NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING THE CORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE OF LUCAN PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT TAKE NOTICE THAT the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Village of Lucan will hold a Public Meeting on Tuesday, November 15, 1994 at 7:15 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 161 Main Street to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act. THE proposed Zoning By-law Amendment applies to the lands between Alice Street, the Village Boundary, Francis Street and Main Street and between William Street, Main Street, Princess Street and the Benn drain as shown on the map below. THE purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to modify the provisions of the Residential Zone 1 Exception 6 (R1-6) to delete a regulation which limits the lot area to that existing at the date of the adoption of the Zoning by-law, and a provision which permitted a reduced rear yard. It also rezones a small portion of land in the Residential Zone 1 Exception 27 Zone (R1-274 to Residential Zone 1 Exception 19 (R1 19) to reflect the zoning of remainder of that property. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or oral representation either in support of, or in opposition to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. ADDITIONAL information relating to this proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is available for inspection at my office during regular business hours. DATED AT THE VILLAGE OF LUCAN THIS 19TH DAY OF October, 1994. R.J. REYMER, A.M.C.T. CLERK, VILLAGE OF LUCAN, 161 MAIN STREET, LUCAN, ONTARIO NOM 2J0 (519) 227-4253 Playhouse Guild Nearly 70 members of the Huron Country Playhouse Guild met on September 28 at the Hessenland Restau- rant. President Shirley Platt chaired the business, after a luncheon was served. She introduced the guest speak- er, Simon Day, who is the Production Manager/ Technical Manager/Lighting Designer at the Play- house. Day outlined the normal working schedule for the year, that it takes to produce one summer season. In January, Day, Set designer Ivy and Artistic Director Max Reimer get together to decide on the lighting and design of that season's productions. They estimate costs of set designs and props and order material. They also sort through about 500 resumes of technicians to form that summer's tech crew. in May the staff arrives and they begin working on the scenery and props, with a couple of painters and four or five carpenters. Day works with Reimer on the sets and lighting. The actual work day of the theatre season is basically from 9 a.m. May 1 to 12 midnight on Labour Day, practically non-stop, as they set up and tear down the scenery for each production. it takes about 24 to 48 hours to strike a set and put up another, done five times during one season. Some people in the tech crews move onto other theatres, working their way across Canada all year long. How much scenery can one production involve? A large musical like Peter Pan required eight huge "rolling pieces" on wheels (i.e. the Lost Boys Camp or the Pirate Ship) plus 24 flying sets. From September to Dec !mber things go into storage, pipes are drained, and repairs and maintenance are af- fected. Simon Day thanked the Guild members for all their donations of both time and money over the years. In the business, Mary Metcalfe reported a profit of over $6,000 at the Farm House Gift Shop, on sales of $22,000. This included sales of the new Guild cook - hook "Curtain Calls" plus raffle tickets sold on the col- lector doll and a hand crafted quilt. Kathy Torns of St. Catharines won the quilt and Jean Ryan of Waterloo own the Oklahoma collector doll. Shirley Platt thanked Kay Stallard for all of her excellent management of the store.

She thanked Pat Venton and the Catering Committee for the refreshments, Audrey Tibbits for obtaining the door prizes, Shirley Platt as MC and all the members who served food, sold tickets, the models and dressers, the soloist, and Simon Day and his crew. The Catering Committee worked at the Art show, fashion show, and several other events this year for a successful season. Guild member Gwen Minniss won the Tim Clarke painting in a draw at the Art Show. Carol Gingerich thanked all those who worked in the Meet and Greet Kiosk during the sum- mer.
