Marfan Syndrome is a life-threatening genetic disorder that weakens the connective tissues of the body. It can affect the skeletal system. the eyes. and most seriously. the heart and major blood vessels, causing death or disability. However, if diagnosed early, recently developed treatments offer increased length and quality of life for Marfan patients. About 5,000 Canadians have Mar- fan Syndrome. The Canadian Marfan Association offers mutual support to Marfan -affected families, provides informa- tion to patients and health- care professionals, en- courages research, and in- creases public awareness about this deadly disease.

November It, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Remembrance by Bob Watson It was very interesting to see many more people out on Sun. Nov. 11th participating in Remembrance Day ceremonies. The one held in the Scarborough Civic Centre had a parade much larger than usual with many youngsters with the Guides. Scouts and theirppaarents and leaders. This interest was generated probably by the events in the Per- sian Gulf. When we were youngsters back in the 1930's Nov. 11th was celebrated with two minutes of silence - plus any for- mal ceremonies as well. But in the Toronto area at 11 a.m. on the 11th of Nov. all street cars would stop, cars would stop and pedestrians would stop for two minutes of silence. It %%-as most effective for remembering. Now we have federal and provincial governments closed down on Mon. Nov. 12th to give them a whole day holiday to do what' The celebration of the day is over and this is just a sheer holiday with pay. The bank; and post office are also closed slowing the economy of the country down for what reason We believe that remembrance of our fallen dead in the various wars is celebrated much better with two minutes of silence on Nov. 11th. A day off with pay is not a remem- brance celebration but sheer time off with pay. The govern- ments should abolish this ridiculous waste of public money and get down to reality. Let us remember for sure ... but do we have to have a holiday with pay to remember' Tax Our Reading by Bob Watson The valiant effort by Liberal senators to get an exemption from the coming GST for books, magazines and newspapers has failed due to the majority vote of Pro- ggrreessssive Conservative senators. It seems that there is no fceling in our federal government for "freedom of speech" or "freedom of expression" that we inherited from the British. who exempt books, magazines and newspapers from their style of GST. So community newspapers. such as this one. are forced to add 7% an to the price of its product. as newspapers have been exempt since this country started. And we predict that the provincial sales tax - which was also not applicable to newspapers - will now be applied as w -ell ... That is another 9% tax. So we have to raise the prices of our advertising space and subscriptions to this newspaper. We are sorry. dear reader-. but vtxrr complaints should be directed to Ottawa. Here and There OPP Supports Remembrance Services Hundreds of Ontario Provincial Police officers will be marching in Remembrance Day parades this Sun. Nov. 11. And a Royal Canadian Legion spokesman says their presence is welcomed by aging war veterans. Ron Scrivan. a Hailevbury OPP constable and one of nine district commanders of the Legion in Ontario, says veterans express to him great appreciation of the OPP in- volvement. Constable Scriven regularly circulates to com- munities representing the Legion. "The number of veterans is now noticeably small in some towns and villages." Scriven says. "And the continued sup- port of the OPP at local observances bolsters the spirits of the vets. man• of whom are failing in health." he says. Increase In Business In Asia Pacific Region Ontario's agriculture and food industry could achieve a 5250 mullion increase in exports to the Asia Pacific region over the next five years, according to Michael Loh. Ontario '.Ministry of Agriculture and Food I OMAF I senior represen- tative in Tokyo. "Diverse opportunties are expected, with continued market liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region in the 1990s." said Loh. "Increased sales of Ontario products will most likely result from further expansion of major existing exports such as pork and soybeans."

Good English Threatened Dear Editor: Young parents are using their children for instruments of their own personal glory in too many cases. This is done at the expense of a tbor;otigh knowledge of speaking and writing good English. Pressures from government-sponsored Francophone organizations in Canada are mostly responsible for this.

