sented cheques to the
Hensall Shuffleboard
organization, and the
Queensway resident

Community Dinner held
in June of this year.
The dinner was a pro-
ject organized by the
Hensall Kinsmen and
Kinettes, 'Legion, Parks
Board and Queensway
Nursing and Retirement
Home. The project was
also partially funded by
the Province's Seniors'
Secretariat.
The entire project was
deemed a huge success.
Despite receiving only one
half of the applied for
funding, the event did
produce proceeds which
were distributed back into
the community. Seniors'
organizations received
these proceeds due to the
generous participation of
many local groups and
individuals. All of the
expenditures for the event
were discounted in some
way; of course there was
also an endless supply of
donated items and time to
assist in the support of
the. event.

Farm drainage workshop
CLINTON Are you
concerned about fish in
your agricultural drain?
Or, are you concerned
that you may be paying
for unnecessary drain
clean outs?
Believe it or not,
fisheries habitat in
agricultural drains is
compatible and may also
have the potential for
reducing drain
maintenance costs.
In fact, there are
working examples across
Southwestern Ontario
that can demonstrate
this.
Water quality and how
it is being impacted by
agricultural practices
has been a high profile
issue in the recent few
months. Aquatic life in
watercourses has
sometimes been dubbed
the "miner's canary" as
an indicator of
environmental health.
Let's face it, the
condition of
watercourses flowing
across farms and quality
of water and aquatic life
in them are a very visible
indicator of the impact
agriculture has on the
environment, and in
particular on water
quality.
This can present either
a positive or a negative
image, depending on the
particular situation.
Beyond this _ is the
obvious need for each
landowner to play a part
in ensurin �thai it own
families and friends have
a healthier place to live
in and enjoy.
In a workshop on
Thursday, October 28,
the Huron Stewardship
Council and Perth
Stewardship Network
along with other
partners, will be
presenting a number of
alternative approaches
for drain management
and examples of actual
situations where they
have been used.
In addition, the
Stewardship Councils are
looking for advice and
suggestions from farmers
on what kinds of
information and
assistance they need on
the topic of farm drains.
You are invited to this
workshop and to tell us
what you need to adopt
these proven drainage
management techniques
on your properties.
Stewardship Councils
can help landowners
implement these and
other innovative land
stewardship practices.
The workshop will be
targeted towards
landowners, municipal
politicians and officials
as well as drainage
contractors.
It will take place in the
Seaforth Agricultural
Society Building from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m.
Lunch will be provided.
There is no cost to
participants, but
registration is required.
