These were to be Completed and sent to Ontario Housing in London to be pro- cessed. If the response given by those in the area indicates the need for senior citizens apart- ments, then the matter will be looked at more closely. If the response is poor, the chances are poor -that such apartments would be built. "So far the number of quest- ionnaires returned is not too high, but it is early yet." says Mr. Cowan. "If we haven't got too many more within a month, say less than 20, we would prob- ably ask they be readvertised be- fore the topic is forgotten." Bell criticized' by handicapped Hearing aids will not be able to pick up the sound from the balanced armature-style phone Bell Canada plans to install, the ALPHA group fears. Mire information about the new phone system is needed, but the group to aid the physically handicapped voted to oppose the installation of the phones until Bell ensures the hard of hearing will not 'be left in silence. Bell was also criticized for public telephones which are too high for people in wheelchairs to reach. A letter asking for easier access to the phones will be sent to Bell, While Bell seems to be keeping the handicapped off the phone, local arenas are including ramps for wheelchairs and accessible washrooms and water fountains in their renovation plans. Mr. McDonald of the Exeter Recreational Centre Board outlined the plans for the new complex at the last ALPHA meeting. The Exeter complex will have all the above plus a special area surrounded by plexiglasS that will allow wheelchair spectators to see the action. In addition, tell will he asked to lower phones for very short people and people in wheelchairs. Other arena boards have been contacted and reacted positively, Goderich, Blyth and Atwood Lave not replied yet.

Times-Advocate, August 12, 1976 Page 21 Hay seeks planning grant Hay township council endorsed a resolution concerning the clos- ing of arenas in Ontario at its August 3 meeting. The resolut- ion, from Exeter council, accuses the Ministry of Labor of creat- ing a contradictory element in asking for engineering studies to be carried out on basis of the 1975 National Building Code of arenas which were built with the Ministry of Labor's approval under the terms of the 1971 Building Code. the resolution asks the Minis- try of Labor to use the stand- ards of the National Building Code that were in effect at the time of construction or renova- tion of an arena when determin- ing the structural capabilities of a building. That is, provided the building was originally con- structed or renovated with the approval of the MinistrY. The resoltition says it is not the intention of the Exeter coun- cil to ask the Ministry to ignore its responsibility in guarantee- ing the safety of public arenas, however, it is hard to visualize what new standards may be in vogue ten years from now. How can the ministry expect areas to meet standards adopted five or ten years after the building was renovated or constructed? In other business, an applica- tion for land severance from George Harvey to sever part six, of Lot 3, Plan 29. Council re- commended the severence not be granted as a report from the Ausable Conservation Authority says the lot is not a fit building lot, by council. Tenders have been called by Stanley township as the drain is partially in both town- ships. Hay township has re- ceived no objects concerning the drain so far. Three tile drain loans were approved for a total expenditure Of $30,000. Cduncil authorized the Huron County planning department to make application to the Ministry of Housing for a community planning study grant for the pre- paraion of a secondary plan for the township.