Ontario Hydro Announces Rebates For Block Timers Ontario Hydro will soon provide rebates for the purchase of energy efficient outdoor timers for use on engine block heaters. Ontario Hvdro President and CEO Robert Franklin announced Monday. The average engine block heater consumes 500 watts and If left to run for ten hours requires energy produced by bur- ning seven and half pounds of coal. Franklin said. "Now imag�rne a million cars using their block heaters all ►inter•" said Frar;lin. "To generate that much electricity at coal-fired stations requires 375.000 tons of coal." "If each of those cars was equipped with a timer, the amount of coal saved would fill the SkyDome six times," Franklin told members of the Canadian Electrical Associa- tion. Franklin pointed out that the block heater timer is only one example of technology that is available now to be easily adapted to help consumers use electricity more efficiently. Details of the timer rebate program will be announced at a later date. Recently Hydro offered a $5 rebate on energy efficient light bulbs which are being sold through a supermarket chain. The entire shipment of 20.000 sold out within a few days. and a second shipment is selling fast. During his speech to .CEA members. Franklin called for a greater partnership between utilities and governments to encourage more efficient use of electricity. Together we can make conservation real, and live com- fortably doing it. Demand :Management or sustainable development or Conserver Society - call it what you will - r•equires changes in behaviour. Such change recp ices leadership but will not worst without partnership, said Franklin. Utilities, governments and consumers have to join in a partnership in taking energy efficiency to its limits before energy producers such as Ontario Hydro can embark on the creation of energy supplies. "Radically increasing energy efficiency is both necessary and possible. But it is not easy. It will require total commitment from individuals. business and govern- ment. " Franklin noted that while government regulation is one possible method of enforcing energy efficiency. educating the consumer to the resulting environmental• economic and social benefits remains the crucial task. He also advised CEA members that in order to best serve consumers energy producers must begin thinking in terms of consumer needs and not just in terms of meeting con- sumer demands. "As leaders in the electrical industry you share some of our most pressing problems. like us, you have to do more to encourage better usage of electricity. Society needs it and, if that's not enough, your customers want it. Very soon they'll demand it." • For the nineties our first priority must be to make more efficient use of the electricity we already have. No doubt this is the best, the fastest, the most economical, the most environmentally responsible, way to meet people's need for energy services... Lawyers Support Government Review The Canadian Bar Association - Ontario (CBAO) has an- nounced its support for the provincial government's inten- tion to review the procedure whereby individuals are ap- pointed to administrative tribunals in Ontario. "This is a recommendation that the CHAO brought for- ward nearly two years ago to the previous administration," says President Garth Manning. "At that time we advocated the implementation of an Administrative Tribunals Ap- pointment Act, in order to ensure that candidates for pro- vincial statutory boards and tribunals have the expertise and knowledge to carry out their responsibilities, rather than appointment by patronage." r ------------------------------------------- i Give A Gift That Lasts A11 Year!

November 14, 1990 THE NEWS/POST Page 3 Toronto Harbour Commission Receives Historical Award What was great more than 78 years ago is con- sidered just as great today. The Toronto Harbour Commission was presented recently with an Ex- cellence on the Waterfront award for its Waterfront Plan of 1912 - the plan behind the shaping and development of Toronto's waterfront. Entered in the historic category of the 4th Annual Waterfront Centre com- petition in Washington, D.C., the THC plan was selected from more than 100 entries. "By choosing the 1912 plan, the Waterfront Cen- tre took the provocative step of recognizing good planning - not only good planning for the early part of the 20th century, but good planning for today," said Don Loucks, the THC's Development Manager/Ar- chitect who, along with THC Archivist Michael Moir, was responsible for Multi -Faith Group Wants Educational Equity On Oct. 10th, the Ontario Multi -faith Group for Equi- ty in Education, represen- ting Aboriginal, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh communities in Ontario, submitted its "Multi -faith Statement on Religious Education and Justice for All in Ontario" to the Hon. Bob Rae, Premier of Ontario, and the Hon. Marion Boyd, Minister of Education. In its statement, the Multi -faith Group affirms the right of and respon- sibility of parents to educate their children in conformity with their religious or ideological beliefs. This human right has been recognized by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1990). both of which have been endorsed by Canada. The Multi -faith Group af- firms also that. in a pluralistic society, all religious and ideological communities are entitled to legal equality and equal educational opportunity, and that such equality is guaranteed by the Cana- dian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Ontario Human Rights Code without discrimination bas- ed on religion. The Multi -faith Group has requested, therefore, that the Government of On- tario amend its current policy on public funding for and regulation of education by immediately implemen- ting policy options that are based on equality before and under the law and equal protection and benefit of the law, and equal educational oppor- tunity for all parents and all students who exercise their educational rights and responsibilities in con- formity with their religious beliefs and value frameworks, by providing Youth March Promotes Drug Free Toronto To show the city that they're drug free and pro- ud of it. hundreds of Metro arra young People will con- verge on Queen's Park on Sat. Nov. 24. The rally starts at 12:4.5 p.m. and concludes with a giant drug -awareness con- cert. It is organized by Youth Assisting Youth. a volunteer, delinquency prevention program. After a short kick-off with music and speakers. the group will parade north through Queen's Park to Blow St. and then west to the auditorium at the On- tario Institute for Studies m Education. The concert will highlight local rap stars Simply Majestic featuring B. Kool and Three Brothers from the Ghetto. Yes Oh Yes Drama Company will also perform. "Young people have to make a stand and this is their dance," said YAY Drug Awareness Coor- dinator Neil Burke. "Everybody's telling young people to 'say no to drugs'. but nobody's letting the kids make a statement. The march will let everyone know that they're making positive decisions about their lives." The March marks the end of Drug Awareness Week, organized by the Metro Drug Awareness Organizing Committee, made up of groups like the Addiction Research Foun- dation. Parents Against Drugs. Breakaway, Metro Police, RCMP and YMCA. Tickets for the concert are free but limited and can be picked up at the ral- ly registration point at Queen's Park. They can be reserved by calling Youth Assisting Youth at 265-3802.

