Big plans in place for Brussels parkland By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor There are big plans in the works for the conservation park in Brussels. The Optimist Club has been seeking support for a project that would encourage greater recreational use of the park, as well as improving its safety and accessibility. When Watford residents visited Brussels last April as part of an Ontario First Impressions Community Exchange pilot project one featured of Brussels stood out. "Those people indicated we were missing the boat when it came to the potential for the river and parkland," said Optimist Jeff Newell. "So we're acting on that. If it's our jewel, then let's do something about it" What the Club is planning is to resurface the access from the mill to the edge of the dam and construct a boat ramp from rough concrete. "That barrier that's currently there, that people are fotced to walk around, will be gone," said Optimist Gerry Wheeler. "We are trying to make the park easier for everyone to use." To that end there will be surfaced trails through the park for walking and cycling. "The number one recreational activity is walking," said Newell. "With this then we want to make THE EDITOR, Spend four hours during February (Heart Month) in your community and the effects will be felt all over.

In safety improvements the Club has planned to replace the existing railing at the dam and increase lighting in the park area. To attract people to the park, gardens will be added and a new picnic pavilion with a washroom will be constructed. This will be located to the north of the existing shelter which will remain. "Currently no one uses the park because there are no washrooms. With this building plus the pavillion people will be able to hold large family gatherings there," said Wheeler. That support is a benefit in attracting a Trillium grant which the Club is currently pursuing. The application must be submitted by March 1 and it will be three to six months before they know if they have received the funds. "We can't begin anything until we hear from them, so how the project progresses will depend on when and if we get the money," said Wheeler. Quotes are presently being obrtained for the cementing, railing, pathways, lighting and the building. "We decided to really go for the gusto with this, and if we have to scale back we'll do that, but we might as well look at it all now," Wheeler said. A project of this magnitude can't Register now to become a volunteer by visiting www.heartandstroke.caTheartmonth or contact your local office.

Wheeler said that they have received tremendous support from those they have approached thus far. The Horticultural Society has committed its support for the gardens, while the WI has also promised some kind of contribution. The Municipality of Huron East has agreed to an 'in-kind' contribution, while the Lions have also offered support. "Basically everyone is behind this," Wheeler said. All proceeds from the Optimists April fundraising auction event will be going to the project, Wheeler said. "You know, we get these projects started, but it's the people who support us that make it happen." "Everyone has always supported us well," said Wheeler. "This is coming together well and it's going to be a great community project." Letter Foundation seeks canvassers
