Mav 25.19M Opinion a page for expression for you and us Keep Its Promise Dear Editor: On Mar. 27,1988, the Hon. Jake Epp stated to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Cancer Society at its 50th an- niversary dinner that he had spoken to his cabinet col- leagues that week and received the commitment that Bill C-51 (The Tobacco Products Control Act) would be passed by the House of Commons before the summer recess. Also, on Mar. 15th, the Hon. Doug Lewis was quoted in the Toronto Star that Bill C-51 was one of the "Government's top initiatives" for passage before June 30th. The time is running out. The government is only a few days away from the point where, logistically, it will be ex- tremely difficult, if not impossible, to obtain approval of the House Senate and Royal Assent before the House prorogues and the bill dies. The federal government by its own statements has acknowledged that tens, and probably hundreds of thousands. of preventable deaths hang in the balance unless a significant intervention in the tobacco epidemic takes place. Bill C-51 is the Government's promised response. We are simply insisting, for an entire generation of kids, that the Government act with integrity and keep its promise. Yours truly, Ron Potter President, Ontario Division Canadian Cancer Society. Bob's Notes S412.82n To Improve Sewage Metropolitan Toronto has receivtd $412.329 as first pay- ment for sewage and water worms projects. The projects in- clude power supply expansion, equipment replacement and primary tank improvernents at the Ashbridges Bay treat- ment plant, and watermain construction on Finch Avenue in Willowdale. In addition. improved locker room and washroom facilities will be installed at the Humber plant to meet Ministry of Labour standards. Partners at a Generating Station Lakeview coal-fired generating station in Mississauga has joined a "Partners in Education" program.

Students at Gordon Graydon are able to tour the station. and teachers can arrange for sta- tion staff to speak to their classes and advise on cease can - tent. In return, Lakeview station staff can take classes at the school. and use school facilities such as gym equipment, book rooms and school catering services. I -k view is the first Ontario Hydro pian[ to participate in a Partners in Education program. McMillan Receives Award The U.S. Sierra Club.

