Billy Spindler, president of
. the Southcott Hines Park
Association, in representing
the Association at the Grand
Bend Council's first meeting
last week, told (he group that
while Southcott Pines was
two-thirds in Bosanquet
Township and one-third in
Grand Bend, residents were
keenly interested in the pro-
gress of the village.
He cited' the fact that both
. Laurie Manneli and David
Bannister from the`Bosan=
quet portion of the subdivision
had contributed to (he success
. of Chamber of Commerce
' events and promotionin the
village.
In his response to Spindler,
Reeve Bob Sharen asked that
a committee be formed within
the subdivision to take a good
hard .look at boundary ad-
justments in the future. There
• has been some research in the
past to. determine whether or
not amalgamation with the
village would be .desirable.
It has been suggested that
with the re -adjustment in
assessment now taking place
in Bosanquet Township, there
-will he a different i'iewi•,
economically,.for residents in