Along with Polaroid Canada Inc., the makers of Whiskas and Pedigree and the CFHS are working together to raise money for much-needed educational brochures and videos, studies into alternatives for animal research and im- proved legislation for pro- tection of animals. "We are looking forward to the "Pet Pies With San- ta" promotion not only to raise money, but also to in- crease awareness of our activities in the communi- ty," explains Bryan Denham, Executive Direc- tor, Ontario Humane Socie- ty. "Normally animals brought into our shelter have no home and have often been abused. This gives us a chance to have fun with happy pet owners."

Noting how recent plann- ing initiatives by the THE, such as the 1990 Concept Plan, flow directly from the fundamental principles of the 1912 plan, Mr. Loucks stressed that the strength of the plan's vision and its continuing relevance to Toronto's waterfront today was the basis for its selec- tion. "Planning, by its nature, is a long term tool of development." said the Development Manager. "I find it inspiring that ideas of this quality continue to endure and have impact after 78 years."

November 14.19% Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES -ONE: Older readers and;or those who are movie buffs might recall The Great Vic- tor Herbert. Notwithstan- ding the title it was not so much about Victor Herbert as the effect that he and his music had on those he en- countered. (Incidentally and in passing, the two leads were played by Allan Jones and Susannah Foster. The latter went on to play the ingenue lead in one version of The Phan- tom of the Opera opposite Nelson Eddy.) The National Ballet's production of Don Quixote at The O'Keefe rather reminds one of The Great Victor Herbert. The Don of La Mancha features in it, of course, with his more or less faithful Sancho Panza but the story line concen- trates on those they meet during their wanderings rather than the purpose of the wanderings themselves. It doesn't really matter since the ballet is not meant to be other than light hearted but we thought we should mention that it pays only passing lip service to the writings of Cervantes. The title role in this sumptuous production belongs to Charles Kirby. This principal character artist has been with the Na- tional for over a quarter century now and his powers of characterization show no signs of diminish- ment. If anything they are getting even better if that is possible. His Don is frail but not feeble, addled but not silly, foolhardy but courageous. The role calls for relatively little by way of dance but that little he does with continuing elegance. Jacques Gorrisen effec- tively dances and prances his way through a nice in- terpretation of Sancho Pan- za but for prancing at its arguable best, one should observe Hazaros Surmeyan in action as Gamache. The latter is a wealthy fop and Mr. Surmeyan's depiction is hilariously funny; all the more so because in person the man is essence of macho. Gizella Witkowski and Serge Lavoie were the lovers Kitri and Basilio. One expects excellence from Miss Witkowsky and as always, one received it. The lady has a regal car- riage but it does not diminish nor detract from the fire and spirit necessary for full inter- pretation. Mr. Lavoie is suitably heroic but even were he not, one would be thrilled by his exciting and, we suspect, exhausting single arm full length ex- tension lifts.

Mr. Lavoie gives full measure of excitement. Now, for continuing ex- citement we suggest a star watch for Dominique Dumais and David MacGillivray as the toreador and the street dancer in a most fortuitous pairing. Each generates Circ, together, they com- bust. Another fine pairing was that of Brenda Matthews and Peter Ottmann as gyp- sy lovers. Much, much in the way of thrills. Wonder- ment too as to why Mr. Ott - mann has not yet achieved principal dancer status. He is strong, more than technically proficient and is the possessor of an elegance that is enviable. Elegance. too. has Kim Lightheart and it was much on display as she danced the role of the Queen dryad ably assisted by gorgeous Pamela Place and Caroline Richardson. The evening was not without fault, however. The first act was spiritless almost to the point of being moribund. As a small ex- ample we offer the follow- ing. The ballet takes place in Spain and the Minkus score is nicely flavoured with the Iberian. It calls for much hand clapping but much of the corps seemed only to be going through the motions. As well, its movements lacked that certain oomph called for. The pace picked up in Act II and was full blown by Act III. We could be wrong but it would not surprise us to learn that Artistic Direc- tor Reid Anderson was backstage after Act I ..kicking butt" Perhaps that was not the case but certainly something hap- pened to bring the work alive.

