THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2004 THE NEW TANNER 3 Mike Chong chosen Conservative candidate for Wellington/Halton Hills BY MAGGIE PETRUSHEVSKY The New Tanner ~ Wellington- -Halton Hills voters wanting to support the Conservative party in the next election will be looking to young Centre Wellington resident Michael Chong as their candidate of choice. In a "close vote" at the Royal Canadian Legion in Guelph on Tuesday, a major- ity of the party's 320 attending members sup- ported Chong over Guelph resident. Marty Burke, said Spring celebration in Halton Hills By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner There won't be any outside judges, but that doesn't mean Halton Hills won't celebrate its beautiful parks and inter- esting attractions this summer, to please itself. Out of the cancelled costly Communities in Bloom pro- gram that is designed to foster civic pride has come the Town and Country Showcase, slated for June 19. "We will have it more low key, but still try to get the same results -- spiffing up the place and working with many differ- ent organizations," Mayor Rick Bonnette said on Friday. He said the list of commu- nity groups that want to participate continues to grow and includes Limehouse Kiln Society, Limehouse Town Hall, Heritage Acton, both the Acton and Georgetown BIAs and the Willow Park Ecology Centre. "I'm hoping that this will be federal riding association president Andy deVries. Promising his supporters that they will "paint the rid- ing blue again" Chong vowed to fight hard to win the next election for the party and listen to his constituents after he is elected. Chong was the Progressive Conservative candidate for the Fergus-Elora area in the previous federal election and his experience showed in the polished speech he offered undecided party members before balloting ended. He said he had been talking a good send off for the sum- mer -- that will get the place cleaned up before Canada Day," Bonnette said, adding the event will give the Town a chance to show off. "The Town has probably grown by 25 per cent in the last 10 years and there's prob- ably people that don't even know about the (Limehouse) kilns, or haven't been to the Dominion Seed House Park," Bonnette said, agreeing there are people who don't know about Fairy Lake. And there's been discussion about having an event on June 19 at Pros- Acton Home Hardware Mike Chong to party faithful throughout the new riding since Decem- ber and their message to him was a call for change. The son of a doctor, he said he understands the chal- pect Park. Earlier in the week, Bonnette detailed the Town and Country planning progress to Council, saying the event has no budget, and will come at "very little, or no cost to the taxpayer," and will take a lot of volunteer time. He invited councillors to join the growing committee that was formed after Bonnette dropped the Communities in Bloom program, which in- cluded an annual budget of $50,000.