Ed Fulton Minister d Trsnspe tstlon MPP Scarborough East F.4,1119t\ES IS THE FO('US OF GOVERNMENT AP- PROACH TO St'NDAY SHOPPING The Govenunent of Ontario has announced its intention to amend the current Acts regarding retail business openings. The Dills to be anwaded are tbe-Betail Bmg mess Holidays Act and the Employment Standards Act. The proposed legislation is fair because it: *allows freedom of cfioice for Ontario communities is workable and enforceable 'provides effective protection for all retail workers *provides for an orderly transition over a five-year period *protects religious groups *treats retailers more equitably The Government undertook to change the previous legislation because it was widely abused. This Government, and former governments. recognize that the law as it cur- rently stands is unworkable and subject to widesTread abuse. Its application was becoming difficult to enforce. particularly in many urban centres. The new legislation is based on fairness: it allows freedom of choice for Ontario communities to determine their own unique needs while providing a gradual• orderly transition over a five-year period: it is workable and en- forceable• so it will not be subject to widespread abuse: it provides fair and effective protection of all retail workers: It protects religious groups. it treats retailers more ......................... Bob's Notes Want New ideas ----• .................................... Five special awards will be offered by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation for new• ideas that will create more suitable and affordable housing for seniors. The Housing Awards Program will see presentations to this vear's winners of a trophy and a certificate of achieve- ment at the national conference on Housing Options for Older Canadians, to be held in Halifax, Oct. 18-20. Multicultural Grants The National Council of Jewish Women of Canada, Downsview has received a $900 provincial grant to host a conference to increase volunteer membership. The Bendel -Canada Cultural Association, Toronto, has been awarded $1947 to host a multicultural symposium. equitably. and it provides a consistent framework for the Province. While establishing this framework. the legislation never- theless recognizes that the Province is a diverse, multicultural, dynamic mix of communities. The Government proposals give communities freedom of choice in determining their own individual needs and pass- ing bylaws to permit the opening or require the ckasing of retail establishments on Sunday in keeping with their own values. The local option will be exercised by regional govern- ments. where they exist, or by appropriate local govern- ments. This ensures that bylaws will reflect the choices of the broader community. Iam' self-determination is already a cherished fact of life in this Province. Ontario communities already have the right to regulate such things as weekday and Saturday openings and liquor sales. The proposed legislation is a logical extension of $bee rights. The framework law includes proposals directed at fairness and enforceability. As soon as the law is proclaim- ed, the Echoing changes willoccur: There will be protection for all retail workers who will have the night to refuse unreasonable assignment of Sunday work. This is consistent with equality rights as defined by the courts under the (barter. Similarly. retail lessees will have the freedom to choose whether to open or close on Sun- day, without threat of reprisal. Recognizing the multicultural diversity of our Province, there will be a new Sabbatanan exemption which protects retailers who observe a Sabbath other than Sunday. This reflects the Supreme Court of Canada's interpretation of freedom of religion under the Charter. To deal with issues raised concerning Boxing Day, December 26 will be made a public holiday. It will carry the same protection afforded to people under the Ernployrnent Standards Act. The Government has also ensured that abuses will end making the new law more enforceable and ironing out the areas that were frequently abused. The tourism exemption, per se, will be eliminated. Communities have used it to allow Sunday openings for everything from hand -made fur- niture stores to fruit stands. Under the proposed legislation, communities will still be able to exempt whatever areas they wish without having to disguise them as tourism at- tractions. To deal with abuses and anomalies which have occurred under the current legislation regarding drug stores, rules will be simplified. The determining factor will now be size is maximum of 5,000 square feet), not on the number of employees or type of goods sold. The practice of "roping off' will come to an end, after a one-year transition period thus ending abuses. And, in future, the penalties for those breaking the law will be in- creased to $50,000 from $10,000 acting as a potent deterrent against breaking the law. Altogether, the proposed legislation offers a fair, coherent framework for change and a reasonable period of time to institute some of those changes. �wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww�wiwwwwwww�wwwwiwwiw�ww� i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! i A year's subscription to one of these newspapers f SCARBOROUGH A INCOURT WEST HILI ' news news news ' CHECKTHE NORTHYORK EAST END LK RIN, ' I ONE YOU WANT new ne O ' 1 � Send $12 cheque, money order or VISA number (plus expiry date) to: Watson Publishing Company Limited 150 Milner Ave., Unit 35 Scarborough, Ont.M1S 3R3; Name- Joe ame r” Wed.

Wait a minute, don't go away. People used to say that they enjoyed the orchestra because it never changed. Well, if one were to listen to recodtngs of the band, made over the years it is quickly apparent that the band was always changing but ever so subtly. So it is with La Cage. Oh, the carpets up the stair- ways, still have the tacky, pink feathers and the staff are still dressed like something out of a Palm Springs mixed bordello. The lighting and fur- nishings are still essence of tack and the sound system is state of the ark. And yes, there are still the female impersonators or rather, men imper- sonating females ..

On the evening of our atten- dance the entr6e was chicken, tasty but not memorable. We suggest it's best for one to remember that you're there for the crime and its solution but don't, at all costs, take it seriously. Take it for laughs and you'll be mildly or greatly amused by the antics of the cast. The players are Jada Charron, Kirk Dunn. Linda Finlay. Paula Gregg, Ray James. Danny Wengle and Timm Zenanek. The last named plays the police in- spector and he's good, real- ly good. He looks rather like the introverted patient on the old, old Bob Newhart Show and acts rather like a hyped up Columbo.

