500;000 grant will aid university in Huron
The W. K. Kellogg Foun-
dation of Battle Creek
Michigan has awarded
$577,350 grant to the
University of Guelph for the
establishment and operation
of an outreach program in
rural development. Indirectly
the County of Huron
benefit from that grant over
the next three to six years.
Under provisions , of the
grant the Foundation will
provide funds over' a four
year period to assist in the
establishment of an in-
novative rural development
program.
During the fourth year the
university will negotiate for
funding of the second phase of
the program which will
reflect declining Kellcgg
Foundation support and in-
creased financial com-
mitment by local agencies.
The proposed program,
which will focus on
development at .the local
community level. reflects
expansion of the university's
base` of activities in rural
development. ?This expansion
is an important step in
helping rural people to
examine a broad range of
community goals, problems
and activities, as well as
mobilize their resources
nwpre effectively.
The program is limited to
communities under 50,000 with
emphasis on centres under
25,000. Specific programs will
depend on local response but
could range from ecology to
employment, health services
to housing.culture to credit.
The faculty of Agriculture.
Biological Sciences,
Veterix ary Medicine, Arts.
Scial Sciences, Family and
Consumer Studies and
Physical Sciences will
eventually become involved
in the program.
Initially the program will
focus on two pilot counties
reasonably close to Guelph.
Huron has been selected to
represent a traditional rural
county outside the sphere of
influence of a metropolitan
centre. The second county
will represent a rural county
on the rural -urban fringe
undergoing rapid ur-
banization. No county has yet
been selected for that side of
the program.
As the program matures it
may be expanded to other
geographic areas.
Because the specific
process -oriented objects of
the outreach program will be
selected by the participating
communities, -the university
says the slated objectives are
very general in scope
The program will help rural
people look at' their com-
munities and assist them in
the development of them-,
selves and their communities
provide a framework .for
integrated development, help
communities obtain in-
formation, train leadership
and develop the human
resources, and provide better
communications between
local people, universities and
the public agencies interested
in rural needs.
University officials note
that in Ontario rural action
programs tend to focus on
single aspects of development
such as housing, taxation
recreation, agriculture or
small business. They hope.the
project will help the existing
framework of agencies and
governments to approach the
total group of problems in' an
integrated fashion.
In the period between
January and July this year
the operating guidelines for
Huron set certain objectives.
An attempt will be made to
meet some of the needs of the
intermediate county wide
sector. In 1-Iay or Stanley
Township the opportunity to
observe and possibly con-
tribute to the secondary
planning process is to he
examined. The provision

of resources at meetings' (in
the form of information on the
subject matter) and between
meet a select number of
needs identified at the weekly
meetings) has been
suggested.
The project also hopes to
contribute, where possible, to
improving the effectiveness
of the secondary planning
process, especially in the
areas of public participation,
serving some needs not
catered for directly in . the
planning process, and
delivery and quality of in-
formation provision for rural
participants in the second
planning process workshops.
In any municipaulty in
Huron, project organizers
will examine the possibility of
meeting a select number of
needs identified by local
people.
They will also hold session
with the County Planners and
others deemed appropriate to
determine the most suitable
public participation vehicle
for the caareach program in
the rural community whichis
t5 be the focus of the
program's activity in the
coming year. The idea of
broadening the secondary
planning process in' Turn -
berry Township is to be
considered as a strong option.
On their memorandum of
understanding with Huron
County the objectives are set
put as follows
"To mount a rugal
development program in
Huron County by making
available the many and
varied resources of the
University of Guelph to. the
rural citizens of Huron
County, the. project to be
co iducted in concert with the
citizens, and with existing
public and private agencies."
"To achieve through the
involvement of agencies and
rural `citizens in Huron
County, knowledge of how the

'Kepi Kelly to speak at
Heritage meeting
Ken Kelly from Heritage
Canada, which is the main
federal department involved
in financing and rebuilding
significant historic sites, will
be the guest speaker at the
March 31 meeting of the
Huron Branch of the
Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario.
Mr. Kelly will be showing
slides and discussing major
historic restoration projects
from Vancouver to Halifax.
These projects include the old
Gastown area of Vancouver,
Dawson City in the Yukon,
Old Town Montreal, Quebec
City, the rebuilding of Fort
Louisburg in Nova Scotia and
Halifax Citadel area.
Perhaps the two Most
exciting and unusual projects
are in Dawson City and
Louisburg. Louisburg was
built in 1727 by the French as
a massive fort in New
France. It was continually
under attack by the British
and American armies ,and
finally sacked in 1760.
For 170 years the fort lay in

ruins until 1930 when new
interest was expressed by the
federal government in the
historic and architectural
significance of the structure.
Subsequently over
$25,000,000 has been spent in
rebuilding the huge structure
which is,„ now open to the
public as a tourist attraction.
The center fort has , been
completely rebuilt using
craftsmen from France.
Dawson City was a boom
town built in 1898 when gold
was discovered in the Yukon.
It had a" population of 20,000
and was the largest city north
of San Francisco West of
Chicago.
When the gold supplies
diminished Dawson City died
almost as rapidly as it grew.
The population today is 700
but since 1954 a large area
has been rebuilt and restored
to personify the history of the'
north.
Parks Canada has to date
spent over $25,000,000 on the
heritage of the city.
Everyone is invited to the
meeting which will be held at
8:00 p.m. Thurseay, March 31
at the Little Inn Bayfield.
Conservancy President Nick
Hill promised a "refreshing
and exiting view of Canada's
history from coast coast".
