Madeline Cheeseman of

the traffic situation has
become an unacceptable

Small Business Help
by Bob Watson
Matra• small businesses are dropping off into bankruptcy
and despite all the highly promoted government aid to
business there doesn't seem to be a program for the real,
down to earth, business person who is struggling to fight the
recession.
Oh. we know the figures show how car sales and house
sales are moving better, but these great movements
haven't reached the small business community as yet.
The politicians should be checking with the little shop in
the local plazas for input on this because the small business
community is the engine for Canada's prosperity.
We also hope that the federal budget and provincial
budget are geared to assist this important phase of the
economics of Canada.
Letter To The Editor
Job Creation
Dear Sir Madam,
Prime !Minister Jean Chretien seems to understand the
economics of tobacco but not the economics of job creation.
He has decided to cut high tobacco taxes because they
depress the legal sale of tobacco (and sustain a flourishing
Mack market In the case of tobacco, he understands that
if you tax something, you get lets of it.
Astonishingh . however. he can't seem to make a similar
connection between higher taxes on investment and job
creation. If he did, he clearly would not be considering an
increase of the capital gains tax.
Capital gains are the rewards for making successful, risky
investments. Investments create jobs
The plain fact is that if Chretien increases the capital
gains tax he will be increasing the tax on job creation. That
means fewer )obs.
We hope that by budget time. the prime rrunister makes
the connection between investment and jobs and doesn't
hurt both through increasing the capital gains tax burden.
Yours truly.
David Sunocrville,
President.

Montreal Like Toronto
Did you know that the task force on the future of the
Greater Montreal area has just recommended a regional
government for the 3 million people in the Greater Mon-
treal Region''
Just like the Greater Toronto area, population growth in
Greater Montreal has been spilling over the boundaries of
the City of Montreal and the Montreal Urban Community
(the island of Montreal). in early 1992 the Quebec govern-
ment appointed a task force to propose a vision of the
future for Greater 'Montreal. The task force presented its
final report in December 1993. Since then, its recommen-
dations have sparked a lively debate in the Montreal
Region.
The Canadian Urban Institute has organized a half day
conference where you can hear authors of the report,
reactions from the 'Montreal region and comments from
Greater Toronto Area personalities. It will be held on Fri.
Feb.25th. in Metro Council Chambers at Metro Hall, 55
John St..Toronto.
Registration, coffee and muffins are from 8 a.m. to 8.30
a.m. and the conference is from 8.:30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
Cost of the conference to Canadian urban Institute
members is $42.80 ( including GST( and for non-members

Canadian Designers
Challenged To Build Better
A national competiton to improve the design and construc-
tion of high-rise apartment buildings was announced
Jan.31st. by the Hon. David Dingwall, Minister responsible
for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHCi,
and the HOn. Anne McLellan, Minister of Natural
Resources Canada (NRCan),
The "IDEAS Challenge.. addresses some of the problems
facing the Canadian building industry. Many high-rises sus-
tain moisture damage that can be costly and difficult to
repair. They suffer from low energy efficiency, poor indoor
air quality, and uneven air and heat distribution. Many
high-rises are designed with features which present bar-
riers to people with disabilities.
CMHC. NRCan and other agencies have funded research
into ways of resolving these problems. The challenge will
encourage builders and designers to apply the results of
this research.
"Not only mill this re-inforce Canada's role as a w•orid
leader in housing technology. but we will all benefit from
the spin-off effects of healthier living environments and the
potential of new jobs within the building industry to meet
the demand," said Mr. Dingwall.
The challenge will consist of three phases. In the first
phase. tearr>_c of architects, engineers, building scientists
and developers from acrasa the country will submit
preliminary designs for innovative high-performance
residential high-rise buildings. In the spring, five of these
tearns will be selected to receive $225,000 each and to con-
tinue to the second more detailed design stage.
Stage three of the IDEAS challenge represents the con-
struction and monitoring phase. The winning team will be
announced in the fall and will receive $-4;),OUII to reduce in-
cremental casts. As well, an additional $25.(0) contribution
will be made to the design with the best special accessibility
features for disabled persons.
"By developing and demonstrating advanced energy-
efficienbt building technologies, we can help to ensure both
a cleaner environment and the international com-
petitiveness of Canadian Industry." said McLellan. "We
are committed to working with the Innovators of the
building industry to bring new technologies to the
marketplace..,
The IDEAS Challenge Is a coordinated effort under
CSIHC's Healthy Housing Initiative and the C-200 Advanc-
ed Commercial Buildings Program of NRCan's Canada
Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology (CANMET(.
The technical requirements for the Cballenge are being
jointly developed by CMHC and NRCan CANMET.

