UPDATE: Reeve Finally Put In Place, Staff Revolt, CAO Gone, Accounting Crisis & Taxpayers Have Money Stolen From Account – More Victims Feared

(North Huron) North Huron CAO is now gone, and countless customers of North Huron have had their accounts depleted, and in some cases emptied by North Huron. Current Reeve Paul Heffer is refusing to comment, apologize, or offering to cover all costs associated with this theft. Experts confirm that if it was not theft, it was incompetence on an unprecedented level. To find out if you have been affected or to see what compensation you are entitled, to contact Paul Heffer at (519) 357-3594 and/or [email protected] 

Parade: Still Not Our Leader

Disgraced North Huron Reeve/Mayor Paul Heffer was finally put in his place after his shocking appearance in the last parade where Citizens of good conscience refused to follow their “leader” and left a 10 minute gap in the parade as sign of respect for Heffer’s victim.

This time the reeve did not displace a Community Living member by hogging the shotgun seat in the lead firetruck. Heffer was forced to be at the very end of the parade to prevent any further protests. This way his presence wouldn’t slow the parade again.

This Man Is A Liar Posters

Town Staff are refusing to follow direction from the current reeve and refusing to cease and desist their illegal activity, and have actually increased it by intentionally dumping snow on sidewalks they have been regularly clearing for years, endangering even more lives. Several different posters have sprung up around town, the most noticeable are the “If snow has been dumped on this sidewalk in violation of Clean Yards By-law: 3.18 forcing pedestrians to walk in traffic, then this man is a Liar!“

For an update on the rapidly evolving crisis, please contact your Representative on council.