It has been ad- vised to us by publicist Dianne Weinrib and we make bold enough to quote directly from her well prepared release. On New Year's Eve 1990 Toronto will become the 50th and largest communi- ty in North America to hold ,a First Might Festival. First Night is an extraor- dinary communal celebra- tion of New Year's Eve. The whole city is invited to ,participate in a refreshing alternative to traditional methods of ushering in the New Year. First Night is a celebration of the arts. It will be safe and accessible to all. Alcohol will not be available and a First Night Toronto admission button 'will cost only $5 so the wtnole family can greet the New Year together. Churches will ring with choirs, theatres will re- sound with voices, com- munity centres will swing with dance and subway sta- tions will brim with the beat of world music from our culturally diverse com- munity. The antics of clowns. acrobats, street per- formers and face painters will bring the streets to life; vendors with hot dogs, chestnuts and popcorn will keep observers and par- ticipants warm. The night will beat up in earnest with fireworks for the whole family and end with a pro cession to the site of the Grand Finale. We expect there will be more information in future weeks and we will endeavour to pass it on. In the meantime though and for more information, can 1416) 360.6093.

BETTER WATCH OUT: The Santa Claus Parade takes place this Saturday and once again, Global Television will be showing it for transmission throughout Canada and North America. We hugely admire Global and are grateful for its continuing community participation. That said, however, may we urge all parents to take their children to the parade. Television is great for those who cannot attend but if you can, please take a little one. And, do it nicely; don't be crabby just because you're getting up early on a day off. BIG SCREEN: Vincent and Theo opens at Showcase Cinema this Friday. It's the latest from director Robert Altman and as the title would imply explores the relationship between artist Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo. We wish it well but have reservations. Some years ago the well known actor Vincent -"I'll do anything for a" -Price was scheduled to appear at Eaton Auditorium for an evening titled Dear Theo. He was to read from the letters - beautiful letters they are - exchanged between the two brothers. The engagement was cancelled due to lack of public response. Only 15 people had requested tickets.

Regrettably we had to miss the press screening but hope to catch up with it later. Also appearing with it is the ever popular North of Superior. It runs 18 minutes. Total running time for the two films then is only one hour and some might hesitate over a relatively long trek to the waterfront park for only an hour. We suggest that if O.P. wants to bring in substantial numbers of viewers, free parking should be provid- ed. There's certainly enough space. Just a suggestion from a well intentioned viewer who is also a taxpayer. IN PRINT: One of the producers of M. Butterfly in current residence at The Elgin is David Geffen. He is a man of many parts not the least being founder and presi- dent of Geffen Records. Let it be recorded, more or less casually. that he is also a lookalike for a very young Mel Lastman. Want proof? Have a look at the inside cover photographs of Hit Men by Fredric Danneu (Times Books Random House) . This is a hard hitting book about the recording industry in the U.S.A., how big it is, how ruthless it is and how downright dirty it frequently is. There isn't much that is new or unknown in it but one must commend the amount of research per- formed by the author; research that is meticulously documented (Continued on Page 7) In Its 14th.season 19W91 A Moon For The Misgotten by Eugene O'Neill Designed and directed by L.

As stated there has been much research but one wonders about its quality. Mr. Dannen mentions for example that Goddard Leiberson, the urbane head of C.B.C. records when it was `the Tiffany company" had been mar- ried to ballerina Vera Zorina. That might be so but we don't recall such a marriage. We do recall that he was married to Judy Holliday and that isn't mentioned. Was the author wrong or did he simply think a mar- riage to one of the great ladies of stage and screen not worthy of mention? John Hammond is men- tioned in glowing terms but no mention made of the fact that he was the brother-in-law of Benny Goodman and is generally thought to be the man who made him world famous. Was that not known, was it overlooked or again, simp. ly not considered impor- tant? One mentions those two examples only to suggest Wt perhaps the rest of the book's facts are in- complete. Even so, it's interesting and, we believe, must reading for anyone in- terested in the recording industry. FAST EXIT ONE: Speaking of omissions, our recent review of M. Butterfly refers to author David Henry. The gentleman's name is David Henry Hwa FAST EXIT TWO: We have finally realized why Joe Clark, the carbun- cle on a rump parliament is retained in caucus, let alone government. It's because he makes Brian Mulroney look better by comparison. Oooh, we're so mean but then, he's so inept. Reads To Blind Children The Hon. Rosario Mar- chese, Minister of Culture and Communications, this morning read to a room full of sighted, visually im- paired and blind children from a print i braille text donated to the Scarborough Public Library Scar- borough c by the Optimist CI of borough through the Cana- dian National Institute for the Blind. The celebration held m Oct. 20th, concluded the Scarborough Public Library Board's activities for Ontario Public library Week, and recognized the generous donations of large print books from the Op- timist Aub of Scarborough and print % braille books also donated by the Op- timist Club of Scarbotmugh through the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind. Scarborough Public Library Board Chairman Richard Goldsmith, who presided over the celebra- tion as master of ceremonies, said "1 am delighted that the Scar- borough Public Library Board, through the generous donations of the Optimist Club of Scar- borough and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, are able to begin a collection of this kind for our children." The highlight of the event was the reading of print, braille text by a blind mother to her sighted daughter. Wed.