John Eakins, Minister of Municipal Af- fairs, has introduced in the legislature a bill to im- prove the local government electoral process in On- tario. "It is very important that the process by which municipal, school board and public utilities com- mission representatives are elected is as open and accessible as possible," Mr. Eakins said. "This legislation will make the local government election process more ac- cessible to both candidates and voters," he said, "and it will make the process more open in that cam- paign contributions and ex- penses will become a mat- ter of public record." The legislation introduc- ed will make several changes in the rules gover- ning local government elections. Campaign expenses will be limited, based on a for- mula related to the number of electors in the jutrisdica- tioo withid which the can- didate is running. For heads of council, the for- mula will be $5,500 plus $.50 per elector. For all other candidates, the formula will be $3,500 plus $.50 per elector. Campaign contributions to a candidate will be limited to $750 per cow tributor. Municipalities. school boards and public utilities commismions will be establish an per - nutted op- tional campaign contribu- tion rebate system, with the rebate - a percentage of the contribution up to a maximum of 5350 - ft:dei by the jurisdictions that adopt the system. Candidates will be re- quired to disclose cam- paign contributions and spending. This disclosure will take the form of an audited statement for any candidate in a jurisdiction that has adopted a con- tribution rebate system, or for any candidate that raises or spends more than 520.000: an unaudited state- ment for any candidate that raises or spends $1.000 to $20,000; or a statutory declaration for any can- didate that raises and spends less than $1,000. Two mandatory advance polls will be required, rather than the one that is currentl Hours yfor and regular polls will be stan- dardized_ All polls will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Any elector who is unable to attend the poll will be permitted to vote by proxy. Advance polls will be re- quired to be accessible to disabled and physically - challenged voters for the 1988 elections, and all polls will be required to be ac- cessible for the 1991 elec- tions. Recotmts will be con- ducted by a recount officer - generally the municipal clerk - rather than the courts. Recounts will automatically be under- taken, when requested by a candidate within seven days of the declaration of results, if the spread bet- ween the winning can- didate and the runner-up is less than half a vote per Poll. Appeals, disputes and ir- regularities will continue to be dealt with by the courts. Elected representatives will be required to main- tain their qualifications for the duration of their term. This means a local govern- ment representative's seat would be declared vacant if he or she moved away from the municipality and was no longer eligible to vote in that municipality. Mr. Eakins said he ex- pects the reforms to be in place in time for the Nov. 14th, 1988 local government elections. Bob Hicks Rescues Day Camp by Gay Abbate Scarborough MP Bob Hicks has rescued a sum- mer day camp program for some 640 needy Scar- borough children. The camp. operated by the East Scarborough Boys' and Gids' Chub, has provided the camp to West Hill needy children for years but cutbacks in federal funding put the pro - grain in jeopardy this year. In fact, the club was ready to announce its demise whm Hicks, who represents the area, managed to get the necessary funds. The dub needs 536,000 to run the summer camp which takes kids out of the city during the hot months. However, its grant request was reduced to 510,000 only enough to offer arts and crafts and sports activities at the centre on Galloway Rd. Through the office of the federal Ministry of State for Youth. Hides managed to corse up with the rest of the funds needed. Board president Don Taylor said the directors are embarking on a fund- raising campaign for next year's camp so as not to de- pendentirely on govern- ment handouts.

Mushinski told a tenants' meeting last week that the numbered company which owns the 98 townhouse unit complex, Brimell Couirt, at Brimley and Ellesmere Roads is acting unscrupulously by boar- ding up units when there is a shortage of affordable housing. Rent for the units is about $600 per month. Ten units have been boarded up to date.

Tenants say the landlord is trying to drive them out so he can redevelop the property. Chan said the landlord intends to keep the complex as townhouses. Mushinski has asked the city's fire, and health departments to look at whether the boarded units represent a hazard. The ci- ty has already issued several work orders for some 60 property stan- dards violations. Mushinski said the landlord had a history of neglect. She said some of the problems include sewage backups, broken bricks. leaky walls and ceilings, broken walls, faul- ty lighting and decayed window casements. rangements for this unique - in Canada - combination of a male chorus, mandolin orchestra and folk dancers, are done by conductor/ar- ranger Walter Babiak who is best known for his musical arrangements and conducting of the National Ballet Orchestra.