Joh Creation Strategy For Tourism Sector
The most crucial issue facing our government is the
creation of jobs. That's why I'm particularly pleased, as
Minister of Culture. Tourism and Recreation, to tell you
about our plans for job creation in the tourism industry.
We set up the Tourism Sector Strategy Advisory
Committee, led by people from the tourism industry, to help
us develop a strategy for expansion of our tourism industrv.
Now. after 7 months of consultations within the tourism
industry across Ontario, that committee has given the
government its report and recommendations.
The Advisory Committee anticipates that 100,000 jobs could
be created by the vear 2.000, 15 million more visitors could be
attracted and $6 billion more in visitor spending could he
generated.
The recommendations are far-ranging: establishment of a
provincial tourism marketing organization: development of
an events strategy for culture and sports, a tourism
investment strategy -and more. The kev is M aggressively
pursue the tourism dollars we knowwe are capable of
getting.
I take great pride in being part of this government initiative
to seek industry -led advice. The report is constructive and
optimistic, and my eovernment and i are moving forward to
create a comprehensive tourism strategy for Ontario. Our
government alreadv has programs and policies in synch with
the report's recommendations. in the months ahead, i'll
have more enncrete announcements an our progress.

Make The Most Of Your RRSPs With Proper Planning
by Anthony S. Layton,
M.B.A., R.F.P.
Canadians are afraid of
eroding social programs
and complain about high
taxes. How disturbing then,
that everyone is not taking
advantage of the easiest
way to save for their retire-
ment and decrease their
yearly tax burden - the
Registered Retirement
Savings Plan (RRSP).
Even when Canadians do
make RRSP contributions,
they tend to be uncon-
sidered, last minute deci-
sions that may not be the
most effective in-
vestments. However, with
proper financial planning,
most Canadians can
develop an easy and struc-
tured way to develop a nest
egg for their retirement
and save yearly on taxes.
Most Canadians do not
have a company pension
plan to provide retirement
income. Therefore,
chances are you will have
to finance your retirement
through your savings. If
you expect to rely upon
government retirement
benefits, remember that
current maximum benefits
provide approximately
$1,000 per month (before
tax). Relate that to your
current standard of living!
Clearly, you must take
maximum advantage of
the best government pro-
gram available to help you
provide for yourself - the
RRSP.
The RRSP is a federal
program designed to help
us save for our own retire-
ment through tax incen-
tives. But, according to
gover>rrneM statistics, only
half of working Canadians
have an RRSP, and even
Mss take advantage of the
maximum contribution.
Because of this, most peo-
ple are leaving their retire-
ment future to the fates and
paying more in taxes than
is necessary.
Today, tax laws allow
Canadians to invest up to
18% of their earned in-
come, up to a maximum of
$12,500 for the 1993 tax
year, in an RRSP. This
gives every wage-earner
the opportunity to ac-
cumulate a savings fund
that will help finance
retirement, and claim a tax
deduction equal to the
amount invested in RRSPs
each year, reducing his or
her yearly tax burden.
Canadians are missing
out on the RRSP program
because of a lack of finan-
cial planning and poor
reasoning. Young people
are reluctant to begin mak-
ing contributions because
retirement is so remote.
However, one of the easiest
ways to ensure financial
security in your retirement
years is to begin con-
tributing to your RRSP as
early as possible. For ex-
ample, if you start in-
vesting $3,000 per year at
age 30, your investment
could grow to over 5250.000
by age 60. assuming a 6%
annual growth rate. If you
start investing the same
amount at age 40. your fund
will only be worth approx-
imately $115,000.
Others are missing out on
making their RRSP con-
tributions by waiting until
the last moment possible
before even considering in-
vesting in an RRSP. By
waiting until the February
deadline, many people find
themselves without the
available funds to make
Building Better Pensions
For All Canadians
Donald Glover, Presi-
dent of the Life Under-
writers Association of
Canada (LUAC) in a letter
to the federal Minister of
Finance, the Hon. Paul
Martin, MP, PC, has ex-
pressed concern that the
federal government was
considering a reduction in
the scheduled RRSP deduc-
tion limits.
Mr. Glover noted that
..pension reform started by
the LaLonde paper of 1984
'Building Better Pensions
for Canadians - Improved
Tax Assistance For Retire-
ment Savings', levelled the
playing field between
RRSPs and registered
defined benefit pension
plans...
Individuals must con-
tinue to have the ability to
obtain, through RRSPs, a
pension similar to those
available to employees of
large corporations, most
union members and vir-
tually all government
employees. If the RRSP
deduction limits are reduc-
ed, the individuals who do
not have access to the
registered defined benefit
pension plans will once
again be disadvantaged.
Previous governments
have encouraged saving
for retirement with several
social and economic pur-
poses in mind. To the ex-
tent that retirees enjoy
retirement income from
private sources, reliance
on government support,
such as guaranteed income
supplements and housing
subsides, will be reduced.
In addition, the savings ac-
cumulated help to
stimulate economic
growth, such as through
mortgage loans and invest-
ment in corporate and
government bonds all of
which can be used to create
construction jobs and hoi s-
ing for Canadians.
Mr. Glover urged the
Minister "not to implement
any further reduction or
delay in phrasing -in the
RRSP deduction limits
since that would only
amplify the deficiencies of
the current system."
Fairness in the tax
system requires consistent
treatment. Not all income
tax exemptions and deduc-
tions are alike. With many,
no tax is ever collected on
the amount involved.
However, taxation for com-
pany pension plans and
RRSPs is only deferred and
the amount is fully subject
to tax when received.
According to Mr. Glover,
"tax is only deferred not
exempted under tax -
assisted saving for retire-
ment and as the system
matures the deductions
claimed by contributors
will be offset by the retire-
ment income reported by
retirees."
Looking For
Volunteers
Information Scar-
borough is looking for
volunteers with good
English and knowledge of
Scarborough to answer
telephones one day or one
half day a week.
This is a wonderful op-
portunity for active
retirees to volunteer their
time. For details call