About the Bands HMCS York Her Majesty's Canadian Ship York has been a part of Toronto's history since April 10, 1923 when the Royal Candian Navy Volunteer Reserve established a half company at 34 King St. W. Today, HMCS York is one of 24 Naval Reserve divisions in Canada. York's current mission is to provide security in the Port of Toronto in an emergency. It also pro- vides divers and a rescue vessel for the Canadian In- ternational Air Show and acts as host unit for visiting warships. The Band of HMCS York appears at community and ceremonial functions throughout the year. Governor General's Horse Guards The band of the Governor General's Horse Guards was formed at the turn of the century to provide mar- tial music for the regiment and popular music for the community. Today the band is made up of 35 musi- cians and plays music in the brass and reed tradi- tion. The band provides music for all types of activities during approximately 40 engagements a year. Queen's Fork Rangers The Queen's York Rangers are an armoured reconnaissance regiment located in southern On- tario. The bands Corps of Drums have been associated with the Regi- ment since 1975. They were the winners at the Calgary Stampede, and have been winners in the CNE War- riors Day Parade 10 times since 1975. 7th Toronto Field Regi- ment The Regimental Band has been active since the early days of Toroto's history. The band played on the roof of the first horse-drawn streetcar and marched from Garrison Park to the Exhibition Grounds for the opening of the first Canadian National Exhibition. The band is very ver- satile in that the Concert Band can break down into a 17 piece dance band, a 22 piece Mess dinner band. a brass quintet, a woodwind quintet and a Fanfare Trumpet section. The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada This band is the oldest continually serving Militia Band in Canada. having been formed in Toronto in 1860. The Regimental bugles were formed in 1866. and continue to participate with the Band at regimen- tal functions and parades. 38th Highlanders of Canada The 48th Highlanders' Bands were organized shortly after the ulception of the Regiment in 1891. and have remained among the most recognized bands in Canada. The regimental Pipes and Drums and the volunteer Military Band air the most publicly visi- ble part of today's Regi- ment. MOONLIGHT HAIR DESIGN NEW ADDRESS 2400 Kingston Road Scarborough 267.3912 The Toronto Scottish Regi- ment The Toronto Scottish Regiment is the direct descentant in the Canadian militia of the 75th Battalion of the Canadian Expedi- tionary Force. The unit was formed in 1915. The Pipe Hand is dedicated to preseving the Scottish traditions within the Regi- ment. The 400 Squadron Pipes and Drums The 400 Squardron Pipe Band was formed in 1947 and soon made its mark as a championship band in the competition circuit of On- tario. The stirring music. the striking R.C.A.F. tar- tan and the precision of the band have all become recognized symbols of the Squadron itself - on parade, in competition and in public performance, both in Canada and abroad.

The money will be used to expand the agency's administrative space in Toronto, and pro- vide enhanced services for seniors with developmental disabilities in Scarborough. Mrs. Akande said that the funding Includes $18,000 annually to enable the agency to move to larger quarters at its current 815 Danforth Ave. location. The old quarters have become unsuitable. A fur- ther $87,120 annually will allow additional counsell- ing staff to be hired to enhance the agency's delivery of services to seniors who have developmental disabilities. The seniors live at two agency -operated homes in Scarborough. "I'm pleased that my ministry is able to assist Surex with these expansion programs," said Mrs. Akande. "The programs at the Corinne and Manor - wood homes in Scar- borough, enable the elderly citizens with developmen- tal disabilities living there, to enjoy dignified lifestyles as independently as possi- ble. With added staff to fur- ther assist them, I know that the individuals can in- crease their sense of self- sufficiency."

