Steering Committee to include
Chairman Marelle Evans
Year round residents Mel McGuigan and John Dixon,
Cottagers Bill Stewart, Drew Robertson. Gordon Barr, and Sheila Ogg
Council Ken Craig and Randy Roppel and Anne Eadie are to be alternate.
Background
 Last October we presented a plan for an open building with washrooms and a kitchen.
 Council was very supportive of the concept of building a community center at Inverhuron
 The estimated cost of $396 tabled at the Capital Budget meeting
 In May 2014 council approved going ahead with an open air structure with washrooms as an
alternative.
Estimated cost
 The cost estimate for this structure is $375,000 including utilities hook up Council has
requested the Committee to look at design build options to lower the cost.
Value
 While this structure is a step forward towards having a community center, we feel it has
limited value without a kitchen and will look for alternate funding methods to ad one.
Future Development
 The current design will support enclosing the building and heating it in the future so that
activities could occur year round. The best option to get there is by phasing the total project.
The current initiative is the first phase.
 The Kincardine Council have put $ 50,000.00 in the 2014 Budget to support work this year
The Inverhuron Committee
The Inverhuron Committee is continuing to follow the process of the Federal Joint Review Panel that
is studying Ontario Power Generation's proposal to build a geologic repository for the disposal of both
low and, more importantly, intermediate level nuclear waste on the Bruce site.
Past Newsletters are available on the IDRA website.
If you wish to be on the emailing list please contact: martimcfadzean@live.com
A March Newsletter has just been issued.
There are many very important recent developments in the process.
Every resident should be aware of these developments. Two of the most recent include a leak at the
only working repository in the United States and a communication from a recently retired Ontario
Power Generation research scientist who severely criticizes the data being used to determine the
amount of radiation in the waste.
The process will continue all summer".

Inverhuron History Uncovered
The Saugeen Ojibway and The Corporation of the Municipality of Kincardine will be working together
to deal with an important archaeological site uncovered in Inverhuron on September 12, 2013.
The site was occupied during the “Middle Woodland period” (between 300 BC and 700 AD) according
to archaeologists working on the site, at Wood Street between John St. and Caly St in Inverhuron.
“We are excited to see this example of the important cultural history of our ancestors in this area,”
said Doran Ritchie, who works for Saugeen Ojibway Environment Office. “This is just one of a number
of sites in the Inverhuron area that we are aware of – the Inverhuron area has an incredibly rich
cultural history in that area dating back thousands of years”
Archaeologists have already recovered numerous fragments of pottery, tools and animal
Additional field work is expected to start in late April/early May and will take 4-5 weeks to be
completed.
