ferent vendors, who purchased a total of 59

Grant tolerance
Local Businessman Peter Strickland is
planning a facelift for a commerical
building, owned by his company P and, P
Investments, on the corner of West and
Waterloo Streets, in Goderich.
Plans for the building ( formerly a video
arcade) include conversion to office space
fnd the construction of a. colonial -style
ront to the building. In order to acheive
the desired appearance, a four -foot exten-
sion of the roof toward the sidewalk is
planned. Pillars, placed on the property
would support theextension, which would
overhang two feet past the lot line.
Goderich Town Council has agreed to
grant a tolerance for the 11 -foot high exten-
sion, but retain the right to order it remov-
ed if deemed necessary in the future.
Opportunities Tour
Huron County will be among five
Southwestern Ontario counties which, in
TOWN COUNCIL
conjunction with the Ministry of Industry,
Trade and Technology, will be hosting an
Opportunities Tour in September 1988. The
purpose of this tour is to Introduce
American, and possibly European in-
vestors to opportunities in this area.
A number of municipalities are actively
working toward the preparation of
materials in anticipation of the tour. These
materials include detailed municipal pro-
files, brochures and the identification of
business opportunities. In order to assist
this work, the Huron County Department
of Planning and Development is organiz-
ing a meeting of representatives of involv-
ed municipalities in the Clinton Town Hall
auditorium on Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m.
Council referred the invitation to take
part, received at the Nov. 9 council
meeting, to the Economic Development
Committee with power to act.
"This is a very important happening for
the Town of Goderich and we hope to to
right at the forefront in touring these peo-
ple from the United States and Europe,"
said Mayor Eileen Palmer.
Plan update
The proposal of Knox, Martin, Kretch
has been accepted for the planned update
of the Waterfront Parks Master Plan
Study for the Town of Goderich by the
town's Parks and Waterfront Committee.
An upset limit of $15,000 has been set on the
project.
The committee noted, at their Nov. 3
meeting, that the province requires an up-
date of the plan, before they will fund any
further work in this area. The proposal is
for an update of the plan and not for detail-
ed drawings.
A grant received for the study, under the
Parks Assistance Act, totals $15,000.
Dockmaster back
The Goderich municipal Snug Harbour
Marina will once again have a dockmaster
in 1988.
Commissioner of Works Ken Hunter
recommended the reinstatement of Bruce
Allin as dockmaster, as the main problem
at the marina in 1987 was that there was no
person in authority to deal with the public.
Allin will work under the authority of
Parks Superintendent Peter Spain.
The Parks and Waterfront Committee
concurred with the recommendation
which was approved by Goderich Town
Council at their Nov. 9 meeting.
The committee also set the 1988 fee for
the marina at $16 per foot.

in improvments in the downtown area.

National 4-H Week
Federal Minister of Agriculture, John
Wise has declared November 16 to 22 as
National 4-H Week, bringing to public at-
tention the extensive and exceptional work.
of the 4-H program across Canada today.
It has been 75 years since the first 4-H
members gathered together to begin, what
has been for over three million young rural
men and women, an enriching and educa-
tional experience.
During the week, two national programs
coordinated by the Canadian 4-11 Council
will take palce in Toronto — National 4-H
Conference and National 4-H Volunteer
Leaders' Conference — at which time the
75th Anniversary of°41 ut gangda'will be
launched. From the -establishment of the
first club in Roland, Manitoba in 1913, 4-H
has become an important stepping stone in
the personal development of young rural
Canadians in every province across
Canada.
4-11 programs — and 4-11 members — are
measured by a high standard of excellence
applied to the learning process and encom-
passing citizenship, leadership, communi-
ty involvement and initiative. The continu-
ing participation of thousands of youth in
4-H is one indication of the success of the
program. Yet the benefits of 4-H extend
well beyond the personal fulfillment ex-
perienced. 4-H youth make substantial
contributions to the economy and to socie-
ty. Each year, 4-H members carry out
thousands of life -skill related projects
while the strong emphasis 4-H places on
good citizenship directly benefits their
communities.
4-H stands as a prime example of
cooperative planning and mutual support
from private and public sources. More
than 14,000 volunteer leaders lead 4-H pro-
grams and help members develop and
complete their projects. From farms, cor-
porate suites, banks, schools and factories
come the volunteer leaders who are the
backbone of 4-H. Many have been involved
in 4-H since their youth. For many, 411 is a
family tradition - a way of life.
4-H is anchored firmly in the principles
of human worth and individual ac-
complishment. These ideals enhance and
advance our society's basic values of
establishing strong democratic institu-
tions, encouraging private enterprise and
improving social opportunity. 4-H has been
and remains one of this country's great
success stories, forging the best of part-
nerships between the public and private
sectors to stimulate and fulfill the poten-
tial of youth. With decades of experience,
4-H is now primed to meet the needs of new
generations who will lead Canada into its
future, as it celebrates 75 years of living
the motto "Learn To Do By Doing".