Photo - &)n Ringette Skates Its Way Into Scene Youth March For Drug Free Toronto Ringette enthusiasts across Canada are gearing up for what could prove to be the most exciting season for the Canadian born ice sport for girls. Since its development in 1963 in North Bay, Ontario, Ringette has grown both in terms of numbers and visibility and is now matur- ing both domestically and internationally. Events planned for this season will launch Ringette into the Canadian sports scene as a major winter sport. During the week of Feb. 25 -Mar. 1, 1991 Ringette will be featured for the first time at the 1991 Canada Winter Games in Charlot- tetown, P.E.I. Skills of players across the country are being tested as coaches are putting their athletes through vigorous training programs in preparation for this national Belle (15 years and under) tourna- ment. After a tremendously successful First World Ringette Championship held earlier this year in Gloucester, Ontario, ex- citement is building for world class Ringette players who are in an- ticipation of the 1992 World Ringette Championships to be held in Helsinki, Finland. Canada will be represented at the event by two teams: gold medalists of an Eastern and Western Canadian Championship. Other countries expected to attend are the United States, Finland, Sweden, France and possibly New Zealand and Switzerland. Canada will be showcas- ing its elite athletes in three age divisions: Junior (14 and under), Belle (15 and under), and Deb (18 and over) at the 13th Cana- dian Ringette Champion- ships for the Air Canada Cups. The championship event will be held in Hull, Quebec, Apr. 8-14, 1991 in Robert Guertin arena. The format of this year's event will be changed to a modified round robin tour- nament with up to three pools to allow for more in- tense competition and greater spectator interest. As an expression of the excitement building up over the 1991-92 Ringette season, Ringette en- thusiasts will join together in celebrating Gillette Soft and D ri National Ringette Week, Nov. 11-18, 1990. Ringette Week is a celebra- tion of the sport of Ringette in which over 600 com- munities across Canada work together to publicize Skating At Don't spend another winter on the sidelines of the rink as a happy crowd glides past.

