Surplus farm houses

Over the last year and a half in Perth County we have had the surplus farm house issue visited twice. Most recently about a month ago county council decide to turn the motion down for the second time. The issue we divide people easier than picking your favorite hockey team. I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer but my problem is if it has been defeated twice why in after only a month of being defeated is it back on the table. This almost feels like a federal election. Democercy has to be considered some where along the line perhaps we have to have the best 3 out of 5. In tough economic times does our elected people have nothing better to do. It is like the dog that has chased a cat up the tree and won't move until it comes down(alot of wasted energy and resources for no reason). Anyway just wanting to hear other thoughts on the severance of surplus farm houses. Yes or No

I have several farm houses that I rent out and can see the merits of both sides of this argument. I do not think I want to sell mine . I would like to rent them out to some one that would take care of them. I am not interested in making a lot of money from them I would just like to breakeven, and have my building maintained.As renters come and go the the building seems to decline. I can not believe there are not people out there that would fulfill this goal, but they seem to be few and far between in my experience. It would be nice to be able to be to participate in some program for the distressed or under privileged that would help ensure payment and find the right tenants.

Not so happy landlord

U of G student traces lives of fallen WWI soldiers who 'walked the same halls'

There were 109 students from the Ontario Agriculture College who lost their lives in World War 1, and now a University of Guelph student is honouring them. Although the names of the 109 fallen soldiers are immortalized through a plaque at the U of G’s War Memorial Hall, Zane Ward wanted to know more about their lives and service. Ward is doing his masters in European studies at the U of G. During his undergraduate degree in 2024, he embarked on a task to find out who the 109 men were. “These men were here and they walked among these very halls,” said Ward. When the war ended, students had the idea for War Memorial Hall to be built to honour the fallen soldiers. It opened in June 1924. After the 100th anniversary of the opening was marked, Project Reunion started.