and 5 p.m.
their RRSP contribution.
When Canadians do
make RRSP contributions,
their investments are
hastily made. Many pro-
crastinators rush to their
local financial institution
without any investment
strategy and without any
idea of what to buy.
Although this is better than
not investing in an RRSP at
all, you can be more effec-
tive by developing a com-
prehensive financial plan.
Part of the process of
developing a financial plan
is the determination of the
amount of money you will
need to maintain your cur-
rent standard of living
upon retirement. once you
are aware of what you are
working towards, you can
develop the current RRSP
strategies necessary to
achieve these goals.
With extensive research,
you may be able to develop
a financial plan on your
own. However, most suc-
cessful plans will benefit
from a consultation with a
professional financial plan-
ner. Financial planners are
knowledgeable on the
various tax and investment
strategies available to
meet your financial goals,
both inside an RRSP and
outside.
For example, if you have
trouble saving money, your
financial planner may
recommend a pre -
authorized chequing pro-
gram to help you make
your RRSP contributions.
By contributing a set
amount of money each
month into an RRSP ac-
count, you can maximize
both your RRSP contribu-
tion and tax savings. Also,
because of compounded
growth on your RRSP in-
vestments, monthly con-
tributions to an RRSP will
award you a higher return
on your investments than if
you wait until the deadline
date.
A financial planner will
also be able to determine
the rate of return you will
110 IND
need on your RRSPs and
other investments to meet
your retirement goals. Cur-
rently, there are a variety
of investment vehicles
open to you for your R.RSP,
from Guaranteed Invest-
ment Certificates, to
mutual funds, to stocks and
bonds. With current low in-
terest rates, simply in-
vesting in GICs may not be
sufficient to meet your
retirement goals.
Even the most conser-
vative investor can benefit
from a mix of different
types of investments that
can include GICs, mutual
funds, and even individual
stocks and bonds. A finan-
cial planner can help you to
O
f- 1 s -t
�vv�s
select a mix of portfolio
assets with which you are
comfortable, and advise
you when it is appropriate
to switch your investments
to take into account your
,personal financial situa-
tion. The types of in-
vestments you will need to
meet your financial goals
will likely change the
closer you get to retire-
ment age.