November l4, 1990 Business Community News 15 Businesses Win Canada Awards Fifteen Ontario businesses were awarded trophies by Industry, Science and Technology Minister Benoit on Oct. 31st, at the 1990 Canada Awards for Business Ex- cellence ceremony in Ot- tawa. Minister Bouchard presented gold trophies to Alias Research Inc. of Toronto, Cangene Corpora- tion, of Mississauga, BM Canada Ltd. of Toronto, Northern Telecom Canada Limited, of Brampton, and Engine Control Systems Ltd.. of Newmarket. Alias Research won its award in the Innovation category for the develop- ment of Alias Designer, computer aided -industrial design (CAID) software that allows designers to generate photo -realistic prototypes and manufac- turable milled models of new product designs. The company has become a world leader in CAID technology, gaining a 50 percent share of the market worldwide. Cangene Corporation's award in the Invention category is in recognition of the company's develop- ment of a biotechnology process which amplifies nucleic acid and holds great promise for applica- tions in diagnostic testing. IBM Canada's Technology Manufacturing Plant in Toronto was honoured in the Productivi- ty category for its strategy to shift from low-tech final product assembly to high- tech electronic manufac- turing and for tripling plant productivity and doubling revenue over a four year period. Northern Telecom's Digital Switching and Customer Service Divi- sions were recognized in the Quality category for in- tensive dedication to quali- ty in the manufacture and service of complex digital switching products. The divisions have reduced outages by 7 percent and nonconformities by a fac- tor of nine. Engine control Systems received the first gold trophy in the new Environ- ment category for creating a filter device that removes over 50 percent of the toxic compounds and almost all carcinogens from the ex- haust of underground diesel engines. For the presentation of the En- vironment Award, Minister Bouchard was joined by the Honourable Robert de Cotret, Minister of En- vironment. "The Canadian business leaders we are honouring tonight have demonstated the commitment to ex- cellence and innovation that are critical to success in the global economy." said Mr. Bouchard. "The Canada Awards for Business Excellence is our way of providing national recognition for their achievements.'. $1 Billion From Port Industry The Port of Toronto and its surrourding industry contribute economic benefits in excess of $1 billion annually. according to a survey conducted by the Toronto Harbour Com- miccim, The survey, by the Plan- ning and Development Department, also showed the district has a total in- dustrial employment of 4,802 persons. Almost half of these are employed within the port and in related industries. The area is a centre for both the redistribution and production of goods. Of those industries who responded, port and related use industries represented about half. Classification of these in- dustries was based on criteria of direct relatx)w ship to a port industry or the use of water transport in moving materials to and from the area. Some 80 percent of survey respondents estimated their total volume of inbound materials annually at 4,359,194 tonnes of goods valued at 5738,260.000. Con- struction oo-struction products such as cement and asphalt con- stituted 38 percent of the total. In contrast to the inbound flow of goods, 73 percent of the survey respondents showed an outward move- ment of 4,322.304 tonnes Of material per year valued at Wi,097.680. Some 40 per- cent of outbound construc- tion materials were destin- ed for points in Southern Ontario. In the survey. 330 movements by ship ac- counted for 53 percent (2,310,373 tonnes) of all materials into the area. By comparison, 3,532,513 ton- nes of material were mov- ed out by 820,872 trucks. The recycling industries in the district received 659,000 tonnes of the ctiy's waste material which in- cluded refuse from the Metro Toronto Blue Box Program, demolition sites and commercial waste. The value of recycled materials came to $93 million. Of those who answered the survey, some 55 per- cent indicated their employees were earning between $20.000 and $40.000 per year. Almost 30 percent had incomes of in the $40.000 to $60.000 range. The average annual in- come in the manufacturing sector in Canada is $25,012. according to Statistics Canada. The benefits of higher in- come labour jobs were fur- ther enhanced by the close proximity of employee residences. Some 39 per- cent of workers resided in the City of Toronto while 36 percent lived in other parts of Metro Toronto. "The provision of jobs in the port industrial district within ckse proximity of buffered residential areas. could facilitate increased use of public transit and bicycles." the survey report said. "Although, the existing levels of service and lack of bicycle lanes are presently deterrents... With a large percentage of the employees residing in Toronto, the overall benefits in terms of reduc- ed commute' movements and vehicle emissions are important reasons for sup- porting industrial deve1W matt. the report noted. "A similar relationship exists between industries and their raw and furnished materials." the survey said, adding that "shorter travel distances result in reduced highway conges- tion and environmental im- pact. Most importantly. the econorrac and environmen- tal efficiencies of water- borne transportation have been underscored... Metro Toronto Board of Trade Recent Policy Submissions CORPORATION LEGISLATION Disclosure. Valuation and Approval for Insider Bids, etc. In its July 27, 1990 submis- sion to the Ontario Securities Commission regarding Draft OSC Policy Statement 9.1. the board expresses its con- cern that the language of the Policy Statement is much too open-ended and subjective and lacks cer- tainty. Also, the board strongly disagrees with the ap- proach outlined in the Policy Statement that all transactions which might conceivably involve a related party should be submitted to the Commis- sion for approval or be pro- ceeded with at risk. Take-over Bids In its July 27, 1990 sub- mission to the Canadian Securities Administrators Take -Over Bill Subcommit- tee, the board comments on proposed changes to pro- vincial securities legisla- tion relating to the level of the take-over bid threshold. The board advises of its concern that the take-over bid provisions of provincial securities legislation should apply only to ac- quisitions of effective con- trol. The board disagrees with the proposed reduction of the threshold from 2096 to 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer and recommends the retention of the 20% threshold. AIR SERVICES Canadian International Aviation Policy The board, in its submis- sion to the Committee on International Aviation Policy (July 25, 1990), states that increased inter- national air services are necessary for Toronto's tourism and convention trade, attracting foreign in- vestment, encouraging in- ternational trade and pro- moting the profile of the ci- ty. The board supports the need for additional air ser- vices to Toronto and Canada, advocating the in- clusion of the Transporta- tion Annex in the Free Trade Agreement. The development of future bilateral aviation agreements should be as unrestrictive as possible. LABOUR RELATIONS Second Injury and Enhancement Fund In its September 13, 1990 response to the Workers' Compensation Board fliscussion Paper on "The Application of the Second $25,000 Grant To S.A.Armstrong Pauline A. Browes, MP for Scarborough Centre, has announced that S.A. Armstrong Limited, of Scarborough. will receive $25,000 in federal assistance under the Ad- vanced Manufacturing 'Technology Application Program (AMTAP) . The company will use the support under AMTAP to study and evaluate the potential impact that new information technologies can have on their opera- tions, how it could improve their productivity and Metro Council Notes Markham & Nashdene Traffic Ughts Traffic Lights are going to be installed at Nashdene Road and Markham Rd. Estimated cost of the signals is $48,000 but as this section of Markham Rd. is under an Environment Assessment for a possible future widening, the signal installation will be of a temporary nature until the widening is finalized. 'Turn Prohibitions On O'Connor Dr. & Les - mount Ave. The hours of operation of the existing northbound right turn prohibitions to O'Connor Dr. from Les - mount Ave.. Cadorna Ave., and St. Hubert Ave., have been extended from 7 a. m. - 7 p.m. to any time. The change was requested by the Borough of East York and a poll indicated that a majority of area residents were in favour of the Left Hand Lase on Steetes Ave. at Yosge St. & Hilda Ave. The centre lane of Steeles Ave. between Yonge St. and Hilda Ave. has been designated for eastbound and westbound left turns only. The recent construc- tion of Steeles Ave. to seven lanes has allowed for this change. Rail Haul Councillors Paul Christie and Ken Morrish went to England in June to inspect ....................:ti:........ ....... Injury and Enhancement Fund (SIEF)." the board states that SIEF plays a critical role in the ad- ministation of the Workers' Compensation system and must be maintained. The SIEF provides cast relief for all Schedule 1 employers where workers' claims are prolonged by pre-existing medical condi- tions. If such costs were not removed from an employer's account, the employer's experience rating and its risk of a sec- tion 91(7) penalty would be substantially affected - The board points out that the Discussion Paper is flawed in its direction, its use of statistics, and in its failure to deal with SIEF as part of the WCB's overall revenue and assessment strategy. The board recommends that eligibility for SIEF be considered at the outset of every claim and reviewed on an ongoing basis as new medical evidence becomes available and the effects of the accident are realized. EDUCATION In "Good Jobs, Bad Jobs," the Economic Coun- cil of Canada (ECC) reports on employment trends in the service economy and how policies and institutions must be reshaped to meet the emerging challenges of the 1990s and beyond. The board's Sept. 13. 1990 submission to Judith Max- well, Chair, ECC, concurs with many of the points made and takes the oppor- tunity to state the board's position regarding payroll training taxes, and the use of employment insurance funds. the rail haul system in Un - don, England. They reported that rail haul in London has proved to be physically and financially viable over a period of many years. The challenges in Ontario result from our significant- ly colder winter temperatures, the limited capacity time remaining and the approval time that has been experienced until the Environmental Assess- ment Act. Use of 4040 Lawrence Ave. E. Metro has approved the purchase of 4222 Kingston Rd. for a family hostel use.