And, it has proven to be an unqualified suc- cess with 45 holes of golf, 19 tennis courts and five swimming pools. Because of these extensive sporting facilities, the village will host two weeks of tennis festivals and four weeks of golf festivals this summer.

Villages to choose from include 'Tbe Sandpiper" ( Port St. Lucie, Florida) : "St. George's Cove" (Ber- muda) : "T rkoise" ( Turks & Caicos Islands): "Paradise Island" ( Bahamas) ; or "Sonora Bay"; and lxtapa" (Mex- ico). Clean Beaches Open June 11-12 Clean, supervised beaches will be open throughout the summer at three conservation areas in the Metro Toronto region, beginning on the weekend of June 11-12, and opening daily from June 18. In addi- tion, a large dish pool will be open at a fourth conser- vation area. The beaches, operated by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, are located at Albion Hills, Heart Lake, and Bruce's Mill Conserva- tion Areas. In addition to the natural beaches, the MTRCA operates a large dish pool - more than half a hectare in size - at Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, on White's Road. south of Hotel and retaurant cuisine in Barbados was put to the test recently at the 1968 Dining Festival by a 10 member international team of judges which in- cluded two Canadian food experts. Tricia Rendall, dietician and Olga Truchan, food stylist, both of Toronto visited 26 hotels and restaurants incognito to judge culinary excellence in quality, interest, presen- tation and service. Rendall, a dining festival judge two years ago, saw overall improvements since her last visit. She noted that cuisine in the hotels was superior both in service and food. Truchan, disappointed in the food during a visit 5 years earlier, commented 'it has been delightful to experience the cuisine". They both felt, however. that more effort should be taken with the luncheon menu as this was the meal for which MAP ( Modified American Plan) guests would pay separately. Truchan suggested that more use could be made of such foods as roti. which could be held in the hand like a hamburger or hot dog• but was definitely more exotic to visitors. In their opinion, food in a West Indian country was not expected to be bland but it should not be too heavy. Gold, silver and bronze awards were presented to the winners at a dinner held at the Royal Pavdhon Hotel. StAlaases. In the category A of over 100 rooms the Grand Bar- bados Beach Resort and Sandy Lane Hotd won a geld and the Hilton Interna- tioml received a bronze award. In the category B - 30 of 99 rooms the Cobbles Cove received a gold award and Colony Club and Royal Pavillion got a bronze. In the category C of under 30 rooms Treasure Beach won a geld, Sand- piper Inn a silver and Buc- caneer Bay Hotel a bronze. In the restaurant category, the gold award went to Brown Sugar, Silver to Raffles and bronze to Pisces. The Dining Festival, in- augurated four years ago to maintain and raise the standard of cuisine in Bar- bados, is the first and only festival of its kind in the Highway 401, in Pickering. Swimming at the beaches is included in the parking fee for the conser- vation areas, but there is a small additional charge to use the pool at Petticoat Creels. The pool fee is .75t per person on weekdays, $1 per person on weekends and holidays. All four conservation areas feature refreshment facilities, change rooms, and picnic and barbecue areas. They are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. through June and July, to 8 p.m. in August The Metro Toronto Zoo has a new and most unusual resident with a very intriguing background. The newcomer is an African tree pangolin (Manis tncuspis ). A pangolin resembles an elongated pinecone with a long snout, tail and legs. Dfo;t of its body is covered �W&ifires that give its name its meaning - ..spiny anteater". The Zoo's pangolin is an adult male. The newest resident was purchased from a hunter by a peace Corps worker in Liberia. The pangolin, which had been named "Phillip". was them seat to the Zoo's Curator of Mam- mals, John Carnio, who was in the area on a research expedition with the Royal Ontario Museum. While pangolins are not rare in the wild. they are extremely uncormmon in captivity, mostly because it is difficult to reproduce their steady diet of arts. It was thought advisable to begin research into the possibility of feeding this animal on an artificial diet while it was still numerous in the wild rather than waiting until it became scarce. Pangolins are found in both Asia and in Africa where they are either ter- restrial or arboreal (the Zoo's pangolin is arboreal) . This species has no teeth; it uses its 25 cm sticky tongue to catch ants which are ground up by d* muscular walls of its stomach (with the help of a few pebbles). When frightened and away from shelter, the pangolin will roll itself up into an ar- moured ball which is almost iahpossible to open.