cess or how to choose a

Over a million Canadians
have chosen Royal Bank
to improve their RSPB.
Perhaps we could help you improve yours,
Investing in RSPB used to be simple. But, uncertain
interest rates are changing all that. So, people today are
re -thinking their needs and looking for other invest-
ment options to help them maximize their RSP returns.
Term Deposits continue to be an excellent core
holding for your RSP because of their combination
of guaranteed return and lack of risk. But, if you want
your RSP to grow faster; ask a Royal Bank
RSP Specialist alxwt an asset allocation strategy.
Asset Allocation
Helps Improve RSP Growth
One simple strategy is to use asset allocation. Asset
allocation amounts to dividing your total RSP savings
into three categories: sayings, income and growth. 1'ou
should include some assets from each group in vour
RSP at all times. By diversifying your investments this
way, your RSP growth should improve.
Aide Range Of Investment Options
A well -diversified RSP contains a variety of different
investments to help reduce risk and increase potential
returns. A Royal Bank RSP Specialist will show you
how combining RSP options like Term Deposits with
anv of 10 RSP -eligible no-load RovFuni' mutual
funds can help your RSP grow.
Talk To A Roval Bank RSP Specialist
If you would like personalized help in putting together
your retirement plan, ask for a personal consultation.
lou'll find an RSP Specialist in every one of our more
than 1600 branchc-s across Canada.

Responsible Health Care
For Our Community
(a health information column presented by
Scarborough General Hospital)
Scarborough General Hospital is dedicated to providing
quality health care to our community and surrounding
areas. This includes a commitment in health promotion
and prevention of illness. Through this monthly column,
we will provide you with important health information that
we hope will be of benefit to you.
Cigarette Smoking
Cigarette smoking was an uncommon behaviour at the
beginning of this century. By 1963, the habit had peaked.
Since then, there has been a continuing decline in the pro-
portion of smokers in Canada. dropping from 5o% in 19voi
to34% in 1966. According to one study, approximately 29%
of the Canadian population who are 18 years of age and
older are regular cigarette smokers today, with 13%
smoking more than 25 cigarettes per day.
The health consequences of smoking are well
documented. Smokers continue to be at a risk of dying
from lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema and car-
diovascular disease. An estimated 38.011) deaths are at-
tributed to tobacco use in Canada even year. This ac-
counts for 3D% of all deaths among those 3S years of age
and older.
According to the Canadian Lung Association, a single
cigarette speeds up your heartbeat. increases your blood
presssure and causes a drop in the skin temperature of
your fingers and toes.
Female srnokrrs face grrate►t risk
Despite the progress that has been made in Canada to the
decline of the number of smokers, there is one group
where there continues to be an increased trend towards
smoking. These are young females between the age of
3a_*3. While peer pressure plays an important role. the
number of young female smokers remains constant
perhaps due to the fear of weight gain upon cessation.
Whatever the reason. the dangers of smoking are double
amongst women. There is an increased risk of car-
diovascular disease in those women who use oral con-
traceptives. Furthermore. pregnant women who smoke
have more still births and spontaneous abortions. Their
babies have lower birthweight-, and are more likely to die
soon after birth.
Numerous metbods available to help quit smoking
Many methods are now available to help an individual
quit smoking. These include acupuncture. hypno-sis.
behaviour therapies. ntcotene replacement therapy "the
patch' commercial and voluntary agency progrant<
Whatever the method, smoking cessation before the age of
50 reduces the risk of death by 50% over a period of 15
years - not a bad form of preventative medicine' "bits
more, vou'll look. smell, and feel better, not to mention all
that money you'll be saving.
Historically. Canada has been a great soldier in the anti -
tobacco war. Our efforts include health warnings on
cigarette packages, a legislated ban on advertising and
many educational campaigns. Smoke-free workplaces
have become more the rule. rather than the exception. Ac-
cording to the Ontario Hospital Association, the majority
of hospitals are now smoke-free, including Scarborough
General Hospital, where we introduced our smoke-free
policy in July 19911. Unfortunately, this month's dramatic
duc
retion in taxes of cigarettes by the federal government
represents a major step backward in this campaign.
Smoking is a problem for all to share
For those who choose to smoke. there needs to be a
realization that you not only inflict danger to your own
self, but to those around you who choose not to smoke.
Whether a smoker or non-smoker, the problem of
cigarette smoking is all of ours to share.

