NORTH HURON, ON (February 17, 2023) –The Council of the Township of North Huron affirms its support for the 2024 Wingham Homecoming Event and opens the door for the interested community organizers to work collaboratively with the Township through the North Huron Special Events Approvals process.
At a Special Council Meeting held on February 17th, Council passed a resolution to dissolve the formal 2024 Wingham Homecoming Committee of Council, in order to allow for the process to continue to move forward more efficiently with a community-based approach. Interested community organizers are encouraged to work through the Township’s Special Events Approvals process and to reach out and potentially partner with local service groups within the community. Council also expressed its support for any community-based organizers to approach Council, through the Special Events Approvals process, to request access to Township resources for the event, including seed money, if required.
“Homecoming celebrations are great community events, and we want to do everything we can, as a municipality, to support the community in putting on a safe and enjoyable 2024 Wingham Homecoming.” Reeve Heffer stated, following the Special Council meeting held the morning of February 17th, “We were originally approached by community members looking to form a Committee of Council, but after today’s meeting Council determined that the community would be better served by a more efficient and less formal approach through the Township’s Special Event Approvals process. With the support of our Community Engagement Coordinator, who is our staff expert in this field, the Township will provide support to community members to help make this a successful event.”