"The amazing thing is the enormous goodwill at- tending this whole process," said Bryan Cuthill, Chairman of the ".Chamber" group. "Our endorsements just keep growing and growing. I don't know how anyone, especially civic politicians can fail to recognize the signficance of the grass roots support we have generated. Its been there all along. Someone just had to show a little initiative to tapthe well," said Cuthill. ..What's so exciting about this project is that we have reached virtually the entire ethno-cultural business spectrum in North York. It's literally a new -eality. It's Mel Lastman's North York, not the North ,'irk of tenor twenty years ,moo.'' said Cuthill. When asked how he Meved such a broad bas - constituency, Cuthill -.1A. "A great working remittee, lots of shoe • ;,:her. a smile, and a solid argument for an autonomous North York Chamber of Commerce. Most North York business people want autonomy, not some sort of paternalistic, satellite, or dependency relationship with a Metro Board of Trade. That sort of thing has never worked in the past, and never will in the future. It's quite one thing to work with a group, while it's quite another to owe your very existence to them. No rational person wants that," said the chair- man. "When we are firmly established, we can sit down and work out an equitable co -equal ar- rangement with the Board of Trade. What amazes me," said Cuthill, "is that the Board of Trade seems to think they hold rights to the name North York Chamber of Commerce. Apparently, they did the same thing in Scarborough, Etobicoke, and York. For- tunately, our name search stows no such title. Why would they do that anyway'. Is that in North York's best interest"' "What we want right now is an opportunity to present our constituency and our case to North York City Mackie Says Developer Using Delay Tactics bGay Abbate A Scarborough developer using delaying tactics to zea out of making repairs to new homes, says Alder- • -:,n John Mackie. Mackie said Senator Homes has bad two years o clear up all outstanding .deficiencies in its 100 home subdivision at Sheppard Ave. E. and Kingston Rd. but there are still some 15 outstanding items in- cluding seven violations I nder the Ontario Building Code. "I don't consider this developer ethical or the type of builder vie want in Scarborough," Mackie said. Sundry Marine Aecassorlss Canoe a a Rewe Omcft a Pans SW aatrlw for ESKA.

The committee has given Senator Homes another fount weeks to clear up the items. Due to pi esstae from committee, the developer hes fixed the ma- jority of items. Resident spokesman Alf Mallin said there were originally well over 500 individual items Items still outstanding include: windows which do not open, too -short eavestrough, mortar washing out between bricks and leaking shower bases. Senator Homes spokesman Paul Breda told committee that his com- pany is working to fix all the items. Neither the committee nor Mackie said what ac- tion they would take if the deadline is not met. Council. We want them to grant us use of the name, North York Chamber of Commerce. Quite frankly, with the initiative we have shown and the support we can demonstrate, we deserve a hearing. Besides that, we will make sure, just as we have already done, that no one will be left out of the process. We're out to build a new reality, not just preserve the status quo," said Cuthill. "We're here for everyone, and we can't af- ford to allow any one business group to put its preservation or self in- terest ahead of all the others. No one group is big enough to merit that kind of preferential treatment," he said. Cuthill went on to say that the first step in the process is to appear before the Development and Economic Growth Commit- tee chaired by Councillor Paul Sutherland. "We will present Councillor Sutherland and his com- mittee with signed pledges and other relevant documentation which will clearly substantiate our claim to a broad biased con- stituency." said Cuthill. "f'm looking forward to that meeting on May 19th as a first positive step on the way to a North York Chamber of Commerce. That's the dream and this will help move it a little closer to becoming a reali- ty. The City holds the ke} , and Councillor Sutherland appears to be the gatdoeeper. The one thing that can't happen is for us to be put an hold" said Cuthill. "Initiatives can't be hung out to dry, or en- trepreneurs staked out on an anthill. We were asked privately by some members of council to deliver a solid consbtuten- cy and that's -a-hat we've date. over 5.0oo strong. I guess you could say that is delivering the goods," said Cuthill. Mailing Lists COMPUTERIM sorting and compiling of coupons or entry forms for Your MAILING LIST.