Creation Of Jobs & Capital
Could Be Lost If Capital
Gains Exemption Repealed
The financial health of Canadian companies is driven by
entrepreneurs being prepared to put money into a growing
business- Donald Glover. President of the Life Underwriters
Association of Canada (LUAC), in a pre -budget submission
to the Hon. Paul Martin. MP. PC, the federal Minister of
Finance. "urged the continuation of the capital gains
exemption in order to encourage investment in businesses
that make a large contribution to the creation of _jobs and
capital in Canada".
When the capital gains exemption was introduced in the 19K9
federal budget it was an initiative designed to erwourafee
investment in small businesses, broaden participation by
individuals in equity markets, to assist Canadian companies
to raise capital and to stimulate new businesses as well as
small business growth.
Mr. Glover noted that "the current 5100.000 capital gains
exemption for individuals and the enhanced $.500.(1x) capital
gains exemption for farmers and small business
entrepreneurs is achieving the purpose for which it was
introduced"
The submission also pointed out that "many entrepreneurs
have to forfeit their pension and retirement savings plan
contributions in order to finance business expansion. In
effect. the business becomes their retirement plan. One of
the purposes of the enhanced capital gains exemption was to
provide some balance between those who are member of
pension plans and those who use their business as a source of
retirement income. Thus, the enhanced capital gains
exemption plays a doubly valuable role in our small business
and farming economy."
Since speculation about a possible repeal of the capital
gains exemption started to surface prior to the last two
federal bugets, most wealthy Canadians have already taken
action to utilize their exemption. Mr. Glover pointed out
"that the elimination or reduction of the capital gains
exemption would penalize the middle and lower income
Canadians who either have not accrued significant capital
gains M bate or have been unable, because of the long term
natureof the investment to trigger the gain."

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES:ONE
James Kudelka, the Na-
tional Ballet's Artist in
Residence has created The
Actress expressly for
prima ballerina Karen
Kain and she dances the ti-
tle role to virtual perfec-
tion.
The conditional is added
only because Miss Kain
still surprises with her con-
tinuing excellence, in the
truest sense of that often
misused word. Just when
one believes that she has
achieved perfection in a
role, the lady improves
upon it in later perfor-
mances. Still, anything bet-
ter than that of opening
night would be little short
of miraculous.
The Actress is an
amalgam of Thornton
Wilder's play of the same
name, Joseph
Mankiewicz's screen play
All About Eve and Glen
Tetley's ballet La Ronde.
As The Actress. Miss
Kain is seen as same in the
twilight of her career
recalling the events of her
life and receiving the many
personages who have been
a part of her seemingly full
but sadly empty life.
Of course she dances, oh
my how she dances, with a
series of partners and
ensembles in pictures and
tableaux that graphically
illustrate the performing
and actual life of The Ac -
Mr. Kudelka's
choreography is to the
music of Chopin (piano
soloist Gary Arbour really

in the curtain calIs i and the
simplicity of both combine
into poignancy.
It's not a sad ballet -
there are a few mornents of
hugb comedy, about which
more later - but neither is it
a joyous one except for the
dancing.
The cast is large and the
tableaux brief so one is
hard pressed to single out
individual excellence in
support of Miss Kain. One
must report. however. the
continuing pleasure of wat-
tiVdlJes

