ee ay 2 5 | Ld = WW 2} |. 42 Port McNicoll council on the go Dear Sir: The following is a rundown of an informal meeting the incoming reeve and council of the village of Port MecNicoll held last week. Reeve-elect John Moreau designated the duties of the incoming Port McNicoll council. Deputy-reeve Ted Walker will handle finance and will sit on the Port McNicoll Planning Board as will Chris Merritt. Mr. Merritt will also be responsible for the Fire Department, animal control, bylaw enforcement and will represent the village on the Huronia District Regional Hospital Board. The duties of the recreation Department will fall to Ross Cameron who will also sit on the Tiny Tay Peninsula Planning Board while Leo Copeland who was appointed Roads Commissioner will also occupy a seat on the Library Board. Considering the number of vacancies on the various boards and committees, it was hoped that there would be a good response to the request for volunteers. Village clerk Alex Hancox was present to brief the new council on the upcoming wage negotiations with the village employees and the new animal control contract that would require immediate attention and after some healthy discussion on the village Christmas party for village staff and volunteers the meeting was brought toa close with a caution from the new reeve about the importance of a businesslike approach to council matters. We hope that you can find some use for the above. Because communications can be a problem in a village like Port McNicoll we hope to, with your co- operation, make information on what is happening in Port MeNicoll more accessible. (What are the chances of a Port McNicoll Notes section if we could keep it filled). Any suggestions or help you could give us in this matter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance C. J.
