The Tiverton Old Boys and Girls Reunion committee wants the
Municipality of Kincardine to ante up with a grant of $50,000 to kick
off fund-raising efforts for the event, slated for July 31-Aug. 3, 2009.
The item was deleted from the Nov. 19 Kincardine council meeting but the
agenda states the Community, Heritage, Arts and Tourism (CHAT) committee
has recommended the $50,000 grant and requested council give it
pre-budget approval. Staff pointed out the following grants for
similar events in the past:
- $15,000 plus the use of the Underwood Hall for two dinners
without charge for the 2006 Bruce Township Reunion;
- $19,700 and a loan of $22,000 which has been repaid for the 2008
Kincardine Old Boys and Girls Reunion.

"Therefore, it would seem more reasonable to consider a
grant for the Tiverton Old Boys and Girls Reunion in an amount closer to
$10,000 based on its population, compared to previous grants," states
the staff report.
The population share of the municipality (based on population stats,
1996, Stats Canada): Town of Kincardine, 55% (6,620); Kincardine
Township, 25% (2,954); Bruce Township, 13% (1,510); Village of Tiverton,
7% (824).
The staff report recommended council consider pre-budget approval in the
amount of $10,000.
The issue was deleted from the agenda and not discussed.
