It was during his six years with Victoria County that he developed the hands-on experience of a municipal machine in motion. It was his- department which spearheaded the compilation compilation of the County's first official official plan. "The preparation of the county wide plan took two years," he stated. "It took one year to have it approved and another year of intensive intensive monitoring before the cycle was complete," said Mr. Johnston. There was more involved than just the challenge of putting together an official plan for 18 small municipalities municipalities contained in the County when Mr. Johnston arrived in Lindsay. The planning director before him coped with the job for a mere 18 months and the predecessor before lasted only a year. When Mr. Johnston accepted accepted the position of responsibility responsibility to head Victoria Victoria County's municipal planning department, there may have been skeptics who believed he was too young for the job at 26 years of age. Nonetheless he rolled up his shirt sleeves and began the onerous task of developing developing a viable official plan for the County's 50,000 citizens. Before it was successfully completed, there were many long days, late nights and weekends of work. The end result was positive and Victoria County, for the first time, had an official plan.

The administrator intends intends to devote the upcoming upcoming weeks to the task of familiarizing himself with the municipal structure which is Newcastle. By next summer Mr. Johnston anticipates anticipates that he and his wife Marrion will be relocating from Lindsay to a home somewhere in the town of Newcastle. "Meanwhile, I'll be in a catch-up position for the next three or four months getting a handle on the job," he stated. Mr. Johnston's career in the municipal government arena began immediately upon his graduation in 1973 from the University of Waterloo's school of urban and regional planning. The 33-yèar-old is a native of the Ottawa area where he grew up on a dairy farm. "Don't laugh," he said when revealing the name of his home village. The administrator administrator was raised in a tiny hamlet called Johnston's Corners where he represented the sixth generation of Johnstons. Describing the size of the place he said, "The entrance entrance and exit sign for Johnston's Corners are both on the same post." A man of diversified interests, interests, Mr. Johnston listed à number of sports including including golfing and hockey which interest him but pointed out he enjoys participation participation ahead of a need to excel in them.

"When I finish with it I'll be happy if it floats," he stated.