Wear
ching young dancers
Robert Tewsley and Robert
Conn in their brief ap-
pearances and Chan Non
Goh muchly impressed as a
young ballerina poised to
take over the mantle of
greatness from The Ac-
tress.
Praise, too, for Jeremy
Ranson in his comic turn as
a director. Mr. Ransom
could not be aware of it but
he beautifully parodied the
late Busby Berkeley.
En fin, The Actress
belongs to Karen Kain: she
is The Actress in every step
and in every nuance of
facial expression and body
movement.
The ending is pure
theatre as, after her final
dramatic dance, she pulls
the curtain across the stage
and faces her audience for
perhaps the last time.
When Ethel Barrymore
would take her final cur-
tain, her speech was
always "That's all there is.
There isn't anv amore...
With Karen Kain, one
never knows.
Encore please.
ON YOUR TOES: M0
The Actress was preced-
ed by Paquita and Forgot-
ten Land.
The former is a delightful
bon bon. It featured the
beautiful Margaret II-
Imann and the princely
Rex Harrington to the
choreography of Natalia
Makarova after Petipa. It's
always a pleasure.
In fairness, one must
concede that Forgotten
Land. abich we initially
felt was best forgotten,
does grow on one with its
over all feeling of dark
foreboding. Even so. The
Column still regards Jiry
Klian's choreography as
little better than a spurious
piece of spastic plastic or
vice versa.
And did we only imagine
overhearing someone
remark that Rita MacNeill
should stroll across stage
from time to time'
ON STAGE
Not that our encomia tru-
ly count for much but we
Around and About
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
continue to enjoy and be
impressed by the excellent
writings of Joanna Glass.
To date, and under the
auspices of the Canadian
Stage Company, we have
had the pleasure of
Yesteryear and To Grand-
mother's House We Go.
Her latest play, If We Are
Women, is in current
residence at the Blum Ap-
pel theatre and it's that
rarity of theatre: a literate
work that's funny as bell,
with no cheap laughs.
Truth to tell, a perceptive
audience will realize that
the laughter is in fact over
life itself. The Creator gave
humankind the gift of
laughter because life itself
is frequently nothing to
laugh about. (Dare we hope
that we're writing jut a lit-
tle like Ms. Glass')
If We Are women brings
together four women. One
is in mourning for the re-
cent death of a lover. She is
with her adolescent
daughter, her mother and
her mother-in-law.
Jessica, the bereaved
one. is a successful writer.
She is literate and witty but
evidently bearing more
than scats of recent death.
Her daughter is ... well,
she's typical adolescent
with the answers to
everything and the solution
to nothing. Her mother is
earth wise but illiterate
and still harbouring barely
banked fury over her lot in
life. The mother-in-law is
an intellectual Jewish
agnostic also in apparent
control of her life but
rather more railing against
it than accepting it.
The play is largely
autobiographical and mild-
ly purgative. Mind you,
there"s no primal scream
here. only the outpourings
of four women leavened by
wit and humour.

Sir the last of the
great. but dying breed of
Jessica. She's attractive.
witty and on the surface of
things. what every woman
wishes for herself. Yet. she
allows one to sense rather
than experience the chinks
in her armour worn to
purge the demons of an
unhappy childhood and not
always satisfactory adult
life.
Ruth McIntosh as the
daughter is essence of her
role. -.bright but not clever,
knowledgeable but not
knowing.
As the mother-in-law,
Rita Howell wisely resists,
or has been so directed by
Susan Cox to present simp-
ly another Yiddisher
mama. Oh, the inflections
are there but the delivery is
such that her lines draw
laughter of themselves and
not because of her slightest
of accent. (When seeing
her daughter in a pair of
leggings, she say "For this
you waxed your legs?!".
Good stuff.
One could weep over
Patricia Hamilton's por-
trayal of the illiterate
mother. She is not unat-
tractive, she is wise and, in
her own way, articulate.
Yet, such is her burden that
everyone instinctively feels
sorry for this likeable
woman. But, she doesn't
want sympathy and
perhaps not even, love. She
wants respect.
If We Are Women could
be seen by some to be
rather too rambling and
possibly it is. The words of
English actor, managers,
is in a bad way tonight.
With Herculean effort on
the part of Norman, the
dresser. Sir finally does

mance of King Lear while a

formance?

times.
Ms. Glass, however,
delivered by a superb cast
are such that one is willing
for once to eschew the
thoughts of last trains or
babysitters or parking lots
for the pleasure of hearing
them -
One wishes no con-
descension, only praise, in
suggesting that Joanna
Glass writes the way Ned
Simon would like to. And,
to hell with ending another
sentence with a preposi-
tion!
IN CONCERT

mitted?) that being a
writer is easy but McKen-
zie Porter has written that
to live like a king, one
should become a colum-

