N. Huron looks for someone to perform marriages
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
The Township of North Huronwill
otter civil marriages.
That is they will if they can find
someone to perform them.
At the Monday meeting of
council, clerk-administrator John
Stewart said that he felt council
should go ahead with offering the
service. However, he felt that it's
possible it would be too much extra
work for him to handle personally.
In addition to marrying a couple,
the person would be required to meet
with them prior to the cermony. "It is
estimated that each one would take
three hours. If there were two or
three a year, I can spare the time. But
if there's 50 a year it's going to take
me away from other administrative
work."
Stewart did take a course so that
he could perform a civil ceremony.
But part of the authority he has been
given is that he can designate
someone from the municipality to
conduct the service as well.
He suggested that the township
would rent the facility and the
person performing the cermony
would be paid. "Goderich is doing
something similar to this."
Though a logical choice would be
a retired minister, Stewart advised
that in a civil cermony there can be
no reference to church or God unless
it's requested by the couple.
If someone can't be found, then a
bylaw would not pass.
The bylaw could be repealed
should the person invested with the
authority decided to retire or if
council decided to no longer offer
the service for some other reason.
Stewart said that as long as
someone can get a licence by
meeting the criteria put in place they
can be married in a civil ceremony.
No one can be refused, however, for
anything that would be covered in
the Charter of Rights, such as
religion, or homosexuality.
A motion was made to research for
someone who might be interested in
performing civil ceremonies in
North Huron. Deputy-reeve Murray
Scott, and councillors Archie
MacGowan and Murray Nesbitt
voted in favour of the motion.
Councillors Jim Campbell and
Arnold Taylor were opposed.
Councillor Edgar Daer was absent.