AMTAP is a four-year service-oriented program of Industry, Science and Technology Canada. It has an $8.5 million fund to spon- sor about 90 projects in each of its four years of operation. The program provides funding for qualified funis to engage outside consultants who will assess the commercial and technical feasibility of comprehensively upgrading their manufac- turing operations. The program supports projects from both in- dividual and groups of companies. Where one company is involved, con- tributions can be provided of up to 75 percent of the cost of engaging a consul- tant, to a total of $2.5,000. Where there is a demonstrated advantage to a joint application covering a group of companies, assistance could be up to 75 percent of the consultant's cost, with a limit of $20,000 per firm up to a total limit of $200.000.

JANICE AINSLEY, Executrix by her solicitors McGIBBON, BASTEDO, ARMSTRONG S ARMSTRONG 32 Simcoe Street South, Box 2396 Oshawa, Ontario L I H 7V6 with Rene Soetens, M.P. On Oct. 25th, the Hon. Barbara McDougall, Minister of Employment and Immigration, tabled the government's Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration. The report contained details of the government's im- migration plan, which will come into effect on Jan. Ist,1991, and will be implemented over the next five years. Mrs. McDougall announced that Canada will accept up to 220,000 imimgrants and refugees in 1991 and up to 250,000 in each of the following four years. This represents a moderate in- crease from the estimated 1990 level of 2007000. The increse will be accompanied by a restoration of the traditional balance between the three streams of immigra- tion tion - the family, refugee and independent categories. %is is designed to reflect the government's ongoing commit- ment to family reunification as the cornerstone of Canada's immigration policy. To this end, the operational definition of "family" will be changed. In addition to spouses and ftancO(e)s, it will now include all dependent children, regardless of age or marital status. and all parents and adopted children. regardless of their age. Adult, non-dependent children will not be includ- ed. but may still qualify as assisted relatives. The plan also calls for a gradual increase in the number. and proportion of skilled workers chosen as independents and assisted relatives, and processing of their applications will be speeded up. Initiatives will also be undertaken to make the selection process more responsive to national and provincial needs and objectives. An important part of Minister McDougall's report is the new Federal Integration Strategy, which will provide fuw ding for language training over the next four fiscal years. These measures are of great importance. as they will en- sure that policies and programs are in place which allow people to integrate quickly and comfortably into Canadian societThese measures will be accompanied bygemient so that immigration does not exceed plann- ed As the M.P. for Ontario Rigg I am pleased to cecTua the contributions of new Canadians to our area, and I en- courage all my constituents to welcome new arrivals, just as we or our ancestors were wekaned at one time.
