Official Plan Amendment No. 4
The proposed Official Plan Amendment affects the lands
designated Highway Commercial in the Wards of Brussels

is not feasible to attach the residential use above or
behind the main commercial use/building. The accessory
residence must remain part of the highway commercial
holding. Change of land use to allow a detached acces-
sory residence may be permitted subject to a rezoning.
2. Zoning By-Law Amendment
A zoning by-law amendment is also being considered to
allow a site specific zone change from Highway
Commercial (C3) to Highway Commercial – Special (C3-
3) in the Brussels Ward (Registered Plan 192, Part Park
Lot Q) to allow an accessory detached residence.
