Times Advocate, 1991-11-20, Page 16Page 16 Times -Advocate, November 20, 1991 Vanastra to become new community school VANASTRA - Plans are un- derway for the Vanastra Public School to become a community school, as the Huron County Board of Education attempts to get the jump on a $50 million Multi -Use School Fund provid- ed by the Ministry of Education. The idea is to enhance the ex- isting building which will not only accommodate students, but also provide various services and recreational facilities to the community. After long-term renovations have been done, it is expected the school may house evening programs for youths, courts for basketball and tennis, support services for children, a theatre and a library. Renovations needed for community centre SEAFORTH - Local interest groups are investigating the pos- sibility expanding or modifying the current Seaforth and District Community Centre to house a gymnasium facility. The Community Centres com- mittee, Seaforth Recreation and Parks Committee, Seaforth Agri- cultural Society and the Seaforth District High School have all ex- pressed interest in the plan, es- pecially the high school. At present time the Ministry of Education does not have the funding to improve the school facilities, and it has insufficient gymnasium space to operate programs it is now running.

An electrical problem is thought to have been he cause.

All in all the decision could in- clude tougher health promotion measures and control of tobacco through methods similar to the liquor control board. Production, distribution, im- portation and sale of alcoholic products are all controlled by the board within the province.
