Huron County, Ontario – The County of Huron would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Lucknow and District Kinsmen for donating $50,000 toward the Gibbons Street Affordable Housing Development.

“The Lucknow & District Kinsmen are highly active volunteers in our community, regularly supporting local initiatives through their popular and entertaining fundraising events,” said Huron County Warden, Glen McNeil. “We are tremendously grateful for their generous donation.  It will have a significant impact in our community.”

The County of Huron is committed to developing additional affordable and supportive housing units. The Gibbons Street development, a 40-unit apartment building currently under construction in Goderich, is part of a comprehensive housing strategy aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by smaller communities. The development is on track for completion by late 2025 or early 2026.

“The goal of KinCanada is to serve the community’s greatest needs.  The Lucknow & District Kinsmen have identified that the Gibbons Street Affordable Housing Development is one of those needs.” Said Joe Carter, of the Lucknow & District Kinsmen.  “Thank you to all the patrons and volunteers who support our events, including; Summerfest, Dungannon Super Pull, and Lucknow’s Music In The Fields.”
