Confirmed: 2 North Huron Councilors Giving Back Money To Save Rec Center – Resignations TBD

(Wingham, On) At the last meeting of the King’s Corporation of North Huron, Councilor Kevin Falconer agreed to give back all the money he had taken from the taxpayers. Sources have indicated that another councilor will be returning all the money they have taken from the taxpayers. The return of this money from just these two councilors would allow the recreation center to reverse their massive increases.

Plans to hand over the money via large novelty check for were quickly kyboshed after someone pointed how fiscally irresponsible it would be to waste money on a photo opportunity.

Please take the time to contact council to confirm which councilors are giving back all the money they have taken, and the rate hikes at the complex will be reversed. It is expected that resignations will be determined/announced.

The next council meeting is 04Dec2023 at Wingham Town Hall Heritage Theatre. Arrive early, or call Town Hall at 519-357-3550 to reserve a seat, ask for sunshine list member CAO Dwayne Evans.

Sudden Death At Wingham Town Hall – Police Investigation Imminent – Seniors Take A Stand #ENOUGH! #LOUDER

Never again let our Seniors stand alone.

The Community is still in shock over Monday night’s council meeting, where a record crowd of 150-200 formed to confront the Corporation of North Huron over massive fee increases. While the death was sudden, it was expected and long overdue. Fear is dead!

Little old ladies had the courage to go to the microphone and confront council. Only a few in the crowd had the courage to speak up for what they know to be Right, and stood with those courageous dear sweet old ladies.

Notably missing from the crowd were representatives of some of the service clubs and churches in the area. Hopefully their absence is attributed to their unawareness of the meeting, and not apathy. 

Never again let a moment of fear stop you from doing what you know to be Right. 

More Citizens are now demanding a police investigation into the North Huron’s divestment of properties at a fraction of market value.

You can watch clips of the Public’s comments below. Do you have the courage to stand and defend our Community?

The next council meeting is 04Dec2023 at Wingham Town Hall. Clearly the People were not heard by council, this time everyone needs to be louder, bring a friend and demand change.

Massive Increases Passed And To Be Phased In Over Next 12+ Months

Massive increases were rammed through council last night by illegally doing 3 readings at once, and passing it. The basic safe guard of 3 readings over 3 meetings to allow the public and their Representatives to be informed and offer input is never followed anymore, allowing council to do whatever they want.

These massive crippling increases will be phased in over the next year or so, with 70% of the increase in the first year, and the rest of the increase the following year.

There was mass confusion at the meeting, and most councilors clearly had no idea what they were voting for. Please watch the meeting in its entirety, and/or call your Representative on council and ask them what the new fees are at the Rec Complex. The odds are you will get a different answer from each of them.

Councilor To Give Back  $50,000-$100,000 After Confronted By Furious Public – Other Councilors Expected To Follow Suit

One by one, Hero after Hero, Winghamites rose up to confront council last night in a no holds barred event that had Freedom Fighters stepping up to the microphone and standing up for their Community. “Tar and feather them!”, “You’re all crooks”, “Do your job”, “Respect is a 2 way street” & “boycott the North Huron” were just a few of the milder comments thrown at council.

Kevin Falconer vowed to give back all the money he has taken/received from his victims/taxpayers. When the crowd yelled out “You all make too much money” current Blyth Ward Councilor Kevin Falconer responded, “I’ll give it back”. This first step to reconciliation should see Falconer return between $50,000 – $100,000 to the public.

Click on the video below to see for yourself that Councilor Falconer clearly states he will be giving back all the money he took from the taxpayers/victims. The video should start at the correct point, just in case you don’t have 2 hours to see the entire historic meeting.

Wingham To “Hold The Line” At Council Meeting #SaveTheRecComplex

Hundreds of people have vowed to attend the council meeting on Monday 20Nov to defend what little is left of Wingham, the Recreation Complex where they want to quadruple some fees. Sources have indicated this is just another step to cripple, shut down, then sell off the complex for pennies on the dollar in another backroom deal to themselves or a family member/insider. (re. ESTC, Wingham Trailer Park & Wingham Airport, etc. etc.) 

Blyth and East-Wawanosh councilors continue to destroy Wingham and refuse to allow Winghamites to defend their Community, even going so low as to banning questions so council & staff can do whatever they want, and you can’t say or do a thing about it … or can you?

We have taken back the Cenotaph. Town staff will no longer illegally dump snow on the steps or sidewalks and will replace the flag the moment it becomes tattered because people like you had the courage to contact town hall and demand change and respect.

Will you stay home Monday 20Nov too afraid or apathetic to participate, or will you stand with those defending our Community?

Wear black, democracy is dead, show some respect.
