North Huron council and staff have now admitted that Industrial and Commercial real estate values are dropping in North Huron. Our failed economic development department cost taxpayers $407,859.52 in 2015. This raised taxes, and scared even more businesses and investors away.

North Huron is facing a $2,529,000/year infrastructure deficit according to their Asset Management Plan. That is why our roads aren’t being fixed, why there is still lead pipe in the water system, and our infrastructure is literally collapsing beneath us. The Public Works Department has blown all their money over the years, and never put […]
At the last budget meeting town staff revealed the neglected state of the Wingham Community Complex. There have been numerous complaints from the Public regarding getting “red-eye” from the pool due to massive amounts of chemicals, which can be smelled the second you walk into the building. Families are going to Goderich to swim, and […]
Wingham has finally won the war with Morris-Turnberry, and the first steps of amalgamation have been taken. The entire process of amalgamation, including the merging of Morris-Turnberry and North Huron councils, is predicted to be completed before the next election. M-T did put up a good fight, but they were massively outmatched by the Wingham […]
Deputy Reeve james campbell, from North Huron’s East-Wawanosh ward, joked and laughed about Wingham police overtime with current Wingham Police Chief Tim Poole at the budget meeting. We all know we are overpaying for policing, but james campbell doesn’t need to literally laugh and joke about it. This is just one of the cancerous side-effects […]

This amalgamation deal was done behind the scenes, without Public or Press knowledge, input or scrutiny. Apparently Morris-Turnberry looked at North Huron’s crumbling infrastructure, collapsing storm drains, leaky roofs, no infrastructure reserves, leaky dam, pot holes, and no minimum […]
North Huron councilor bill ‘ss’ knott went off on another rant directed at town staff, and tried to lecture them on how the Animal Control system works by offering hearsay and “made up facts”. He rambled on about rogue OPP officers shooting wildlife, an invasion of wildlife, and about a door-to-door “dog count” to make […]
At the 08Feb2016 North Huron budget meeting, independent recording of the meeting was officially banned. To prove how utterly absurd and unenforceable this law is, at least one volunteer was wearing hidden cameras. These cameras are concealed in pens, lighters, belt buckles, hats, watches, key fobs, etc. etc. Just search ebay for “spy camera” and […]
This was the first North Huron budget meeting (08Feb) where the Public and Press were barred from asking any questions. This is a result of the “Great Silencing”, headed by bill ‘ss’ knott, where the Public and Press were stripped of their rights to question and communicate with their Representatives. If/When this increase goes through, […]
