Obituaries Club’s guest talk of travels NEWS FROM BELGRAVE By Linda Campbell Call 357-2188 PEOPLE AROUND BELGRAVE On the Feb. 1 financial page of The Citizen a story had the wrong headline. We apologize for any confusion. The correct story follows. “If you plan to take advantage of the RRSP Home Buyers’Plan, there are some important details to consider,” says chartered accountant Glenn Lott of Markham. “If you’re buying your first home you can withdraw up to $20,000 from your RRSP. But you’ll need to have the $20,000 in your RRSP at least 90 days before making that withdrawal. So, be sure to make any additional contributions to your RRSP prior to making your Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawal. “Consider deferring repayment of Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawals if you have a low income year (for example, you’re on maternity leave or collecting employment insurance). If the required Home Buyers’Plan repayment is not made, the amount of the required repayment is subject to income tax in that year. If your spouse is in a higher tax bracket, have your spouse use this money to make an RRSP contribution. The tax savings on the spouse’s contribution will exceed the income tax paid on the Home Buyers’ Plan income.” For further information about RRSPs, contact a chartered accountant. – Brought to you by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario Finance home with RRSP NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT AFFECTING THE MUNICIPALITY OF CENTRAL HURON TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Municipality of Central Huron will hold a public meeting on Monday, March 12, 2007 at 7:15 p.m.in the Municipality of Central Huron Council Chambers in Clinton, to consider a proposed zoning amend- ment under Section 34 of the Planning Act.

NO PERSON or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal unless, before the by-law passed, the per- son or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.