Guild Inn: Past & Present The natural beauty, history, art and future of one of Scarborough's most famous landmarks will be highlighted in a program at Guildwood Branch Library. "The program will give everybody an idea of what we're all about," says Gab- by Schniek, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Guild Inn. "The inn was originally built in 1914 by Colonel Bickford as The Guild Of All Arts, but the public may not be aware that the property also in- cludes one of the oldest log cabins in the area dating back to 1795." The Inn continued to serve as 9 focus for artists through the years, thanks to the efforts of Rosa and Spencer Clark who pur- chased the property from Bickford in 1932. "The site was converted to a naval base and military hospital in 1942," says Schick. "The Clarks returned in 1947 and re- established the Guild Of All Arts - eventually the building was opened as the Guild Inn. Mr. Clank was responsible for collecting the property's interesting pieces of stonework and carvings during that time. The land was purchased by the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority following Mr. Clark's death in 1984... Ms. Schick will present a short video on the Guild Inn, talk about some future plans and introduce Historical Curator Grace Ryan, who will discuss the inn's history, its art and some of its well-known visitors. The program will be presented on Teles. May 31 at Guildwood Branch Library, Guildwood Plaza, starting at 8:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Celebrating Seniors' Month In celebration of Seniors' Month, artist Frank Rowley will display some of his coloured pencil draw- ings at Agincourt Branch Library, Agincourt Mall.

