changes to to
The Fast Wawanosh Park
will undergo several changes
this year. The park will offer
clearly marked camping
sites and will be policed
more rigorously.
Bryan Howard of the
Maitland Valley Con-
servation Authority attended
the May 5 council meeting to
discuss the proposals. The
park belongs to the township,
therefore any changes must
be discussed and cleared by
council.
Mr. Howard said because
of loose controls in the past a
"hit and miss" situation of
uses and controls existed.
The MVCA suggested
several improvements. Mr.
Howard proposed 15 camp-
sites with a possibility of up
to 20 more sites being added
in the future. A $4.00 fee per
site for overnight camping
will recover some of the
operating costs. Day use of.
the park will remain free.
It also• was suggested a
local resident be appointed
to police the park on a
regular basis. The MVCA
intends to place additional
officers at the park for, the
May 24th weekend, but it
cannot patrol the park f ull-
. time.
Mr. Howard said the park
could draw a lot of tourist
trade if properly publicized.
He suggested placing signs
on Highways 4 and 86 if
approval is granted by the
MTC.
Council agreed with the
suggestions and authorized
Mr. Howard and the MVCA
to go ahead with the im-
.provenents. Councillor Jim
Taylor said the sentiment
expressed by residents at the
township's secondary plan
meetings seemed to be to
segregate recreation .into
one area; therefore the park
shoule ue developed to its
capaci iy .
•
In other business Clerk -
Treasurer Winona Thomp-
son told council the arena
reinspection report has been
received from B.M Ross and
Associates of Goderich.
The engineer recom-
mended that all bolted
connection repairs should be
tightened; the bolts and nuts
should be painted and the
roof watched for leeks
There was no deterioration
found in the lumber and in
general the arena is in good
condition. The engineer's fee
for the reinspection is
$367.65.
Council made a motion.
approving the purchase of a
new fire truck for the
Wingham Fire Department.
East Wawanosh will contrib-
ute 18 per cent of the cost or
$8,100, which will be included
in the 1981 budget.
Building Inspector Irvine
Gethke presented four ap-
plications for building
permits: Darrell Wood of Lot
29, Con. 3, a1rail&- Bill Tay-
lor of Lot 35, Con. 6, two steel
granaries; Jim Hallahan of
Lot 38, , Con. 4, a machinery
storage shed; and,. Earl
Young of Lot 38, Con. 10, a
pole construction workshop.
Mr. Gethke will become a
member of the Ontario
Building Officials Associa-
tion. This will entitle him to
association publications and
seminars. The $25 member-
ship fee is to be paid by
council.
Council was informed that
Wayne Caldwell has been
, hired by the Huron County
planning department to
/assist in the preparation of
zoning bylaws and in a first
- i. draft of the township's
secondary plan.
Mr. Caldwell will be
employed from May 4 .to
Sept. 4 at $184per week. East
' Wawanosh will contribute
$1,200 toward his wages as
will Turnberry. Tbb
remainder will be paid by
the provincial government.
Charlie Smith of Blyth was
in attendance to ask that the
township put a pipe across

need it badly'
I'n their report. the Woods
Gordon consultants iden-
tified a need for 24 units of
seniors' housing, with seven
units to be rental -assisted
and the other 17 rented at
cost.
They added that beyond
the needfior seniors' units,
they found a rather limited
demand for housing in
Wingham. The population of
the town has grown only
moderately over the past 10
years, they noted, and in fact
declined during the period
1971-76.
On the other hand, the
percentage of population
aged 65 and aver has been
growing steadily since 1971
and this pattern is expected
to continue for the fore-
seeable future. Senior
citizens represent 18.3 per
cent of the total population in
Wingham, as compared to a
'provincial average of 8.9 per
cent.
For the town as a whole,
the : consultants project ,a
moderate population growth
of 0.4 per cent from 1931-86
and 0.1 per cent from 1986-9f,
yielding a population of 2,985
in 1986 and 2,998 in 1991.
This translates into a
housing need of an additional
12 units per year during the
next decade, the report says,
with the bulk of the demand
coming by 1986.
It notes that Wingham is
unusual among small
Ontario towns in that there is
a larger than average rental
sector. In 1976, 68 per cent of
ail 'using tOWn was
owner-otcupiet' and 32 per
cenryi'ds rented. Most rural
towns tend to have higher
rates of owner occupancy.

Township Of East Wawanosh
Auditor's Report
TO: The members of Council, Inhabitontt and Ratepayers
of the Township of East Wawanosh
We have examined the consolidated balance sheet of the Town-
ship of East Wawanosh as et December 31. 1980 and the_consolid-
ated statements of .revenue and expenditure, capital operations,
and reserve and reserve funds continuity and analysis of year end
position for the year then ended. Our examination was made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and ac-
cordingly included such tests and other procedures as we consid-
ered necessary in the circumstances, except es explained in the
following paragraph.
Due to a lack of internal control, our examination of the books
and records of the local boards was limited to an examination of
the receipts and disbursements as recorded in the books of the lo-
cal boards. Accordingly. we were unable to determine whether
any adjustments might be necessary to municipal revenue - fees
and service charges, municipal expenditures - recreation and cult-
ural services, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
local boards accumulated net revenue.
In our opinion, except for the effect ofeadjustments, if any,
which we may have determined to be necessary concerning the
above, these consolidated financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Township of Est Wawanosh as at Decem-
ber 31, 1980 and the results of its operations for the year then
ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for Ontario municipalities applied on a basis consistent with that
of the preceding year,
