Huron County's warden says he's not considering running for a third term.
Jim Ginn has served two two-year terms. He said a lot of things have been neglected on his farm over the past four years and it's time to give someone else the chance to be warden.
Ginn was a strong proponent of a two-year term for warden, maintaining that it gave the warden a chance to develop valuable relationships and he said that's been true over the last four years.
"People know you, you've met the people, you've got the experience, you've had the ability to build relationships with some of the Provincial ministers and some of the senior staff as well, So, you know, you've been in for delegations and the likes of that and a lot of it really is relationship building with others," said Ginn.
One of the challenges that brought some satisfaction but also a bit of disappointment was the issue of broadband service and the work to connect everyone.
"When I first became Warden I was committed to getting that finished and it's not going to be finished in my term, but we should have shovels in the ground next year. So it's taken a lot longer than we had hoped it would and of course SWIFT isn't going to have enough funding to connect everyone," added Ginn.
But Ginn also pointed to a lot of successes.
"The International Plowing Match was a huge success in Huron County and it was great to be part of that. It was a lot of work and we had a tremendous response from volunteers. I spent a lot of time on the Health Unit amalgamation between Huron County and Perth County, so we did get that finished in January of this year."
There have also been efforts by volunteers in various communities to work on the G2G Trail and there have been successful business endeavours including wineries an breweries that have started up in Huron County.