My brother and I saw a strange, greenish -yellow, warty fruit at a craft festival last weekend. Someone told us it was an Osage orange. Could you tell me something about this fruit? P.M. A. Osage oranges are produced by the Osage orange tree, a medium sized tree originally native to Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The tree takes its name from the Osage In- dians of that region who used the strong, durable wood to make bows and war clubs of superior quality. Since Osage orange has great resistance to rot, it was in great demand by the pioneers, who used it to make railroad ties, fence posts and wagon wheels. Huge native stands of Osage orange were harvested wholesale. Luckily, the suitability of the Osage orange as a of ant kept the tree from extinction. Before the inventionof barbed wire, farmers used the tree as a living fence for livestock because of its thick bushy growth and sharp thorns. As a result thousands of miles of hedgerows were planted throughout the Midwest. Today the hedgerows serve as windbreaks and wildlife shelter and many fanners still use the wood for fenceposts. Woodworkers and craftspeople use the wood as a soiree of natural dye and the fruit in decorative craftwork. Queen's Park Report from Norah Stotler MPP Durham West The welt of May 29 to June 4 marks National Access Awareness Week. This week provides an opportunity to appropriately celebrate the significant achievements that have been realized by peoplie with disabilities and to set new goals for the Aidure Tits is a new initiative that will become an an- nual event in eommu robes across Canada. The goal is the establishment of "Five Star" communities where access to five basic components of community life - housing, employ- ment, transportation, recreation and education - is made available to all. While most of uus take the everyday aspects of life for granted, disabled individuals face a host of complications. Those who use wheelchairs may be tapable to mount stairs or go through a door. Visually impaired individuals may not be able to read a mew- Information and entertainment of- fered through the media of television and film is not ac- cessible to the hearing impaired unless it is dome captioned. The removal of these barriers will result in a greater degree of independence for disabled people. The steps taken to achieve the "Five Star" communities will vary depending on the need and resources of individual communities, groups or corporations. But fust the strengths and weaknesses of the communities with regard to the question of accessibility have to be assessed Once the barriers have been recognized the community can work together to remove them. Some activities would have a specific purpose such as making a local town hall accessible or equipping traffic lights with sound signals so people with visual impairment can crass easily. Other activities may be more educational such as open houses of accessible residences. Several years ago. the Ontario Government set up the Of- fice for Disabled Persons. The goal of the Office is to achieve equal opportunity for all Ontarians. The Office acts as a government focal point, encouraging a greater awareness of the specific needs of disabled people and government programs and services for the disabled. These services include a detailed guide to relevent Ontario Government programs and services and the operation of a toll free telephone number which responds to enquiries about varius programs and services. The number is 1-80x387-4456. One of the major programs operated out of the Office is the Access Fund, sponsored jointly with the Office for Senior Citizens' Affairs. The Fund, which has $15 million to allocate over 3 years, provides matching grants of up to $50,000 to community organizations for renovations to their premises that improve physical access for disabled people and senior citizens. It is the job of the Minister Responsible for Disabled Per- sons, Remo Mancini, to consult with disabled people and various organizations to ensure the interests of those with disabilities are brought to the attention of his colleagues in Cabinet and Caucus. NORAII'S NOTES: Next month, I will be introducing a Private Members' Bill in the Ontario Legislature which, if passed, will ensure that deaf people accompanied by hearing ear dogs are not discriminated against and have the same rights to access as those now enjoyed by blind people with guide dogs under the -Blind Persons' Rights Act". Under my proposed Bill "An Act to Provide for Certain Rights for Deaf Persons" no one would be able to deny a deaf person with a hearing ear dog accommodation, services or facilities available in any place to which the public is admitted. Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Riding Canada Post's 1988189 - 1992193 Corporate Plan was tabl- ed in the House of Commons this week. Although there were no new policy directions in this year's plan, their focus is on improving the reliability and accessibility of postal service and delivery in a competitive market place, and at a reasonable cost to Canadians. Canada Post also announced a crucial milestone reached by the corporation. For the first time in 30 years Canada Post will make a profit estimated to be $26 million. This is a commendable achievement given that in 1981/82 the deficit was $588 million and it was still $300 million when this government was elected in 1964. This means the customer will pay full price for the delivering of mail, not the taxpayer. I would also like to point out to you that any revenues raised will be turned back into the company to improve upon their service. The corporation's president and chief executive officer, Donald H. Lander reaffirmed the corporation's plan will focus on service. He stated "the whole purpose of our existence is to provide Canadians with efficient, reliable and affordable postal services." Canada Postt is working hard to give Canadians the im- proved postal service they demand and deserve. The cor- poration is effecting these changes to make improved postal service a reality. Canada Post is moving to provide more convenient access to postal service. something which I know many of you will be happy to hear. Over 70% of retail postal outlets today are operated by the private sector. By even further extending this century - old relationship with private enterprise, Canada Post will greatly increase the mumber of locations and hours which more closely meets the changing lifestyles of its customers. Over the next ten years. the numbers of places at which the public can access postal products and services will expand from apps mately 13.800 at present to 13.000 outlets. Within its first full six years of operation Canada Post has established a foundation upon which to build more reliable, self-sustaining postal service for all Candia at a reasonable cost to the user. pi two Board Of Education Highlights Praa•atlama ani Transl"M A!lrevC4 Brian Greenway, cur- rently seconded by the Ministry of Education, will be placed at DASE as Vice - Principal, effective Judy 1, 1938.
