PAGE 11. Hullett council officially opens municipal building The new municipal building in the Township of Hullett was officially opened Nov. 4 by Paul Steckle, MP for Huron-Bruce and Thomas J. Cunningham, Reeve, Township of Hullett. The 2,500 square-foot, eight- room facility located on County Road 15 includes municipal offices, council chambers, community meeting rooms and storage space. It replaces the existing municipal offices located in the public works garage. The project received $106,375 from the Canada/Ontario infrastructure Works program with each level of government (federal, provincial and municipal) provid- ing one-third of the funding. "Less than one year ago, we announced that infrastructure funding for this project had been approved," said Steckle. "Today, with great pleasure, I join my colleagues to open this new build- ing, secure in the knowledge it will benefit the residents of Hullett far into the future." In a letter, Helen Johns, MPP for Huron and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health, said: "I would like to extend greetings from the provincial government and congratulate you on your new awakowsom xrate sou gattle office. This is an investment for the township, and the residents of Huron, as it enhances economic competitiveness and community services. I am positive the township will put this office and building to excellent use in the years to come." "We are glad that the people of Hullett could share in the infrastructure program," said Reeve Cunningham. "The benefits will remain for generations to come." Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works is a $2.1 billion cost-shared program designed to improve local infrastructure, and is expected to create approximately 40,000 direct and indirect jobs.
