Grey Twp. approves grants The final meeting of the 1988- 1991 term of Grey Township Council was held on November 18 with Council approving grants of $100 to the Brussels Santa Claus Parade and $500 to the Cranbrook Cemetery Board. Cranbrook Cemetery Board members Jack Knight and Ken MacDonald were authorized to attend an Ontario Association of Cemeteries seminar in Wingham on November 27. Council passed a by-law autho­ rizing banking arrangements with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Brussels. Council also passed two resolu­ tions with respect to the Huron County Waste Management Com­ mittee. The first resolution requests the County commence with the testing of the subject properties in Grey Township as soon as possible in order to eliminate any areas that are unsuitable and to alleviate the concerns of the affected landown­ ers. The second resolution to the Committee indicates that Council does not concur with the recom­ mendation of the Committee that the import of compostable material be considered for greater economies of scale in composting. Council is of the opinion that the import of compostable material is a contradiction of the concept that only waste material generated from within Huron County is being con­ sidered. The next meeting of Council is the inaugural meeting of Council scheduled for December 2 at 11 a.m. THE PLANNING ACT 1983 NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF WEST WAWANOSH TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of West Wawanosh has passed By-Law 13 - 1991 on the 5th day of November, 1991, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, 1983.