His words came back to
us as we lunched cosily at
Auberge Pommier follow-
ing Livent's an-
nouncements of the 94 95
Season at the Recital Hall
in the North York Perform-
ing Arts Centre. (That's a
cumbersome title. Couldn't
it be given as easier name?
We'd cherfully plump for
Drabinskv Hall).
The program is most im-
pressive and proof that the
hall's 93194 season isn't a
one trick pony. The usual
bug bear of limited space
precludes mention of all
scheduled attractions but
let us make readers
salivate over just a few of
them.

exclusive Toronto ap-

Now, and at the risk of
phillistenism, one must
comment upon one of the
artists scheduled for The
Innovators Series. She is
percussionist Evelyn Glen-
nie who is hearing disad-
vantaged; i.e. hard of hear-
ing, possibly deaf. The
temptation is not eschewed
to raise the consideration
of cause and effect.
Oh yes, the food at lun-
cheon. It was a buffet and
each offering could stand
alone. Gorgeous Catherine

New Facilities At Southwest
Florida International Airport
Canada 3000 charter
flight passengers became
the first visitors to clear
the new Federal Inspection
Station at Southwest
Florida International Air-
port on Dec. 20.
The Toronto passengers
were met by a welcoming
party - internationally -
costumed greeters waving
Canadian Flags and
Canada 3000's own mascot,
Air Bear. Once through
customs they were given
small gifts and mementos
to mark the occasion.
The airport's new 55,000
square foot addition houses
the expanded Federal In-
spection Station as well as
additional passenger
ticketing and commuter
waiting areas. This ter-
minal addition increases
the number of passengers
that can be cleared through
customs from the current
150 per hour to the 400 per
hour required to accom-
modate transatlantic
flights. It also allows the
dual use of existing gates
for both international and
domestic flights.
Work is also underway to
lengthen Southwest Florida
International Airport's
runway from 8,400 feet to
12,000 feet. While the air-
port has served interna-
tional passengers -
primarily Canadian
charter flights - for many
years, the international
terminal expansion and
runway lengthening will
allow Southwest Florida In-
ternational Airport to serve
nonstop transcontinental
and transatlantic interna-
tional flights. As Southwest
Florida becomes an in-
creasingly popular destina-
tion for international
visitors, the airport will be
"ready to serve the world"

Skican Celebrates 25 Years With Innovative Ski Holidays
Twenty five years ago,
Skican pioneered the "Ski
Canada First" philosophy
which promoted ski
holidays in the mountains
of western Canada at a
time when skiers were
flocking to Europe. Now in
1994, Canada's premiere
ski operator is again on the
leading edge of ski holiday
packages.
Beginning in February,
Skican will introduce
Tremblant Grande Vitesse,
new three and four day ski
packages to Mont
Tremblant which accom-
modate consumers' price
and time restrictions.
"Short duration holidays
have been very successful
for sunshine destinations
because they met the
changing needs of the con-
sumer," according to
Robin Nasmith, General
Manager, of Skican. "Our
short duration ski vaca-
tions will be a success not
only because of the ac-
cessibility factor, but also
because of the speed, com-
fort and convenience of
modern motor coach travel
and the superior ski ex-
perience now established
at Mont Tremblant. Even
the name reflects speed -
Grande Vitesse."
Mont Tremblant was
selected by Skican because
of the revitalization and
development efforts of In-
trawest Group of Van-
couver - the developers of
the highly successful
Blackcomb Resort at
Whistler. Among the many
changes that intrawest has
made during their $413
million dollar expansion
are expanded trails, new
lifts, a slope -side walking
village and a spectacular
Mountain top lodge.

dable ski holidays to Mont.

which has all the amenities

The package is available
from Feb. 6 to April 10, and
prices start at 5265 for a
three or four day excur-
sion.
The package price in-
cludes: round trip transfer
to Mont Tremblant, three
of four nights accommoda-
tion and three or four day
lift ticket. Accommodation
options include: standard
hotel rooms in the rustic
Tremblant Lodge or the
recently renovated ski -in,
ski -out condominiums. the

and apres ski activities;

commodation at Villa
Bellevue which features
daily breakfast and dinner,
a fitness centre, whirlpool
and sauna. Departures are
on Thursdays (3 day) and
Sundays ( 4 day ).
About Mont Tremblant
:Mont Tremblant features
4 express quad chairs. 1
regular quad chair, 2 triple
chairs and 2 surface lifts on
a 2,131 foot vertical with 425
acres of ski terrain. The
resort features a new
pedestrian village which
blends historical architec-
ture with new base accom-
modations and shops in a
charming Quebecois set-
ting.

