Bishop Spence was ordained a deacon in May of 1968 and a priest on December 1, 1968 by Bishop Walter Bagnall. He served as assistant curate at St. Georges Church, Guelph from 1968 to 1970, then as rector of St. Bartholomews Church, Hamilton, from 1970 to 1974, then to St. Johns Church, Thorold.

Find more water... Cash strapped cadets look for funds... the Canadian Ecology Centre near Ottawa costs $350. There will be Cadets who wont have the money to go on a March break trip, or to go bowling like we did at Christmas. Normally, wed pay for that, but this time they had to pay and for, that $10 was too much at Christmas, Chapman said, adding future fundraising efforts could include tag days and selling calendars. Nothing is going to come even close to what we had from the bingo. One of our parents is looking into al- ternate ways to raise money, but without the bingo (funds) the Cadets program in Acton wont be as nice and we wont be able to do as much, Chap- man said. The closure of Bingo Country left 28 charities, community groups and sports organizations including the Acton Aqua Ducks and the Acton Minor Ball Association looking for new ways to raise money without raising registration fees. The Cadet program is free, and parents of Cadets are expected to fi nd the squadron a home. For at least 25 years, that has been rent-free at the Royal Canadian Legion. There are between 40 and 45 Cadets in Acton, aged 12 to 19, evenly split between males and females. They hold a weekly parade at the Legion and the Cadet band meets weekly at the Legion on Mondays. Chapman said the Cadet program that provides dis- cipline, teaches self-reliance, survival skills and the op- portunity to learn how to fl y. Were building leaders, Chapman said. She said the 197 Squad- ron has an annual operating budget between $5,000 and $8,000 much of it used to pay for a fl ight scholarship program and a program that enables Cadets to earn their pilots licence. Outside of the council chambers, Somerville said hes frustrated that the Acton water master plan was not complete as scheduled at the end of 2005, but has been delayed until the Fall of this year, mainly by requests of Credit Valley Conservation (CVC). CVC has asked for a whole bunch of stuff that under the requirement they can ask for they have to make sure there are no impacts (from taking more water) from the Prospect Park well, and it is really, really frustrating, Somerville said. I thing they (CVC) have thrown more roadblocks on this for the same bit of (water) capacity that were looking for, than any other organization, Somerville said. Adding he doesnt want to pick on CVC, but an exercise that was to take a year and has frozen industrial development, could end up taking two years. The master plan looked at reducing water demand in the non-residential sector to free it up for industrial/ commercial growth, but and found there was no water to be spared. The report is also investigating re-rating the Prospect Park well on Fairy Lake, one of fi ve wells that supplies Acton with its water.