Metro's Revised Draft Official Plan Goes Public
Work on the new

the wise management of
environmental, social and
economic change. The

the plan will be deliberated
first by Metro's economic
development and planning
committee, and then by

June 6, 1944: D -Day
On the eve of June 6, 1944,
160,000 Allied soldiers
waited impatiently to begin
their mission: the assault
of a 65 km stretch of Nor-
mandie coast. It was well
kntowr that the first 24
hours would be critical to
the outcome of the war.
That evening, a fleet of
5.wo vessels left England
and aircraft began taking
off at 7 second intervals.
Shortly after midnight.
American airborne troops
landed on the western side.
near Ste-Mere-I'Eglise
while on the eastern flank.
British parpatroopers took
two bridges crossing the
river Orne. As night pro -
ceded, Allied aircraft and
vessels bombed the
beaches while French
Resistance fighters
dynamited railways and
severed telephone cables.
Dawn broke over Nor-
mandie, and the landing
began. Canadian, British
and French troops invaded
the beaches in the east
code-named Gold. Juno
and Sword, while to the
west the American soldiers
attacked Omaha and Utah
beaches. Omaha saw the
heaviest fighting of these
beaches. By nightfall the
Americans had advanced a
mile inland, while the
Canadian. British and
French forces overwhelm-
ed their beaches and ad-
vanced three miles inland
towards Caen.
5Atb Anniversan of D-Dav
The people of France.
and especially of Norman -
die, have never forgotten
what the Allied Forces did
for them. The anniversary
of the Liberation has
always been respected, but
as this year marks the 50th
anniversary more than 300
special events and com-
memorative ceremonies
have been planned
throughout the year and in
dozens of tower.
The Memorial de Caen is
an interactive museum
dedicated to world peace,
hope and brotherhood and
has welcomed more than
two million visitors since
its inauguration in 1988.
The Memorial will be the
site of the very special
events on June 6 events
honouring the Allied
veterans. This event is ex-
pected to draw tens of
thousands of visitors, in-
cluding the heads of state
of the Allied countries.
The region of Normandie
is expected to be very busy
duri ng the week of June 34
but visitors should have no
problem fielding accom-
modation after this time.
For that peak week. hotels
have been booked as far
away as Paris and some
visitors will be staying on

grants totalling $6,260 to
carry out their ideas. The
funds are being provided
through a unique youth pro-
gram called Bell United
Wave, initiated by United
Way of Greater Toronto
and sponsored by Bell On-
tario.
The community service
projects will tackle diverse
issues such as eating
disorders, violence against
women, multiculturalism,
anti -racism, environmen-
talism and seniors. Some of
the activities which will
receive funding include: a
two week project to
heighten awareness about
eating disorders: a visiting
program to children at
Bloorview• Hospital to pro-
vide young patients with
afterschool programming:
and a video for physically
disabled teem designed to
break down the prejudicial
barriers between
"ablebody" teenagers and
those with physical
disabilities.
Piloted in 1990 with 20
North York students, Bell
United Wave fosters young
leadership and volun-
tarism ski Its and is the only
program of its kind in
Canada. Using the United
Wav allocations model,
young people first research
and identify the needs of
their community. design
programs to address those
needs and then apply to
student -run committees for
funding support. Once the
proposals are approved,
the community service pro-
jects are carried out by the
students. As participants
are quick to point out, the
program is run by
students, for students.
"We're very impressed
with the calibre and
creativity of community
service projects being
undertaken and also with
the funding choices made
by these young people,"
said Anne Golden, Presi-
dent of United Way of
Greater Toronto. "Much
thought and caring went in-
to developing project ideas
as well as the decision
making process."
Murray Makin, Presi-
dent of Bell Ontario, said,
"We're very proud of our
participation in Bell United
Wave. It's especially grati-
fying to see these young
people getting so involved
in their communities and
developing talents like pro-
ject management, leader-
ship and public speaking,
skills that they might not
develop in school."
This year, more than 300
students from North York,
Scarborough. Toronto and
East York high schools are
involved. As estimated
3.500 students and com-
munity members will
benefit from the communi-
ty service projects that are
implemented.
